I am doing my first IM tomorrow. I am planning on using Infinite throughout and its been working pretty well for me. One concern I have is insuring I have plenty of electrolytes. My Infinite has some in it however with it being a little wamish on the bike, 82 degrees how will I know if I have enough electrolytes? Wait till I start cramping? All my training this year Infinite has done the trick without salt tabs but its been a cool summer in Minnesota. I appreciate any thoughts.
Be careful messing with anything or adding anything new the day before the race! With that in mind, I use Infinit. In addition to the Infinit, I carry extra electrolyte caps with me on the bike (Succeed! Caps) to compensate for the extra water I may drink on a hot day. One trick is to bite the caplet open. If the salt tastes good, swallow it. If it tastes gross, spit it out. You’ll be suprised at what your body will tell you. Good luck!
