I have a hot race this weekend and while I dont usually cramp, or cramp as much as the next guy in an Olympic distance race....its going to be high 80's and 90's by the time I hit the run. In preparation for another key hot and humid race later this summer I thought it would be worth trying out HotShot...to see what happens and how magical this special sauce really is?
I was not sure if I should pre load on the bike where I can tolerate the taste and chase it more easily with water or just hit it mid 10k run, where the burps might be a bit rough....
Again if it blows me up this weekend, no big deal, its a race I am trying a few things out in but wanted to try in thinking down the road, mostly as insurance should my key race have issues.
Any experience?
