Best Triathlon Nutritional Drink - 2007

I've used Powerade, Gatorade etc...

But I LOVE Endura.  The magnesium in it really helps with muscle cramps after big events or a long training session.   

For training and races, I just use good old fashioned Gatorade. I did try Gatorade Endurance in a race once and got sick. Of course, could have been the unrelenting hill climbs, not the drink, that made me sick.

For recovery, it's all about Endurox. I love the fruit punch, but avoid the lemon lime. That stuff is nasty!

x2.  Dan got me turned on to Nuun and I love it!  No sickly sweet feeling in the back of your throat like Gatorade.  It's light, tastes good, and has a lot fewer calories than a lot of the other energy drinks.  I even drink it sometimes when I am not training. 

We switched to Advocare.  Did great with Rehydrate on the bike at two Olympics this year.  Good source of electrolytes.

Also LOVE the Post-Workout Recovery.  Eliminated a lot of issues of feeling 'torn down' the day after.

This was a switch from Hammer Products.  We were both experiencing gas and cramping.  Tried the Endurox for recovery, but found it really sweet.  Also find Gatorade too sweet.  Do like Accelerade and do like Nuun.

x3 Great because of what it doesn't have, no strange colors, heavy flavors or sugar.  Simply the best option for fluid and electrolyte replacement, plus the tabs are great because they are portable.
