Drop Bag Fueling Plan

Place reserve bottles, mix, gels, and tabs by checkpoint after the overall session note, aid-station flow, and start carry already look believable.

This page is for course-side reserve placement, not medical advice or race-director instruction.

How to use

  1. Start after your bottle count, gel rhythm, and aid-station flow already look believable enough to race with.
  2. Enter how many drop bags exist, how far apart they are, and how much backup you want to keep alive late in the course.
  3. Review each bag as a reserve layer, not as a second copy of the full start pack.

      How to choose between nearby pages

      Use Session Fueling Plan when you still need one combined field note. Use Aid Station Fueling Plan when the remaining question is what happens at each station. Use Race Fueling Pack List when the remaining question is what the full inventory looks like from the start line. Use this page after that, when the remaining question is where each reserve item should wait on course. Use Crew Handoff Fueling Plan after drop-bag placement is already believable and the next question is what a support crew member should physically hand you at each access point.

      FAQ

      What does this page calculate?

      It turns race duration, fluid target, drop-bag count, spacing, start carry, mix, gels, tabs, and reserve margin into checkpoint-by-checkpoint drop-bag suggestions.

      When should I use this instead of Race Fueling Pack List?

      Use Race Fueling Pack List when the remaining question is what the full start and total inventory looks like. Use this page after that, when the remaining question is which reserve items should go into each drop bag on course.

      When should I use this instead of Aid Station Fueling Plan?

      Use Aid Station Fueling Plan when the open question is what happens at each station. Use this page after the station logic already looks believable and the open question is where reserve supplies should be placed between those stations.
