I've noticed a problem on my last few half marathons. Although I may feel hungry, drinking a sugared sports drink or eating a small energy bar or gel has produced gas and gut spasms a half hour later. I should be able to make it through a half marathon without snacks or sports drink, although a little salt is important to help prevent hyponatremia. The race provided Nuun no-carb drink, but I decided to skip that as I hadn't trained with it. Many races provide little salt packets like you see at fast food outlets. I could bring my own and have a little salt with my water in the second half of the race.
