I've been using Infinit in both training and racing for the past four or so years. I've decided that this year I'll use the on-course Gatorade and supplement with gels (possibly diluted in a bottle). I'll still use Infinit for long training rides, as it's very convenient.
I'm working with a nutritionist this year, and she feels that the on-course nutrition is much easier to work with for long-course racing in terms of proper carbo and sodium intakes based on sweat rate and pace from my testing. I'll be experimenting with the new nutrition strategy this weekend at the Quassy HIM.
I'm struggling to get my head around this.
You've been using a product for four years that you obviously like and, as you stated is "very convenient". And yet you now decide you'll only use it for training and will go with something else entirely for races? Something that's not really convenient at all?
Am I missing something here?
Good luck with your experimenting (in a race).
