Subject: RE: Race fuel-what do you use? frozen pizza slices or pop tarts are what i carry on race day.
ha! i wish......
i think this is a matter of personal preference. I used gatorade for a while and found i was burping it up..... then i made my own mix of water downed orange juice with some salt in it and a touch of honey and that seemd to work on the bike. I try to eat some solids now like a 1/4 of a banana or raisons (which are small and pack full of instant power ).... i am much more a naturalist and really don't buy into the powerbar/ gatorade stuff.... but then again i am not doing this professionally i do it to be fit.
i find that after my workouts/ and i have yet to try this at the end of a race, i drink alot of water but add a heaping teaspoon of Spirulina to it....this brinks me right back to form and like i haven't even taxed myself out there, even after a 30 minute run at full 85% THR.
