If you can get the temperature correct, you can pretty much eat according to textbook on these things. So I started making videos about it and trying to post those for my students and travel along with my first half Ironman experience. And those went over really well. And it was just an awesome experience to sort of feel what that was like.

And I love the idea of training and trying to get better each day and competing. It turns out I'm not very good at triathlon. Yeah.

Yeah. You know what's funny? So I lost about 25 pounds training for that.

Yeah. You know what's funny? So I lost about 25 pounds training for that.

I lost so much, but I was like, I was like fueling. I was doing the creatine. I was doing everything to try to save what I could. And I documented it all. So I actually did okay. But when I was down, like getting real low, you know, my friends and my wife in particular, like, you can't get too skinny on me. So that was a change.

I was definitely, my body type is not really built for triathlon, but I tried to force it that way for quite a while.

Yeah, so I was targeting 60 grams an hour of carbohydrate, which is pretty typical.

Yeah, I didn't want to go north 90, 100 where they're starting to go now. I knew I'm not elite enough to perhaps do it. I didn't also have the stomach training to handle it. Um, and it wasn't a priority for me at the time. I wanted to do textbook so I could show my students, here's a textbook. Here's what we're doing. So it was 60 grams an hour. Um, and that, that was fine.

So I was, I was doing that with like goos and guroctanes. They're usually 30 grams. I was taking two of those an hour. And it had fluids on the bike. And I used a product at the time that had protein in it as well, not for anything other than maybe help save a little muscle over these prolonged periods of training. So those were some common things that I was doing over that time.

No, I tell you, at this moment, 40 grams of a protein-dominant food that's less than 220 calories.

Yeah. So let me tell you a story.
