Interesting article here for the tri training posse. Basically: shovel down 4 grammes of carbs per pound of bodyweight and after an initial puff-out you become a lean mean hyper-fuelled training machine. Most endurance athletes are wretched starvelings, it seems.

Or else you're just one more person that guy really doesn't have to worry about on race day, because you weigh 20 stone, can't reach your shoelaces during transition, and had to add steel struts to your bike wheels to keep them from collapsing under you.
Though at the very least you should make an image to go with "I can haz whole trey of apple piez plz? I r triafflete."
