  • The trouble is With climbing. Is the difference between getting to the top, and being a bit annoyed at having a full bidon left. Which you neednt of carried. Or popping half way after finishing all Your water is fecking tiny. a few C warmer, tiny bit better hydrated in advance, pushing a couple BPM more.......etc. etc.

    I've done exactly this on a 1500m Climb recently. Finished With a full bottle and a bit one day. Popped less than 2 weeks later, ran out of water, and added 10 mins, when it was 8C warmer.

    I've ordered some of that Osmosis stuff on clearance.

  • It's not saying carry fluids during a hill climb it's saying being dehydrated beforehand negatively impacts performance. I used to race TTs dehydrated on purpose, thinking the extra couple of kilos might buy me a second or two but they probably hindered me. Luckily I never have to race one again.
