Nutritionist and sport drink mix question

[Catrin]

Just remember as many have mentioned, SE doesn't have electrolytes and you need those. So add either some regular drink mix or use electrolyte capsules.

I will certainly do this. I am waiting to talk to the Infinit folks about their product. I just have to do some research, and probably email my nutritionist, to determine the best balance of carbs/protein/other things to fit my needs. I am trying the Cytomax for spinning, I want to compare it with the Gu Electrolyte Brew.

If I am just having a light session, or just a training session with no extra work then am going to stick with water.

I greatly appreciate everyone's input on this - it is greatly appreciated. I had noted on Hammer Nutrition's site the information about the "shelf-life" of the two fuels once mixed, but it helped hearing from those who use it that it really has such a short life-span before it starts "turning".

Eventually I will have to decide how best to carry this with me for long rides as I will, probably, be alone for most of them. It would be nice to meet a riding companion, but I won't stay home because of it My bike only has room for one bottle holder, there really is no room for another on down or seat tubes. If nothing else I can take a small backpack or something like that. That is a few months away though, so am not overly concerned about it right now (though it is in the back of my mind).
