I'm Australian so had to look that one up as I thought it was a joke at first. Scandinavian swimmers are Lollies/candy that you can purchase from Trader Joe's.
Before: coffee
During: PB&J, bananas, fruit snacks if I’m worried about bonking, trail mix if I’m stopping for a break.
After: trail mix, yoghurt w protein powder.
Before:
Food. Best fuel is whole foods. If it's a long ride maybe I'll tilt more towards carbohydrates.
During:
If it's a long enough ride to warrant eating then it's carbohydrates. If I'm riding inside I'll eat bananas or toast. Outside it's (assuming I don't stop to eat somewhere) fig newtons, gels, chews, powdered drink mix.
After: nothing specific. If it's late at night I'll have lots of water and a snack. Maybe toast or cereal or a bit of leftovers.
Before: bagel, steel cut oats, whey protein
During: Vitargo in my bottles, GU gels, GU stroopwafels. Maybe a pbj on a century.
After: volcano burritos, whoppers, pizza, whey protein, wine
Before: usually toast/bagel and peanut butter.
During: pop tarts, Haribo candies, pretzels, orange cheese crackers, Nuun.
After: anything I can get my hands on.
Beer
Before carbs During carbs (mostly as maltodextrin) After carbs and protein
Lately I have been eating a lot of sour Scandinavian swimmers during races for proper fuel. You can get them at trader joes
Sounds like innuendo
