Subject: RE: Question on using Perpetuem for IM Guys, today I did my last long ride before the IM and I used a 2hrs bottle Perpetuem with 150gr powder in it. I frozen it yesterday night, went out and start using it at 2nd hr mark. Great taste! No issue at all and my stomach did not react at all without any noise or the tipical effects after eating bars or gels on the bike. I was wondering if I was taking calories enough! Definetely I will prepare a 3hrs bottle for the race and ask the hotel at the venue to freeze it for me. Then I will take it in the morning at the reception, put it in the portable fridge box and keep it cool in the transition area until I wear the neoprene for starting the race. It should last 3-4hrs without any problem. The resting 2-3hrs race: 1st hr just water and a gel, 5th hr 3x hammer gel and the remaining of the 6th hr still a gel plus gatorade On sunday I will try Perpetuem at breakfast and see... |
