Bike- orange
Run- yellow

And they had…

BANANAS!!!

Sweet, sweet fruit of the Gods. I’m pretty sure I would have died Sunday without those peel covered wonders.

Hi Jodi!

Did you take any salt tablets or drink chick broth on the run?

Nope! I’m not a salty sweater. Actually I don’t sweat much at all. (Look at my finisher’s pic. That shirt is cotton and it’s bone dry). I actually do very poorly with salt. I started with regular gatorade because I was worried about the salt in endurance. I’m a mutant!

What about the gels? What flavours?

All I know is that one of the flavors was the coffee flavor one that has the mega caffeine. I think they had a whole bunch of flavors though. I know they had the unflavored stuff at Oceanside.

For the gels they had about every flavor. I like the Powergel but some of the flavors are really strong. On the bike it was tough to be picky but during the run I would run up and see what flavors they were holding and pick some more of the mellow. The Plain is my favorite.

Thanks - nice to know that all (or most) of the flavours are there. The bike is what I’m worried about…I do a gel about every 45mins on the bike, and some of their flavours I just can’t handle. Tangerine is absolutely horrible, and I also find strawberry-banana or raspberry-creme too sweet. The others are fine, though I much prefer Gu - too bad it’s gone from the course.
