Seems like they're just sending it. |

Extreme Veteran 543 South Orange | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Yeah I got that email too and it says it should be arriving June 11. How much is in a case though? Seems like a lot of drink mix to me for 2 months of training. |

Master 1471 Dunedin | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread PennState - 2010-05-26 8:28 PM Hey anybody have a 100 miler ride this weekend. It's getting to be that time o' year  I do! It's 120+ miles from Binghamton, NY to Sandy Pond, NY (so from the NY/PA border to Lake Ontario). I'm stoked about the ride! Not stoked about getting around Syracuse without becoming road kill.  |

I couldn't tell if there was a place to confirm that we would want some to try it. I'm game! |

Am I missing something here? Are they sending a powder that is equivalent to a case? Are they sending coupons? |

Extreme Veteran 543 South Orange | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I think it is odd too - but the email said a case should be at our houses by June 11. |

Its probably a case worth in powder form......yeah, that would cost a lot to ship....way too much. though for Nestle, a very small chunk of their advertising budget.....we'll see!

| Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread My swim workout yesterday was 9 X 500 meters for 4500m. Tomorrow's Main Set is 30 X 100m with only 15" Rest. They better have the defriblilator charged and ready to go! This Training is crazy!!! But I kind of like it in a sadomasochistic way! |

This is what I ate yesterday, no lie: HALF of a homemade chocolate cream pie yesterday, two bananas, three Rice Krispie treats, a clif bar, a yogurt smoothie, sweet & salty nut bar, three pork chops and apple sauce!! small bag of potatoe chips, handfull of pretzels, turkey sandwich, two tall glasses of orange juice, two bowls of mini wheats with 2% milk, sweet potatoes, a gel before my swim, a protein shake after, a Red Bull cola, and a package of hostess yellow cupcakes. I'm amazed I'm not in a diabetic coma... and the scale only had me up by like half a pound. |

How much is in a case though? Seems like a lot of drink mix to me for 2 months of training. i doubt it is a case of mix. it'll be (12) or (24) 20 ounce bottles, most likely When Gatorade Endurance first came out they sent me about 20 coupons each for free bottle of GE for some race I was doing. Seems like the coupon route would be easier way and cheaper way to handle it depending on how wide the product launch and distribution will be to start. First gone is Gatorade swim then gone Gatorade Endurance on the course as in IMSG and looks like this may be the new drink offered on the course. If folks train with it giving away a case isn't much compared to how much folks will use in training. |

Extreme Veteran 543 South Orange | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Dreamchaser - its good that you are eating healthy foods mixed in with the processed stuff  Question, if Gartorade is out, who is watching our gear after checkin Saturday? All the information stated that representatives from Gatorade will be on hand to watch our gear? Should I bring a bike lock now? |

Extreme Veteran 596 Worcester, MA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Hey, I just read that.. does this mean Gatorade is out for use on the course.. I use Infinit, but I know what to expect from Gatorade. 58 days notices seems pretty crappy for something this big in-terms of a lot of nutrition training and planning. Even if it IS free, it sucks that they would do this. |
