Dlaxman31, you being in MD, know anywhere I can get some? (No time/patience/time coordination to order online).
Fleet Feet in Gaithersburg carries the lemon lime flavor (at least they did ~1 month ago ). Edited to say that I never really noticed a taste difference between that and normal gatorade. It all depends on how its mixed, really.
I think regular Gatorade tastes a lot more sugary than GE, which has twice the sodium of regular Gatorade. I think that offsets the sugar taste for me.
I buy GE at the local running store; you can also get it at Gatorade.com or Amazon.
On the IMC course they had regular Gatorade instead of GE and I think it contributed to my hydration issues. The orange "G" tasted awful and I drank more straight water than I should. I generally hate orange anything, but this stuff as more disgusting than usual, and the blue stuff was just as bad, and don't even think about the red. I also failed to up my electrolyte consumption to compensate for the lower sodium I was getting from the water and the G instead of GE.
