Just got the latest email update from race director, and it states the following
A note about gels... We do NOT allow gels on course. This is due to strict rules in the local, State and National Parks where we swim, bike, and run. We do allow more solid items such as Energy Chomps and Energy Bars, but there is NO LITTERING on course and if you are caught, you are subject to a disqualification. Please help us keep San Francisco clean so they will continue to allow up to hold this race in their beautiful city.
Now, I have always used gels, so I guess I better try something else for this race.....
Or, do they really keep strict eye on gel use????
