A person needs to learn how to drink and how to eat. If one wishes to go beyond 10ks consistently, one will need to learn this skill. This is coming from somebody who knows the feeling.
I can job 13 without drink but it would feel better to race it with such stuff. And my main failing in Ironmen is nutrition. I typically bonk at the end of the bike.
