What is the shotblow for - do I do this during the bike or before?

What is the gum for ?  the same reason above?

Thanks!

P. S - yes already did the open water swim.  I freaked out a little but after a few minutes made myself calm down and I was good to go.

ShotBloks are something to eat.  They just help keep your energy up  

You could probably make it through a sprint tri or half marathon without eating anything, but I'd rather have a little pick me up waiting for me after the swim.  (I hate swimming  lol)  

ShotBloks are made by the same people who do ClifBars and you should be able to get them at a sports store like ***'s.  I like them to eat on the bike because they're like gummi bears or jelly beans but with all the sodium and carbs of a packet of gu.  Some types of ShotBloks even come with added caffeine.
