Apparently in the volunteer meetings for IMTX it was stated that the on-course hydration would be Mortal Hydration and not Gatorade Endurance. That info has not been reflected for the various race specific websites yet but people have posted screenshots on Facebook from the volunteer meeting for IMTX.
The first two races are in two weeks at Oceanside 70.3 and Galveston (Texas 70.3). The athlete guides both just mention the generic "Electrolyte Drink."
A) Who has ever heard of Mortal Hydration?, and B) Mortal Hydration has more sodium than Gatorade Endurance but nowhere near the carbs or calories (40 cal/24 ounces vs 180 cal/24 ounces).
Also, those two 70.3 races are in two weeks and IMTX is in five weeks. People haven't trained with Mortal Hydration. Someone relying on the on-course nutrition and have game planned for Gatorade Endurance has to pivot to something else they've never tried and has nowhere near the same level of calories and carbs.
Anyone know anything?
