In have used it and i like it. However, for me, it has to do mostly with flavour. The Strawberry falvour has a really nice light taste that i can drink all day.

I use it and like it. There's not much that works well on a 3-hour long run on a hot muggy day, but this stuff does and is customizable. You can up the sodium if you know you'll be sweating more than usual.

Use it and like it. Can't really say how it compares to others as far as working, as I don't really keep note. I can say that I like the taste with no after effect. I also like that it mixes clear as I wear a predominately white jersey, thus no coloured spatters all over it.

I use it and love it. At IMWI I carried a concentrated bottle of eload with zone caps in the bike, and just added it to water. Same for the run, carried concentrated mixture in gel flask. Gatorade makes me puke when racing, I can drink it before/after.

I've been using eLoad since 2001. Initially I started mixing up concentrated bottles that I'd use for the entire bike but last year I mixed them regular strength and then switched to whatever the race provided (HEED, Gatorade, Envervit, etc.) after those were done and that seemed to work just as well.

Thanks to everyone for your input. I will find an online source (as I don't know of anywhere locally that sells it) and give it a try.

I really like e-load, but I think it 's always good to get used to whatever is going to be available at (longer) races too. Having said that, when the season rolls round again, out will come the e-load for the long bikes, and the little capsules as a supplement for IMC. Not cheap though.

I use it and love it too. I could drink the lemon flavour all day, though I've never tried the strawberry one; maybe I'll have to. If you're in Canada, Sports Nutrition Depot is the cheapest I've found:
