vomiting to get rid of the material that cannot be
used.
You should refuel your body at the rate at which it
can absorb the fuel, not at the rate you are burning
fuel. The two are seldom balanced during your day,
including when you are on a mud run.
Assuming that you have pre-fueled your body and
your run is less than an hour, you can get through it
with the water stations along the way. Those 4-6 oz.
cups are usually available every mile, giving you 1624 ounces in a four mile race. The electrolytes and
calories can be replenished at the finish line with a
couple of pieces of fruit and a small bag of peanuts.
But if this is a longer 6, 8, or 12 mile run like the
Savage®, Spartan®, or Tough Mudder®, then you
might find the need to carry a little fuel with you on
