Fueling 2 hour TR workouts

Carb heavy diet during the day. Carbs at breakfast (granola, fruit, tangerine juice). Carbs at lunch (veggies and rice). Two bananas to start the ride, and sometimes nothing on the bike. If I didn’t eat enough carbs I’ll pack a 90g bottle of carbs on the bike, or two Clif bars (90g). With the 2 pre-ride bananas, its basically 65g/hour unless its just 2 bananas and thats 23g/hour. Sometimes just a Clif bar and that splits the difference at 45g/hour on the bike. On the bike carbs is dependent on on the dinner menu and tomorrow’s workout. Mon-Wed is usually 2 hours, Fri often 1.5 hours, and a longer ride on Saturday. Mostly 1300-1500kJ except for Saturday. Carbs at dinner.
