Ironman bike - swollen stomach - Please Help!!!!
by rosequirie » Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:59 pm
Hi, can anyone please help, I am attempting an Ironman in 3 weeks having failed a previous attempt 3 years ago as my stomach swelled (looked 8 mths pregnant!) after the bike which I think was wind but still very painful. Tried 100 miles on bike yesterday and same thing happened can anyone please offer any advice on how to overcome this problem, I don't think I am the only one who suffers from this? MT A :

what is your nutrition strategy, and is your bike position one you are comfortable with? it sounds like you are either swallowing air or getting a stomach reaction to something.

I'm with ris, it's probably nutrition/hydration.
2010: White Horse Challenge, Dragon Ride, RoW Sprint, IM UK 70.3, Eastnor Castle Middle Distance, IM UK: All boxes ticked
2011: Now to go faster. Then IronMan Wales came along, so the speedwork can wait until 2012
