After reading about the success so many of you have had with Infinit Nutrition I decided to give it a try. I noticed a huge difference in my energy levels on my longer rides (>2.5 hours) and I was no longer bonking. It made my nutrition plan easy and I have been able to execute it by simply drinking a bottle an hour. The problem is I am cheap and on a recent 5+ hour ride I spent more than $12 bucks on nutrition. I know that really isn't much, but as I ramp up my volume for Ironman training it will start to add up. This got me thinking about alternative options and the possibility of creating my own mix. I know Infinit uses multiple carbohydrate sources, but I have also read about people having good luck with maltodextrin. I still like the idea of having a completely liquid nutrition plan and so far it has worked well for me. So, I know I need to add some sort of electrolyte blend to the mix. Is it as simple as adding a tablet or two of Nuun to each bottle? I also found this article which outlines a very inexpensive recipe http://articles.latimes.com/...ports-drink-20120526

Let me know what you think as I am still willing to pay for the price of Infinit, but I want to make sure it is really worth the cost...
