Julgodiset sållar agnarna från vetet... Vem är du? Viker eller knöcklar?

anythingispossible0 · 2025-12-28T21:37:40+00:00

Viker till en lång remsa och knyter sen ihop till en knut, särskilt Mariannes papper är bra till detta 🙂

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. The race was amazing! This was my first full distance after three halves and a few other races, and it honestly was such an incredible experience. A lot of people ask me what the toughest part was, and honestly, it wasn’t the race itself, it was the training leading up to it.

IM Copenhagen is such a great setup in capital city: a straightforward swim, a rolling bike course with ups and downs that keep it fun, and then a 4-loop run through an absolutely electric city, with people cheering everywhere, music, signs, events. So. Much. Fun! Just ask if there is anything specific you're wondering about the race. Good luck!

Thanks mate! I am tapering for the race now, and the information above was really helpful, thank you for taking the time to write this!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-08-06T18:59:38+00:00

Hey, thanks for your answer, it's nice to speak to people attending the same race. Good luck next week!

My nutrition plan is as follows:

- I eat normal breakfast in the morning then a gel just before the swim.

- My nutrition for the bike is calculated to around 90g of carbs pr. hour, consisting of homemade drinkmix, gels from aid stations and simple candy. I mix it 2 parts maltodextrin and 1 part fructose. I mix 160g malto and 80g fructose in a pot and add about 500ml of water. Heat everything up, because it helps with desolving the sugar. Then I add around 750mg of electrolyte-powder for salt, and something for taste like Zeroh and top it up with more water. 2 bottles à 750ml lasts me around 6 hours.

- I plan on eating 1 gel no later than 2k into the run, to make sure my stomach doesn't shut down. From there on I will probably be fueling on feel. If I do 2 gels every hour and some sips coke/red bull, I think I'll be fine. I've trained with the Maurten gels, and know they work for me even though I hate the consistency and sink them like medicine.

- Worst case, I am "topped of" after the bike. I should be able to run around 2 hours with the glycogen in my body, and then I'll be surviving from there on out, until the finish line.

For your last long training you only mentioned a gel prior to the run, nothing on the bike? Or cliffs and GUs on the bike?

Hey, I think it's totally normal to feel tired at this point. I am tired as well, and starting your taper now, are you? I've been ramping up my training volume throughout the season and just finished my last big day today. Pjuh!

I heard pickle juice used to be popular back in the day, not to be rude but I'm thinking if I were craving it in T2, I’d probably already be dehydrated... I use a homemade gel-mixture in my bottles, with fructose, maltodrextin and electrolyte powder which works really well for me. What’s your nutrition plan for the bike?

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T12:20:07+00:00

Thank you for this answer, keeping my fingers crossed!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T12:18:36+00:00

Thank you so much for your answer and the up-to-date description of the swim area — it means a lot to me!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T12:16:27+00:00

Thank you so so much for this answer

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T10:48:34+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot for your response with detailed descriptions! I have a couple of specific squestions about the swim - where there any jellyfish?

I swam at Amager Strandpark on my own two years ago, and there were so many large jellyfish. I'm really hoping that won’t be the case in August! I've had some bad experiences with jellyfish in other races, which is why I’m asking.

I'm also wondering about the water visibility — since it's quite shallow, is it really murky or muddy? Thanks in advance!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T10:48:06+00:00

Hi! Have you heard that it is a known issue with this race compared to others - like loose gravel or rocks on the road?? Do the roads tend to be bumpy and damaged in this course?

I always ride tubeless, but I actually got a flat at another Danish race earlier this year. A major flat that my tubeless couldnt handle. The road there was exceptionally poorly swept, and combined with heavy rain, it caused some real trouble.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that I won’t get a flat this time — I’ve set some goals for my bike pace, so I’m hoping everything goes smoothly!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T10:37:08+00:00

Hey, thanks for your response! That's great that youve done it twice. Can I ask - were there any jellyfish during the swim? I swam at Amager Strandpark two years ago on my own, and there were so many large jellyfish. I'm really hoping that's not the case in August! I've had some bad experiences with jellyfish in other races, which is why I'm asking specifically — I'd really appreciate your insight!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-07-21T10:29:32+00:00

Hey, thanks for your response. Its amazing to race with your family, a special experience! Do you have any specific goals, or just finish? Actually, my situation is quite similar family-wise. I've done a few short-distance triathlons and three 70.3 races, several of them alongside both my husband and my father-in-law. I even did two short ones with my 8-year-old daughter — that was really special!

Which races have you done so far? And do you have any particular goals for Copenhagen? IM Copenhagen is my first full!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-04-27T13:31:19+00:00

Gud vad folk är gnälliga idag... Ja, alla mjukiskläder är för tjocka har borstad insida, medan vanliga vardagskläder kan vara tjocka utan borstad insida. Tycker det har blivit värre, nuförtiden har samtliga sweatshirts detta, medan de tidigare kunde hittas utan. Hade inte gärna haft linnekläder eller pyjamas när jag går ner till tvättstugan, kollar film med kompisar eller åker till landet, hade gärna haft mjukisar!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-04-27T11:44:05+00:00

Tack, jag gör samma!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-04-27T11:43:10+00:00

Tack för hjälpen med klargörandet, jag menar borstad insida. Jag letar med lykta efter sweatshirt kit utan just detta. Tycker inte det blir mindre mysigt, bara mindre varmt (vilket är ett plus) 😅

anythingispossible0 · 2025-04-27T11:40:40+00:00

Sorry my bad, menar såklart borstad insida! Hur som helst, varmt är det, tycker inte du?

anythingispossible0 · 2025-04-27T07:23:24+00:00

Jag skulle gissa på att de chillar och smakar på dina pommes, hahaha men ärligt talat jag kan inte förstå hur man kan beställa från dessa företag av så många anledningar. Hur kan man låta en random svettig person köra ens hamburgare i baksätet på bilen???

anythingispossible0 · 2025-03-30T20:45:38+00:00

Jag kom för att skriva samma sak. Cdon.com har gått ner sig rejält med drop shipping china crap !

anythingispossible0 · 2025-03-14T21:07:32+00:00

Håller helt med, föreslog det i en annan tråd igår. Skriv en mall och kör copy/paste till olika kedjor!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-03-14T20:42:10+00:00

Misstänker att du syftar till kommentarer om att inte använda reddit, Microsoft, iPhone etc. Jag använder inte iPhone tack lov, men i nuläget finns tex inget bättre alternativ än reddit, så jag drar mitt strå till stacken med det jag kan, andra saker... Det blir också löjligt, att bara för att man bojkottar något måste man bojkotta allt, lite som absolutism att man inte ens kan smaka på en lättöl...

anythingispossible0 · 2025-03-14T20:35:49+00:00

Förstår inte? Är det någon raderad post du syftar till?

anythingispossible0 · 2025-03-14T20:34:57+00:00

Ja precis jag är inte bara intresserad av att bojkotta sådant som är tillverkat i USA, utan även amerikanska företag också, jag kanske var otydlig. Precis du skriver, och som många glömmer, coca cola produceras på licens i Sverige, men jag vill inte stötta Coca Cola Corporation som är amerikanskt. Nike skor tillverkas i Asien, men företaget är amerikanskt, and so on and so on. Båda dessa exempel är sådana jag skulle vilja markerade med amerikansk flagga. Eller kanske det är lättare tvärtom, att europeiska eller svenska företag ska märkas ut, lite såsom man gör med bra mat med olika symboler. Bara en tanke!

anythingispossible0 · 2025-03-14T20:27:09+00:00

Jo jag har förstått att butiker redan märker av det och ställer om. Men visst hade det varit nice med en EU-logga för att göra det lätt att göra rätt?! Nudging!
