Gel flasks

[Bron]

Compared with the blood, sweat and tears of my last triathlon, I don't think a bit of gel is going to make things worse.

Alas, not enough boobage to keep the gel in my cleavage

I haven't done it yet but I plan to use one - which is actually a $1 flask from the drugstore, that closes tight, with a cloth-and-tape handle - for my homemade gels...

That sounds good, any chance you would share a recipe or two?

I used to use them a lot in adventure racing.

These really only work if you put enough water in there to make it drinkable(you don't want to dilute it too much though).

Hmm, that's what I thought. Shall have to try it in training.

I don't have the time to fetch them right now but there are a few on this board. Usually it involves some jam, some liquid sugary substance (most say honey, I would do maple syrup), a pinch of salt, and then some add the syrupy maltose (or something like it) that is sold in some stores, but I think I would skip that. Add water to dilute a bit to make drinkable.

Actually I sometimes have just a spoonful of honey (with a bit of salt) before a more-than-30-minute run in the morning. Works just great!
