Yes - it's ok. But to be fair I my first/only one in the middle of an Ironman run and my gag reflex activated. I bet I'd enjoy it a lot more on a normal training day.

I'm trying to figure out why I wouldn't just eat salted caramel.

Amazing.

Taste like a melted caramel cube, not much of a salt flavor thought

Or, why not "Salted Nut Roll" flavor?  Now that would be a seller!

Yep, it's my new favorite flavor. Had it during the LOTOJA bike race and it was heaven.

How dare you question the monopoly of the sports-"nutrition"-industrial-complex? Bow to your convenience packaging overlords!

I had some during Chequamegon. Tasty. I like PB better, but still, not bad. I'm more of a HammerGel fan for racing, though, b/c it's a better consistency...but it's not bad, flavor-wise.

My wife (a 2x Ironman and 15x marathoner) LOVES salted caramel ice cream (I can't stand it), and she LOVES this Gu.

The bike shop I went to this weekend only had boxes of 8 and no singles so I bought a box. I hope I like it, but I imagine I will! My husband shook his head, with the exact same reaction as Left Brain.

Perhaps you, too, have wondered about the role of salt, or more correctly, sodium (the part of salt associated with high blood pressure) in your diet. This article can help you figure that out.

I am training for my first IM and lately I have been getting cramps in my calves. I am a heavy salt sweater and I was wondering if that has anything to do with it?
