Did anyone race using Mortal today?
I tried a small sample in the IM tent before the race and the fake sweetner taste was overpowering.
So I didn't touch the stuff on the run.
Never noticed it on the bike, but I was mostly just getting waters to clean up my inadvertent gel bottle explosion out of t1 (sticky bars for 90km, yay!).
For reference the aid station flow was something like, they had water, ice, Gatorade, Mortal, more water and ice. Never noticed Coke, but I'm sure it was there.
The volunteers called out "electrolytes!" for the cups of Mortal.
My personal nutrition/electrolyte mix lasted the whole run for me. Plus I made the maurten move and came back with 5 extra gels...
Any positive stories with Mortal? I did see some dudes leeching a massive amount of salt through their kit. The other problem I see, is even if you get past the Stevia, I don't think you're getting enough salt in the small cups on the run from a single table at the aid stations. Not that I want more tables of it...
