Man, where does the time go!? Seems like yesterday we returned from SE Asia and got back into it. Here we are about 6 weeks later and 3 races (for me) later...and No reports that I can remember.2.5 weeks ago, I headed to New Orleans, Louisiana for t…
Brandon,
Your plan looks pretty solid for race day nutrition and it pretty much mirror's Amy's plan and she came through without a glitch. The only difference I see is the Nescafe coffees. Have you used those in the past?
I'd like to discuss with yo…
I have been a bit remiss in my activity here at the Team site. Amy and I have been in Thailand for a TeamTBB training camp since early February.A week or so ago, I raced IM China. You can find my race report here, but it was indeed a survivor kind o…
Brandon,
there seems to be a big variance among athletes in terms of appropriate dose for PreRace. We also throw caution that as you use large doses, you also increase your chance of gastric distress. Our general recommendation is no more than two s…
Robert and Team,I got the following question from one of my athletes:I am still playing with the Pre-race mix in
all my water bottles, for the long stuff (3+ hours). To the tune of
1/2 scoop or less of EFS mix with 1/2 scoop or less of pre-race in…
I guess you could call it a First Endurance 'fix'. I'm waiting on the bars to be available! Amy and I will usually eat one before an early morning workout or during a long ride, and we are down to our last few!
Anyhoo, I'm glad to be officially on…
I know that I commented on the head ache on another post. If it went away in a few days while eating wheat/gluten, I bet it takes a bit longer to go away than 7 days.
I don't notice too much of a difference between the two, but there is a definite…
I had a low grade headache for awhile when we went GF, but it went away. Also, I had to eat a lot more fat since I haven't been constantly eating. Some olive oil, but even butter and coconut oil for stir frys. I also add a bit of coconut milk to som…
I think that tahini would be good every so often, but I think that sesame seeds are really high in Omega-6 fats, so depending on what you think of those, you might want to limit it a bit. Omega-3s are more anti-inflammatory, and Omega-6 are more inf…
Jim,
I think that if you check out some of the race reports, you'll find that a lot of us just go ahead and take the multi-V whenever we eat our breakfast. For me that ends up being anywhere from 2-3 hours before an event depending on the length. I…
Matt,
I think that Robert has posted before that all of the FE products are gluten free. The EFS prototype is great too!

My race report will be posted to www.brandonmarsh.com if you are interested.
For nutrition, I go with the 'what works' mentality.

Race breakfast of hot rice cereal, protein powder, almond butter.

I had a weird calf cramp at the Hulaman Tri in August after 'never' having one before. For me, I think that it was wearing a wetsuit after a long lay off of not swimming in one. I also think that calf cramps in the swim can result if someone is cons…
I don't know that osmolality is 'really' that important. Several studies have shown, and there are links on the FE site, that using a varied mix of carbohydrate sources in sports drinks can enhance the absoption or at least utilization. EFS and EFS…

Been a Long Time...
Kind of like the Led Zepplin song...Rock and Roll.
Anyway, I have hopped the pond again so to speak and am in Switzerland for training camp #2. This time, we actually brought and shipped some FE products over here to use in training.
More later, I am about to head off and ride up and down the mountains of Swiss. You can check my latest blog post here.

IM China Nutrition and Race Report
I have been a bit remiss in my activity here at the Team site. Amy and I have been in Thailand for a TeamTBB training camp since early February.
A week or so ago, I raced IM China. You can find my race report here, but it was indeed a survivor kind of day.
I hesitate to post my nutrition report because on the surface it did not work 100%. You can never be too sure what caused the cramps, but at th… Continue

Needing a 'Fix'
I guess you could call it a First Endurance 'fix'. I'm waiting on the bars to be available! Amy and I will usually eat one before an early morning workout or during a long ride, and we are down to our last few!
Anyhoo, I'm glad to be officially on the team this year after using FE products for several years now.

- Brandon,
Welcome to our new site. We highly welcome your extensive experience and also hope you can gain something from the nutrition programs we are testing. I'll be down at J&A over memorial day week and have a talk/ride scheduled with the shop. Would love to get a chance to meet you face to face.
