226ERS OFFICIAL EVENT NUTRITION
Test in your pre-championship training sessions the RACE DAY BAR, the ISOTONIC GEL and the mineral salts HYDRAZERO you will find at the aid stations and at the finish line with the discount code in the image below that you can redeem directly at 226ERS.com once registered.
HYDRAZERO
It is a drink of essential mineral salts since we must replenish lost electrolytes to perform well, not only in competitions but also in training. Its use is especially recommended when exercising as hydration and as a recharge of mineral salt deposits prior to competitions and recovery. It contains 500 milligrams of sodium that will help you maintain your performance under high humidity conditions.
RACE DAY BAR
It is a perfect energy bar to take during the cycling sector as it has an easy to chew texture and very pleasant flavors. It contains 25 grams of carbohydrate based on dried fruits and pumpkin seeds and no sugar.
ISOTONIC GEL
It is a perfect gel for the running part of the race because it is hydrated and does not require water. Its main source of carbohydrates is cyclodextrin, a state-of-the-art carbohydrate that improves glycogen replenishment more efficiently, offers a prolonged energy release, perfect during competition and does not create insulin spikes, favoring the use of glucose at the cellular level in a shorter time and maintaining blood sugar level for longer.
