After my disastrous run in last year's 70.3 I decided to take a closer look at my fueling strategy. It needed some work. And I found a new favourite carb/electrolyte drink from No-Nonsense Nutrition.

Kidding. But go to patreon.com and check out my membership options and join a growing community of triathletes so you don't have to be a lonely triathlete anymore.Today we're talking about one of the biggest performance limiters in endurance sports — and often one of the most overlooked.Fueling.Not just carbs.Not just hydration.But the balance between carbohydrates, fluids, and electrolytes… and how getting this wrong can completely derail your training and your racing.Because here's the thing:You can have the perfect bike.The perfect aero helmet.The perfect pacing strategy.But if your fueling plan falls apart halfway through a race… your race could be over.Like last year during my Victoria 70.3. In retrospect, I am pretty sure I didn't hydrate enough during the bike. But even if I did (and I didn't) I was definitely low on electrolytes. I even added salt capsules to my drink but clearly not enough because my legs almost did not function for my run. The entire run my quads would not relax. There were moments I thought I'd fall on my face. I was in agony for the whole 2+ hours of that run. Now, I can't say for certain that it was related to electrolyte loss but I have a pretty strong suspicion that it was.So, since that race I've been rethinking my own fueling strategy.For the last couple of years, I've been using Allmax Nutrition CARBION+ as my primary carb drink during training and racing.I've loved it.I think it tastes fantastic.But recently I started asking myself a bigger question:“Am I actually getting enough electrolytes for the amount of work I'm doing?”And that question sent me down a pretty deep rabbit hole.Eventually, I came across a company called No-Nonsense Nutrition and their product called Race Day Formula.And today's episode is really about what I learned through that whole process.Not just comparing two drink mixes……but understanding:how much fluid you actually need,how much sodium you probably need,how to estimate your sweat rate,how to know if you're a salty sweater,and why simpler fueling formulas may actually work better when intensity gets really high.So let's get into it.Part 1 — Why Fueling Gets Harder As Fitness ImprovesOne thing I've noticed as my training volume and intensity have increased……is that fueling becomes WAY more important.Because when you're training easy?Almost anything works.You can survive on water and vibes.But once you start doing:long tempo rides,threshold intervals,race simulations,brick workouts,or hard long runs in heat……suddenly your stomach matters.Your gut matters.Your hydration strategy matters.And one of the biggest issues endurance athletes run into is simply this:They stop being able to tolerate sweet drinks.Especially when intensity gets high.You're breathing hard.Your heart rate is elevated.Your stomach is bouncing around.And suddenly that super sugary drink that tasted amazing sitting on the couch……starts tasting like melted candy syrup.That “too sweet” feeling can become nauseating.And once your gut shuts down, everything falls apart:carb absorption drops,hydration drops,energy drops,pacing drops.It becomes a domino effect.Part 2 — My Experience with CARBION+Now to be fair…I actually really liked CARBION+.It tastes good.It mixes easily.And it's definitely designed for endurance athletes.Looking at the formula, it uses a combination of highly branched cyclic dextrin and maltodextrin-style carbohydrates, along with a hydration blend containing sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium.Each serving provides:25 grams of carbohydrate190 mg sodium100 mg potassiumplus smaller amounts of magnesium and calcium.But as I started training harder and increasing carb intake……I realized something.To hit modern fueling recommendations — somewhere around 60 to 90 grams of carbs per hour — I had to drink a LOT of CARBION+.And even then……the sodium numbers weren't especially high.And the formula itself is pretty engineered.It has:absorption blends,specialized dextrins,sweeteners,flavoring systems,and a whole bunch of extras.Now maybe that works fantastically for some athletes.But I started craving simplicity.Part 3 — Discovering No-Nonsense NutritionThat's when I found No-Nonsense Nutrition Race Day Formula.And what immediately stood out to me was how simple it was.Basically:two carbohydrate sources,electrolytes,done.No giant ingredient panel.No “hyper-performance absorption matrix.”Just carbs and electrolytes.And honestly?That simplicity really appealed to me.But the biggest difference……was the taste.Or more accurately:The lack of taste.It's incredibly mild.And that turned out to be a huge advantage.Because now I can mix:60 grams,75 grams,even 90 grams of carbs into a bottle……and it still doesn't taste overwhelmingly sweet.That's massive.Because modern endurance fueling science has shifted pretty dramatically over the last several years.A lot of athletes are now targeting:60–90 grams of carbs per hour,and some elite athletes go even higher.But your gut has to tolerate it.That's the key.And a lightly flavored drink can make a gigantic difference in gut comfort.Part 4 — Electrolytes: The Missing PieceNow let's talk electrolytes.Specifically sodium.Because this is where a LOT of endurance athletes underfuel.When we sweat, we lose:water,sodium,potassium,chloride,magnesium,and calcium.But sodium is the big one.And here's the tricky part:Sweat rate varies wildly between athletes.And sodium concentration varies wildly too.Some people lose relatively little sodium.Other people are absolute salt factories.You know who you are.If:sweat burns your eyes,your sweat tastes insanely salty,your clothes dry with white streaks,your skin feels gritty after workouts……you're probably a salty sweater.And those athletes often struggle the most in long races.Especially in heat.Part 5 — Estimating Sweat RateNow ideally, you'd get professionally tested.There are actual sweat testing services that can analyze:sweat sodium concentration,sweat rate,fluid loss,and help create a customized hydration strategy.But honestly?You can get surprisingly useful data yourself.Here's the simple DIY method.Before your workout:weigh yourself naked.Then:do your ride or run,track exactly how much fluid you drank.Afterward:towel off,weigh yourself again naked.The difference tells you how much fluid you lost.For example:If you lost:1 kilogram of body weight,and drank 500 mL during the workout……your total sweat loss was about 1.5 liters.If that workout lasted one hour……your sweat rate is roughly:1.5 liters per hour.And that's incredibly useful information.Because now you can start replacing fluids more accurately instead of just guessing.Part 6 — How Much Sodium Do You Need?Now this is where things get interesting.Average sodium losses during endurance exercise are often estimated somewhere around:500 to 1,000 mg per liter of sweat.But some athletes lose MUCH more.Especially heavy or salty sweaters.So where should you start?For many endurance athletes, somewhere around:500–1,000 mg sodium per hour…is a reasonable starting point during long or intense sessions.Then you experiment.Because this is highly individual.And symptoms matter.Things that MAY suggest inadequate sodium or hydration intake include:headaches,excessive fatigue,dizziness,declining performance,nausea,feeling “flat,”or severe cramping late in long events.Now to be clear:cramping is complicated.It's not always sodium-related.Fatigue and pacing play huge roles too.But sodium intake absolutely matters for fluid balance and maintaining performance during long efforts.Some athletes — especially very heavy sweaters — may end up closer to:1200,1400,even 1500 mg sodium per hour.But again:You TEST this in training.Never on race day.Part 7 — Why This Matters for Training TooAnd this is important.This isn't just about racing.Good fueling improves training quality too.If you fuel properly during training:you maintain power better,pace better,recover faster,reduce post-workout fatigue,and probably improve consistency.And consistency is everything in endurance sports.The athlete who recovers better…usually trains better.And the athlete who trains better consistently…usually races better.Fueling is not just survival.Fueling is performance.Part 8 — Cost Matters TooNow here's another thing I noticed.Cost.Because endurance fueling can get expensive FAST.Especially if you're training:10,12,15 hours a week.And when I compared the cost per 30 grams of carbohydrate……I found the No-Nonsense formula was actually cheaper than CARBION+.And over:multiple bottles,long rides,race prep blocks,Ironman training……that difference adds up.So now we're checking a lot of boxes:tastes lighter,easier on the stomach,simpler ingredients,higher electrolyte content,easier to hit modern carb targets,and cheaper.That's a pretty compelling combination.Part 9 — The Bigger LessonBut honestly……the bigger lesson here isn't about one brand versus another.It's about learning your body.Because hydration and fueling are incredibly individual.Your sweat rate is different than mine.Your sodium losses are different than mine.Your gut tolerance is different than mine.And the only way to really dial this stuff in……is to practice during training.Experiment.Track.Adjust.Repeat.That's how you build a race nutrition plan.ClosingSo if there's one takeaway from today's episode, it's this:Don't just train your legs.Train your fueling strategy too.Because the stronger and faster you become……the more important fueling becomes.And sometimes…simpler is actually better.If you're interested in checking out the Race Day Formula I mentioned, you can find it at No-Nonsense Nutrition. I'll also put a link in the show notes.That's it for me today.Thanks for listening to The Lonely Triathlete.Until next time…Peace.

Join Jane Johnston, Andrew Plank, and Jen Lowe today at 3 PM for this week's episode of The Greater Victoria Real Estate Show, where we discuss two major trends affecting the Victoria BC real estate market: mortgage renewal decisions after the COVID-era five-year fixed-rate cycle, and Greater Victoria's long-term population growth.Five years ago, many Canadian homeowners locked into low five-year fixed mortgage rates during COVID. Over the past year, that renewal wave created significant activity in the mortgage industry — but now that it has largely passed, what are borrowers choosing next? Are people moving into fixed rates, variable rates, shorter mortgage terms, or waiting for more clarity?We'll also look at one of the most important long-term trends shaping Greater Victoria real estate: continued net population growth over the past 24 years. Where are people moving from, why are they choosing Victoria and Vancouver Island, and where are some people moving when they leave?In this episode, we discuss Victoria BC real estate trends, Greater Victoria housing market updates, mortgage renewal trends in Canada, fixed vs. variable mortgage rates, moving to Victoria BC, Vancouver Island migration, population growth in Victoria BC, and what buyers, sellers, and homeowners need to know in today's market.Follow The Greater Victoria Real Estate Show for weekly conversations on local real estate, mortgages, market statistics, buyer and seller strategy, relocation trends, and practical advice for anyone thinking about buying, selling, investing, or moving to Victoria BC.

A city once redlined by a plan that literally read 'No Bike Routes Downtown' now leads Canada in cycling mode share, and ranks among North America's best cycling cities. We sit down with Tim Hewett, Senior Transportation Planner and Streetscape Designer for Victoria, BC, to unpack how a compact capital stitched regional trails into a safe, welcoming urban network that people actually use daily.We start with the pivotal gap: regional corridors like the Galloping Goose and Lochside once ended at the edge of the core, leaving riders to fend for themselves. The new Johnson Street Bridge and the first protected corridor on Pandora changed all that, and there's much more to come. ***********************************A couple of GREAT videos:Rolling in the City: a Video Tour of Victoria with Nic Laporte  Oh The Urbanity!

The arts have that capacity to be powerful broadcasters, conveyors of messages, invitations to celebration, reflection, storytelling, narrative building and so on. There's a vital role here for the arts. But like the rest of society, frankly, whether it's the banking system or government we're simply not doing it well enough that we could say we're satisfied with how much is happening and everything's going to be okay. It's not. If we just stopped now, chaos and worse are due. It's not to say that we can hold up the arts and say, if only you were doing your job, everything would be fine. No, we all have, no matter what sector, so much to do.This is my second conscient conversation with social innovator and former CEO of McConnell Foundation, Stephen Huddart. The first took place on June 17, 2021 in Montréal, episode 58, and this second took place on September 24th, 2024 in Victoria BC. I've condensed all of this rich conversation down to my new format of 15 minutes – not an easy edit - so what you'll hear highlights from our exchange about the vital role of art, social innovation, relations with indigenous peoples, the panarchy cycle, Stephen's leadership role with the Victoria Forum (co-hosted with members of the Canadian Senate) and more.Action pointsNurture the capacity of art to be powerful broadcasters, conveyors of messages, invitations to celebration, reflection, storytelling, narrative building, etc.Increase the vitality and role of art at the local level to contribute to a more dynamic civic cultureCreate more configurations to present, invite, engage, dialogue, contemplate, discuss the artsSee, hear and deeply hear others perspectives.Nurture the power of art to serve as a catalyst for inspiration and communityShow notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIStory PreviewWhat if art holds the key to unlocking our collective future?

Why aren't we doing it?There's a vital role for the arts at the local level to be contributing to dynamic civic culture.William Gibson said 'the future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed'.Behind the StoryStephen Huddart revisits the podcast to expand on previous conversations around social innovation, reflecting on the Victoria Forum 2024 and its focus on regenerative economies. The discussion navigates the complex challenges facing humanity, emphasizing the need for inclusivity and systemic change to address growing societal fractures. The power of art as a catalyst for inspiration and community is highlighted. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Note: this is the audio version of my 'listen and co-create' posting on 'a calm presence'. On September 23, 2024, while driving in Victoria BC to record a conversation with educator and musician Azul Carolina Duque for conscient season 6 (to be released in 2025), I was listening to Nate Hagens' The Great Simplification episode 139 : Bioregional Futures: Reconnecting to Place for Planetary Health with regenerative living activist Daniel Christian Wahl. As I listened to the 36th minute of this engaging podcast, I felt a wave of relief ripple through my body, as if a burden had been lifted…I stopped the car to listen to that 36th minute again : It makes a difference how we go out and, bizarrely, if enough of us - all of humanity - reaches the point of maturity of caring more about life and less about individual lifespan or our species survival and we find our peace with maybe living the end day of a relatively young species, then I think exactly in that point, we will find the maturity to develop the patterns that will take us into not dying an early death as a species.‘That's it', I said out loud. ‘This is the horizon I have been looking for: ‘patterns that will take us into not dying an early death as a species'.Which patterns?I was also touched by the notion of dying with dignity (how we go out), which is on my mind and in my spirit lately. Azul and I in Beacon Hill Park, Victoria, BC, September 23, 2024Wahl's notion of ‘finding peace as a relatively young species' came up during my conversation with Azul who kindly shared the 3rd type of hope in an upcoming publication by the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective of which she is a member: The hope in composting harm represents the idea of acknowledging that we are past several critical tipping points, and that substantial consensus is unlikely to happen and that we will inevitably have to confront the consequences of our harmful actions and the harmful actions of those who came before us, too. So this hope says that new possibilities will emerge only after we have been taught by the partial or general collapse of our current systems, which is what this person, Daniel was saying in the interview. So it's about visualizing a process in which we are left with no other choice but to transform our relationships with the planet, with other species and with each other, to metabolize and repair the harm we have caused, and collectively learn to coexist differently through the awareness that we are part of a wider metabolism that is bio intelligent.Later that day I mentioned this insightful 36th minute in the Wahl interview during my conscient podcast conversation with composer Kenneth Newby (e207 kenneth newby - living with grace) who said: The planet's not dying. Our place and our version of it may be dying. So how do we deal with that? How do we accept and live with the knowledge that our version of it is dying. It's not something to panic about in the sense that the whole thing's going away, hopefully. We don't know, but I think that notion of living with grace, living without fear, trying to live without anxiety, because those are just places where we flounder, shut off and develop toxic escapes. People will drink themselves and take whatever drugs they want to take to escape. My conversation with Kenneth reminded me of this quote from Adam Urban's ‘10 Reasons Our Civilization Will Soon Collapse' that I used in my first a calm presence posting, called why? : my rationale for creating 'a calm presence' newsletter. I go back to it often:People have asked me, "If we're all doomed anyway, then what's the point of scaring people? Why not just let them live their lives?" It's a fair question. My answer is that the more people know about our predicament and start preparing for what's coming, the greater chance humanity has of surviving this century and creating sustainable societies in the distant future. I don't know if that's even possible. Perhaps we will pass so many climate tipping points that temperatures will rise high enough to snuff out life across the entire planet. Or perhaps after the population declines and the planet warms, new societies will spring up in places like Greenland and Antarctica. They won't be societies that use fossil fuels, so they will likely be much simpler and more connected to the Earth. Maybe these societies will learn from our mistakes and take better care of nature—and each other. If there's any chance that a future like that is possible, then we should do everything we can to make it happen. The first step is to inform people about what's happening, and the second step is to help them prepare.Why does any of this matter? Reality.why? https://acalmpresence.substack.com/p/whyMy experiences on September 23rd reminded of advice dharma teacher Catherine Ingram offered me in July 2023 that inspired the creation of a calm presence:Yes, there's a point in going on. It is to be here for others who are not as strong or clear as you and who will be frightened and in need of a calm presence.But how does one achieve and maintain ‘a calm presence'?I found some answers in this except from Yin Paradies' September 25, 2024 Facebook posting drawn from the Intercultural Communication Handbook.Sensing, attending and being patient requires slowing down, pausing, and taking time to listen, look, feel and learn. Seeking to activate and use all our senses to relate as part of the world. This involves learning through relationships, through actions and through careful attention, not just through asking questions and talking a lot. Being patient and humble enables recognition of the myriad of messages that humans and non-human beings are always sending out.Note: for more on Yin's work see e193 yin paradies - interweaving everything with everything else or on Yin's YouTube channel.I was struck by this sentence in particular : Learning through relationships, through actions and through careful attention, not just through asking questions and talking a lot.There's a lot to consider in his words for a podcaster who spends a lot of time and effort talking and asking questions!The timing of this  is good because I'm taking a break now from both conscient podcast and a calm presence for a few months as I prepare season 6 - which I think is necessary - exploring arts and culture in times of crisis and collapse. I'll be doing that collaboratively and co-creatively with those who are interested in joining me. To summarize, I feel privileged to have received a generous offering through the above quotes that I have presented to you today. For me, all of this comes down to: listening and co-creating. To listen and co-create. I would like to thank those I have quoted and their kin. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODES Hey conscient listeners, Thanks for your presence. Season 5 of this podcast is now completed. I'll be back with season 6 on art and culture in times of crisis and collapse (see trailer for details) sometime in 2025.
