Right but that is thing, this is salt for crying out loud. It is not like it is something I just made up:
"Jacked"
- Increase FTP by 60 watts
- Increase Recovery Ability
- Have better sex etc
Athletes are going to need salt and other basic ingredients unless Ironman loosens up their policy on littering and we bring back bananas
I had a coach say the way he got salt during a race was to eat wheat thins. So, no salt tablets for me, I just ate wheat thins. Or crackers and pretzels on the run.
Sorry, these stories just get old after a while. And these are pro's leading by example? Not for me.
Have you checked the ingredients? Wait, you eat a Denny's a lot.....so go figure....
