Pro 4339 Husker Nation | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Yikes looks like I'm the only one who likes the PowerGels! Hammer is too thick for me, the vanilla powergel is my absolute stand-by [we have 3 cases of it in the pantry right now] because it reminds me of white frosting and it goes down nice and smooth. Tastes fine warm too. |

Expert 939 Newton, MA | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Honey Stingers are great. They taste like...well, honey. Which is a good thing. And honey is very easy to digest. Give them a try. |

Master 1281 Long Beach, CA | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 I love espresso Gu. Tastes good and has the caffeine I need before a race without the liquid volume of coffee. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 PowerGel, double electrolytes ... super for the long haul, less salt I have to carry. Can't beat the taste ... the vanilla tastes like coconut milk, and the raspberry cream tastes like a sweet little tart. |

Elite 4504 Columbus, Ohio | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 I do not like Hammer... The apple cinnimon is just plain nasty. They all are too thick and have a nasty after taste... maybe it is just me. I a fan of the PowerBar x4 Sodium. I also have had good experience with Cliff Shots and Cliff Shot Blocks. |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 I've tried PowerGel, Cliff Shots, Hammer gel and a few others. All of them made my stomach feel like I was running with a brick in it. The only gel I have consistently been able to stomach is Gu. It's a good texture and tastes good - I'm partial to the Vanilla Bean and Espresso Love flavors. |

Expert 878 Carmel | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Hammer Raspberry is the greatest, no stomach issues, and it goes down easy. Its not too sweet either, it tastes like a raspberry jam. Awesome. |

Champion 6931 Bellingham, Washington | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Accelerade Gel and drinks. Has the protein carb ratio. Plus it is tasty . |

| Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Espresso love and orange GU's are hands down the best. Cliff gels while decent tasting always leave sticky substance behind in the jersey pocket or car no matter how hard you try to squeeze that last little bit out.

Master 1553 Elm Grove | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 MForger18 - 2007-12-19 8:53 AM Hammer Raspberry is the greatest, no stomach issues, and it goes down easy. Its not too sweet either, it tastes like a raspberry jam. Awesome. I too am a huge fan of the Rasberry. That being said, I received a couple of gift cards to a LBS and plan on using it all on a variety of gels to find what I like the best since my HIM plan starts after the 1st. |

Master 1284 Victoria BC | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 I use the Gu chocolate outrage. The best I have found for something I like the taste of. It is just like a nice bit of chocolate pudding. |

Elite 2863 | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Gotta give props to Hammer Gel. Having a very sensitive stomach, Hammer products are the only products I can handle on long training days. |

Veteran 246 western iowa, almost nebraska. | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 I used power gel and really liked the taste of the vanilla, but had issues over long distances. Used on a century ride and they seemed to cause some stomach issues, and bonked really hard after the stomach issue. Later I was told the issue was the simple sugar intake from the powergels???? I switched to hammergel rasberry, and have found them to work much better for my body type. I don't have issues over the long excursions, and even though it is THICK! Just take it with water and all is good. |

Veteran 422 St. Louis | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 PowerGel with electrolytes. I like the taste of Hammer Raspberry the best, but I'd rather have the electrolytes in the powergels. GU is way too sweet and thick for me. |

Master 1748 Port Moody, BC | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Someone would make a lot of $$ if they could make a gel that was easier to get into and wasn't so sticky. Also a good bar tape cleaner. Everything is sooooo sticky! |

Which is a good thing. And honey is very easy to digest. Give them a try. x2 I agree that they taste great and are easily digested. I like that they are simple and natural. |

Master 1811 Nashville, TN | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 I used both hammer gel and gu but I typically dilute each one in my flask with either some water or gatorade. But I like a lot of flavors just no chocolate chris  |

Master 1831 Keller Tx | Subject: RE: Best Triathlon Nutritional Gu/Gel - 2007 Hammer. switched from Power gel, simply because I hated ripping all those packages open to fill my flask. |
