Cameron Wurf recently set the fastest Ironman bike leg time ever at Ironman Texas, clocking in at 3:53:32. His standout performance was partly attributed to a unique fuelling strategy where he consumed about 200 grams of carbohydrates per hour, utilizing approximately 28 energy gels. In an interview, Wurf discussed how he adapted his bike setup for better gel storage and addressed whether his unique metabolism contributed to his ability to process such high fuel levels, providing insights into nutrition strategies for elite triathletes.
Wurf explained his strategy of consuming over 200 grams of carbs per hour during the Ironman bike leg to achieve unprecedented performance, utilizing innovative carrying methods.
The reality is, it's probably only a watt or two of aerodynamic loss; it's probably negligible, demonstrating Wurf's detail-oriented approach to optimizing his cycling efficiency.
