How to fit everything on the bike for a race

I’m doing a half IM and was just wondering how people fit everything they need on a bike. I’m a pretty decently sized guy and from my experiences, I need to fuel quite a bit but I only have two bottle cages and my saddle bag has my repair stuff.

Granted I didn’t really use many gels, on my long rides I finished my electrolyte bottle about 1.5 hrs into the ride (and the other bottle being water).

Would I make extra mixes in a ziploc bag and refill this with water and a mix at an aid station or generally what do people do? I was thinking of getting a top tube bag to put these premade mixes or a saddle bag that can also hold a bottle perhaps
