I couldn't believe how many bottles, bar and gel wrappers were thrown along the stretch of road between Henley and Marlow. If I can carry all my stuff home when riding for up to 12hrs how hard is it for some wanker doing a 1hr event to hold onto their crap until they spot a bin? Shit, you shouldn't even need to eat in a sprint event. 1 bottle on bike, job done.
You need to train to eat/drink at whatever intensity you are racing at (assuming you need to eat/drink).
On the subject of triathlon.. to all those fuckers who did what appeared to be a triathlon in Henley/Marlow today - CLEAN UP YOUR FUCKING MESS!
