  5. Fill your 500ml Maurten bottles with room temp water to the level mark.

  7. The morning of CTCT wake up and have a very light breakfast such as a banana or toast. On your way to the start eat the other half of your Solid 160.
  8. While waiting for your batch to start have one Gel 160.
  9. When the race starts, settle into a rhythm and start sipping on the Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 bottle. This will set you up for the first 40km.
  10. At 30km you should have finished the Drink Mix 320 CAF 100 bottle and you now take a Gel 100.
  11. Every 10km from now on, take a Maurten Gel alternating with Gel 100 CAF 100 and Gel 100/160.
  12. Continue to sip the Drink Mix 160 while remembering to save some for the last km’s.
  13. As you approach the last 10km, you will now be fully loaded with the full compliment of the carbs prescribed for the CTCT and you can sprint home.
  14. You can eat your Solid 160 as a post race meal to put in the carbs your body needs to aid recovery.
  15. Hydrate with water for the rest of the day.
  16. All the best and good luck.
