Subject: RE: Gel packets or Gel threads There is already another thread going on about this. I assume your race is Redman? I prefer flasks because I hate tearing off the wrapper and trying to dispose of the trash properly. I can also dilute the gel down to my liking in the flask. If I were doing this race, whether I was planning to use a flask or bring my own gels...I'd plan on bringing everything I needed or putting it in special needs. The idea of trying to refill a flask at an aid station seems a bit gross and a bit silly at the same time. It's not that hard to bring your own flask and simply swap them out if you need to at special needs. Or do the same with your own gel packets. |
