These are the gummy squares. I love them and use them to train with but what about a race? It might suck (and be dangerous) to be opening a new package during the bike ride. Maybe I should stick to gels but the Blocks are so good!!!
how do you do it in training?
I cut open several packs, cut the top edge all the way off, and combine several packs depending on how many i’m going to take, then stuff them in the dreaded bento box. With the tops cut off you can reach in and get a couple out at a time, then close the velcro mesh back over them.
on the run i cut the top off and put in a pocket in my shorts.
I was trying to avoid the Bento Box, SLowtwitch has warped my mind.
i have seen athletes stick them on the top tube of their bike frame and they stick well to it. it could affect your aerodynamics though haha
not if you shave them down into little aerodynamic tear drop shapes…
Just stick 'em in your cheeks and chew them as needed;-)
