Race Fuel Timer: Hydration, Gels, Carbs
· v1.0.0
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.
