Per WTC e-mail response about on-course hydration and fuel options: **** **Bike course aid stations are approximately every 10 miles. ** **Bike Aid Stations: ** Gatorade Edge Lemon Lime 24 oz. Water PowerBar PowerBar Gel Fruit Run course aid stations are approximately one mile apart. **Run Aid Stations: ** Gatorade Endurance Formula Orange Water Cola PowerBar PowerBar Gel Fig Newtons Fruit
Does anyone know where you can get Gatorade Endurance Formula Orange flavor in powder. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
The Orange Endurance is not available in Powder. ( I can’t even find it bottled where I live!)
What’s being offered at the swim aid stations?
Seriously, I don’t see chicken broth on that list for run stations. That stuff is a lifesaver sometimes.
Why Edge for the bike, which is regular Gatorade, and Endurance for the run? Couldn’t they be consistent? Now I have to train with both.
Gatorade Endurance will be on both the bike and the run course at Louisville. On the bike course the Endurance will come in an “Edge” bottle. (sport top bottle) On the run the Endurance will be in Gatorade cups.
I think the flavors will be Orange EF on the Bike and Lemon-Lime EF on the run. That is what is served at the NA Sports Ironman events in the US.

I just think it is BS that they have the Orange flavor on the run when you can’t buy it in powder form. Now I have to go out and buy it in pre mixed bottles.
I think it’s BS that we can’t buy EITHER the powder or pre-mixed bottles of GEF in Canada.
I love the stuff and it works magic for me.
My “supplier” moved to far away for me to get it from her and I am hoarding what’s left of my stash.
Damn FDA laws.
Ohioaide, finest petroleum based replacement drink on the market. River pickles for your gel option.

OK, that makes more sense. I was thinking “Edge” as in the flavor they sell in convenience stores, like the “Ice” flavors. Thanks!
They ought to give out Propel Fitness Water as well. I like that stuff!
I just don’t get why they don’t officially post this information on the site. We have heard Edge, Endurance, soup, no soup… this is the same thing we went through waiting for bike course info. This certainly must be info they have by now… so why not post it so we don’t have to rely on forums for this information?
Yeah, I agree with Tribrian. Seems strange to me that there is no “dedicated” site for IMLou like there is for the IMs. I know that IMLou does have a site but it’s not the same. IMLou is not owned by IMNA (or whatever it’s called now) that owns all the others except Hawaii, so maybe that’s the difference.

Yikes! I hear there will be plenty of nutrition dense urinal mints in the pot-o-cans, too
I agree. I suggested they do so. What has been done locally to get ready is sweet. The River Road section that was beat-up bad is now been repaved and is as smooth as glass. There are some pockets on 42 that could use repair but overall the bike course is in good shape.
except for the ballard school road stretch, still some gravel and stuff on that.
we are riding 100 on the course this weekend, leaving my house around 6:30am i think (so we can get back and get out to churchill for the stephen foster), if you and squid are interested. i know you two usually leave later in the morning.
