Master  2151    Johns Creek, Georgia |  Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSEDSo for those that are making nutrition bottle using water and gels - are you using a regular size bike bottle? And how many gels are you adding? 6, 7, 8? And, how long does that bottle last if you're drinking water or some other sports drink along with it? Would that bottle last the entire long workout? |

As said above I did a 4.5 hour ride with 4500ft of climbing. I used s 24 oz bottle and added 8 Hammer Gels and filled the rest with water. The onlysolid I eat was one Bonk Breaker bar 1/2 the bar at 1hr and the other 1/2 of the bar at 3 hrs. I drank Perform the first 2 hrs and gatorade the last 3hrs. for a total of 5 24oz hydaration bottles |

Simply take a standard sized water bottle, add the number of gels you would normally consume for the dutration (start with one evry 45min like GU recomends) and mix with water. Before taking a drink, give the hbottle a good shake and drink it proportionaly so that 45min before the end of the ride it's done. And then have a second bottle with just water that you can refill. Leave the sport drink at home. |

Not sure which gels you use, but REI usually has good pricing. If you buy a certain amount (12 or more I think) you get 20% off. Their regular price before the discount is pretty competitive to begin with. |

Bryan why do you say leave the sport drink at home? Did you drink Perform during St. George? I am drinking Perform during training to get ready for Placid. I am curious as to why you say no sport drink? |

Bryan why do you say leave the sport drink at home? Did you drink Perform during St. George? I am drinking Perform during training to get ready for Placid. I am curious as to why you say no sport drink? I don't think sport drinks are very good for you in general. In training, I have moved away from using them and have found my energy levels are much more even using gels. Having said that, at IMSG I did grab a bottle of Perfrom late in the bike in case i wanted a few sips but never touched it. Then on the run I did have some Perfrom at aid staions just for variety. So it's fine for racing but I have made a choice to minimize it in my training. |

How did you fuel your run? Gel Flask? Yes, I carry a gel flask in my pocket and take a swig as I enter an aid station where I can grab water to wash it down. I try and do this for at least the first 8-10 miles but I get tired of it an begin to transition to water and cola. |
