I looking for a different nutrition option for a 70.3.
I now use isotonic sportsdrink in combination with 3 or 4 gels during the bike. To be able to digest the gels better I also have a bottle of water. This results in taking at least 3 bottles with me during the bike (in the Netherlands, on course nutrition is not always available) and a bento box for gels.
To clean up my bike and make nutrition easier, I wanted to get rid of the gels. What seems ideal to me, is to have a one bottle with concentrated liquid nutrition for calories, and another bottle for hydration and maybe electrolytes. Maybe I have to take two bottles for hydration but I want to have enough calories in the 'nutrition' bottle.
My question is, what are the options for concentrated liquid nutrition? I guess you can just dilute some gels in a drink bottle, or put in an extra scoop of sportsdrink powder in a bottle. Are there other options?
-Cheers!
