My Strawberry banana Power Gel was not enough in between run and swim. At the end of the swim my tummy was growling so loud I thought it was sending shock waves through the pool. I got some weird looks. Anywho, energy stayed with me throughout the swim.

I have had an AMAZING training day. Hoping the energy sticks with me for the next two days, they will just as challenging.
