With a long endurance event like Quest 12/24 you will not get away with it, if you have a bad nutrition plan, or worse have no plan in place then best case you will suffer badly for hours and worst case might not even be able to finish. In your average adventure race if you don’t hydrate or fuel properly then you won’t perform optimally, you’ll be sluggish, you’ll be tired on the last run, you might have to walk a bit, you might not feel too good in the later stages of it….but chances are that you’ll get away with it, the race is only a few hours and you’ll put it down to a bad sleep, the drive to the race, going too hard on the steep bit, going too hard on the bike or whatever.
