About

Race Fuel Timer turns your race nutrition plan into a glanceable, hands-free coach. Data fields can't read buttons, so it works on a schedule: set your gel and drink cadence once, then just run. THE HERO: a big countdown to your NEXT GEL. When it hits zero, the screen flips to a bold "GEL — TAKE NOW" alert and your watch vibrates. Then the timer cycles automatically to the next one. No tapping, no math. WHAT YOU SEE - NEXT GEL: large countdown (mm:ss) plus your gel cadence ("every 25 min"). - DRINK: a second countdown in blue for your hydration interval. - CARBS: your live carbohydrate rate in g/h, computed from your plan. - Bottom line: elapsed time, gels taken, fluid taken (L) — all on one line. PRESETS (one tap) - Marathon, Ultra, Triathlon, HYROX, or Custom. Each preset sets your gel interval, drink interval, carbs per gel and drink volume. Pick Custom to dial in your own numbers. FUELING ALERTS - Vibration + tone when a gel is due (a strong buzz) and when a drink is due (a short double-tap). Each fires once per cycle, never flutters. Turn alerts off any time. FIT RECORDING - Your cumulative carbohydrate intake (g) is written into the activity FIT file, so you can review your fueling alongside pace and heart rate in Garmin Connect after the race.
