The bunch you posted on FB merely succeeded in cranking up TW and I for our trip to NC/SC/Ga this October. Scouting for a possible Chattanooga course? ;-) |

Master 9706 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by bcraht Originally posted by cdban66 (S)witch, real food for me equals either Honey, which I carry in a tube or Fig Newtons. Bento box to carry either when I train, but I may experiment with the single pocket in my tri suit (which came in last night) to see if it'll work better. I may try Twizzlers during an upcoming Saturday group ride, just for a change of pace. I have done Gummy Bears and Swedish fish on those rides, but I'm not sure how "Real" they are I also love Hammer Gels, but they are faker then Pamela Anderson. Ooooh, slammed Hammer Gels and a Canadian in one fell swoop! Ouch! Hammer seems to be the product my body will tolerate...apparently they are a slower digesting carb (maybe because they are fake??) I was curious so I looked this up. I've been using Hammer because that's what's on course at B2B and I plan to live off the course for the run. Left to my own devices, I generally prefer the Gu flavors and smaller packaging size but I do like the Apple Cinnamon Hammer when it's hot out. Hammer Gel = Maltodextrin, water, depends on flavor Gu Gel = Maltodextrin, water, fructose Powerbar gel = Dual Source Energy Blend (maltodextrin, fructose), water Honey stinger = tapioca syrup, honey, water Breakdown of sugar composition typical to honey (from wikipedia) Fructose: 38.2%Glucose: 31.3% Maltose: 7.1% Sucrose: 1.3% Water: 17.2% |

Monica, I know how type A attorneys can be (with all due rescpect to those in the Manatees). I'm glad you have a good group. I just might have to try the MTB option if the roads don't get cleaned up quickly. |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl Happy Friday Eve Manatees! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the new avvys that are floating around right now! I was having the crappiest day yesterday and feeling quite out of sorts when out of the blue one of the lawyers I work with sent me a $50GC to Amazon to thank me for all the great work I've been doing. You have NO idea how much this meant to me and pretty much made me tear up since I've worked with a lawyer before who would throw things at me (including a stapler), punch walls, punch cupboards, yell at me, yell at clients over the phone and even tried to argue with me that dog fighting is a legitimate sport. I lost ANY AND ALL respect for the man after that one. I found out a couple months ago that he's left the legal field completely and now manages a couple of MMA fighters. Seems fitting, no? Anyhoooo - the short version of the above is that I've never had the situation I'm in now, with someone actually appreciating the work I've done, and it almost brought me to tears - but in a good way. If someone I worked with threw anything at me - not in jest- it would have returned to him or her with double the force! Or at least that is what I would want to do |

From wikipedia: "maltodextrin is such a highly processed ingredient that the majority of the protein is removed, rendering it effectively gluten-free." Like I mentioned before, I am a fan of their stuff and you are on point, the Apple-Cinnamon is a win. Montana Huckleberry hits me just right as well. If I didn't use honey, I'd probably get the jug of Apple-Cinnamon Hammer though. |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by Muskrat37 Hey Hey Hey Manatees! I finished watching the TDF last night... what an awesome race. I was soooo totally rooting for Quintana to take 2nd. What an awesome story. Kid that grows up poor in a 3rd world country in his 1st tour, wins the "last" stage, wins KOM, wins best young rider and 2nd place overall. Talk about a feel good story. I guess I'm a bit of a sap. Been reading and following along with the nutrition stuff. Personally, I keep it pretty simple: 1 bottle of water for ever bottle of sports drink. Powerbars - love the choices I have. If I'm feeling fruity - no problem. If I want a cookie - no problem. If I want chocolate - no problem. Besides the flavors - I like them because it's easy to track my calorie intake. Oh yeah - almost forgot. I ESCAPED MY SH*TTY JOB!!! (Just got the offer today) I start my new job on 8/12. I can't wait. I will make about 2 1/2 times what I make now - I work from home - set my own schedule and from what I've learned about this boss - he is way cool and not a micro manager. I'm very excited. Congratulations on the new job! What will you be doing? |

If I didn't use honey, I'd probably get the jug of Apple-Cinnamon Hammer though. All the gel like stuffs have a tendency to make me sick. I have, however, been able to tolerate the honey stingers when i only consume about 1/2 the packet at a time. I also use powerbars - brownie is the bomb! In the past I played around with Uncrustables and must say on a long bike they really hit the spot. I didn't do so well with them in my first HIM because I don't think I digested them properly, so when i hit the run I was not happy. I also didn't get enough calories on the bike (only ate 1 of the uncrustables and mainly had water for the remainder of the ride), so my nutrition was an epic fail! |
