This article was in both these places. This excerpt below was taken from the sub-headed section called “Rich’s bag of Tricks”, he also outlines the nutrition intake (including sodium phosphate) for the week before an Ironman.
Loading with sodium phosphate (PhosFuel). Sodium phosphate acts as an acid buffer, reduces the build up of lactic acid, and thus increases the body's tolerance for lactic acid. [It also enhances offloading of oxygen from hemoglobin to muscle tissue. – Jeff Roberts]
