    Are aero bars essential for Ironman Galway, and Triathlons in general?

    tasty anyway...a bit lighter than a yorkie. 5 or 6 will set you up nicely...good sugar rush

    All joking aside a friend of mine ran Dublin last October and another friend was giving him drinks and food out on the course (getting point to point on a bike). Anyway he consumed 4 Wispa bars during the marathon. He didn't feel great after number 3 though.

    "Essential" - I'm not so sure but is it a good idea to get them? I'd say yes.

    A: You'll conserve more energy , save on crucial wattage over the 70.3 distance.
    B: You have the option to get comfortable if your arms/shoulders ache.
    C: You'll also get more aero.
