Have you read into the arguments against replacing what you spend during exercise, you can't do it, your body won't take it and it ends up working against you. Your body works in fight or flight mode and is not processing and absorbing foods to the level where it can process back in 800 calories. Furthermore your body stores more than 800 calories worth of glycogen so in the end i maybe burned a 1000 calories during this race and put in 300 calories from heed so I burned all my stores and my body had the calories it needed from the heed when it hit empty.
You might be right, but it's contradictory towards what I've read.
