AB  - The aim of the study was to investigate the pre- and during-race nutritional 
      intake of cyclists competing in a 210-km 1-day ultraendurance cycle race. 
      Forty-five endurance-trained male cyclists participated in this dietary survey 
      and completed a 3-day dietary record. Mean reported carbohydrate (CHO) intake 
      over the 3 days before the race (5.6 +/- 1.7 g/kg) was below the recommended 
      guidelines of 7-10 g/kg. Although 57% of participants indicated that they CHO 
      loaded 1-3 days before the race, only 23% of these participants achieved CHO 
      intakes of > or =7 g/kg over the 3-day period before the race, demonstrating a 
      discrepancy between perceived and actual intakes of CHO. Most participants 
      indicated the use of CHO supplements before (84%) and during (98%) the race and 
      achieved a CHO intake of 63 +/- 23 g/hr during the race. Although most cyclists 
      failed to meet recommended prerace CHO intakes, most achieved the recommended CHO 
      intakes during the race.
