When discussing race day nutrition it is important to understand the energy requirements. The average athlete expends approximately 100 calories per mile during a marathon. During a triathlon, the athlete expends approximately 500 to 1000 calories on the swim, 3,000 to 4,000 calories on the bike, and 2,500 to 3,000 calories on the run. Wow! That is some serious energy expenditure.
To determine the number of calories burned while biking in a triathlon, multiply the number of miles ridden by your weight in pounds and multiply that result by 0.25. If you weigh 160 pounds, you can expect to burn 994 calories during the bicycling portion of an International Distance triathlon or 4,480 calories during an Ironman triathlon.
