Kristen will discuss how to individualize your approach based on ride duration, intensity, and personal tolerance, taking the guesswork out of what and when to eat.
You’ll leave with clear, actionable strategies you can immediately apply to daily life, training, and race day to ride stronger and feel better doing it.
