No gels or bottles to mess around with, and I didn't run out of steam on the day (despite early start and corresponding lack of opportunity for significant breakfasting).
Good luck!
Cheers. Just picked up some Go, so will try a slightly weaker than recommended mix in today's session and see how it feels, but if anything that will be just to supplement the gels, so I only need 1, or 2 if I'm struggling.

Yep, hence my planned timings in the first post
