During a sprint triathlon, fueling is important to help maintain performance and delay fatigue. In the hours leading up to the race, it is recommended to consume around 80-100g of easy-to-digest carbohydrates, along with some protein and fat, and to drink 16-20 ounces of fluid. Before the event, sipping on a sport drink in the 90 minutes leading up to the race can provide an energy boost. During the event, research shows that while you may not deplete glycogen stores enough to affect performance, ingesting carbs during the race can still boost performance. On the bike, liquid nutrition will be the easiest to digest and absorb, so it is recommended to have one bottle of sport drink with around 200 calories and to sip on it every 10-15 minutes. Similarly, on the run, sipping sport drink or taking a swig from a gel flask every 10-15 minutes can help maintain energy levels.
