Subject: InfiniT during a 50K?
I was talking to a friend last weekend who recommended I carry a bottle of Infinit druing my 50K. I don't eat anything and live off the course during marathons, so is that extra five miles going to make that much of a difference?

I understand if it were a 50-miler or more, but a 50K? I just nodded and smiled.

Tony... ultras are a totally different animal..   they tend to be slower and a bit harder..   A marathon is one consecutive effort,  an ultra is NOT..    I did my first 50K in almost 7 hours (lots of elevation),  so I would not depend only on what you carry.  Check out what are they going to have on the aid stations,  they are usually very plentiful.   One bottle of infinit would not do much after two hours or so unless you carry powder to replenish it.
