• 10× FuelGel – caffeine-free energy hydrogels to top up energy during the race.
• 4× FuelGel with caffeine – energy hydrogels with 100 mg caffeine to support energy and focus.
• 1× BrainFuel – hydrogel with 200 mg caffeine and taurine for a strong boost to alertness and concentration.
• 1× Electrolytes – concentrated electrolyte drops with sodium and potassium to replenish minerals during the race.
• 1× Sports Bottle 750 ml – soft sports bottle with a quality spout, easy opening and a reliable leak-resistant closure.

Usage

Before the race

• 1× Hydration Drink HD 500 Original Lemon – drink about 0.5 l the day before the race and another 0.5 l roughly 60–90 minutes before the start to replenish minerals and support hydration.
• 1× caffeine-free FuelGel – take about 15 minutes before the start as start-line energy without stimulation.

During the race

• Swim: no supplementation needed during the swim. The pre-race prep above is enough.
• Bike 2–3 hours: use about 6–9× FuelGel, ideally 1 hydrogel roughly every 20 minutes. That is about 3 gels per hour, of which 1 may be a caffeine gel as needed.
• Hydration Drink on the bike: sip gradually throughout the bike, ideally split across 2 bottles. If you need stronger hydration (higher sodium), consider the pack variant with HD 1000, HD 1500 or HD 2000.
• Hydration is key: on the bike, keep taking fluids steadily — roughly at least 0.5 l per hour depending on temperature, intensity and individual need.
• Run 1.5–2 hours: use about 4–5× FuelGel, alternating every 20–30 minutes. The plan can include 1 caffeine gel and 1 BrainFuel.
• BrainFuel: save it ideally for the last 7–8 km, when a stronger boost to energy, alertness and focus can help at the finish.
• Tip for sensitive athletes: if you tend to get muscle cramps or know you lose more sodium in sweat, you can add Electrolytes to on-course electrolyte drinks to support mineral intake on the run.

After the race

• Recovery is not included in the pack. After the race we recommend topping up energy, protein, fluids and minerals with Iontmax ReFuel Drink or Iontmax ReFuel Food, for example.
• Tip: Test the full nutrition plan in training before race day. That way you can check gel amount, caffeine, hydration and timing.
