I'm a Hammer girl for the most part. My stomach is pretty finicky too so I try to stay away from solids.

Here's the schedule:

A couple of ounces of gel before heading into the water.

For the bike I mix two bottles of Perpetuem and Heed really thick(3 scoops Perp, 2 Heed per bottle). One goes with me on the bike the other in my special needs bag. My second bottle has just water in it. I try to drink 2 to 3 swallows of water and 1 to 2 of the Hammer mix, every 15 min. One bottle of mix will last me 3 to 4 hours. So I have to make sure I grab the second bottle from special needs or I'll run out. I'll suppliment that with about 1 ounce of Hammer gel per hour. If I start to get hungry, I break out the Clif Shot Blocs or Honey Stinger chewies.

On the run I switch to just gel (1 ounce per half hour) and drink water and whatever electrolyte replacement they have at the aid stations.

If it's hot I also take in 3 Endurolytes per hour. Less when it's cooler.

My goal is to take in about 200 Cal per hour. A bit more if it's cool and I'm pushing hard.

BTW - it's nice to see you here.
