[QUOTE="CHIET1, post: 1884933, member: 368096"] I usually feel ok in the high threes, if gets lower than that I feel i and I will use dextro tabs. To be honest I just don’t think I had enough training in the legs and that was the cause of my tiredness at 12km. I personally think I would perform best at normal BSLs like 4-5, it’s just so difficult to get it right at the start of the race, because of the non food elements that cause BSL to rise. Also I tend to feel more thirsty when my BSL is out of range, even when it’s in the 7s and I definitely took on enough fluids pre run. This also slowed me down and of course it was a warm day here in CH at 22 and sunny during the race and the route was quite exposed. In further reflection and after eating a lot this evening [emoji23] I am happy overall with the performance given the level of training I put into this (which was not enough). I go again next Sunday, but it’s a 12km which will be nice after today’s excursion. Depending on the start time (if in the morning) I might try that one fasted. Then I will see if I will take on another half in October. [/QUOTE]
