I'd like to train using the drink and gels provided by the race committee. Does anyone know what is being provided this year (Gatorade, Accelerade, Powerbar Gel, Gu etc.)? If not, what has been provided in the past?
Thanks.

It has been Gatorade in the past, at least in the last two years. Two years ago, it was fruit punch and lemon-lime flavors, last year I only remember the lemon-lime.

As for gels, I saw people handing out Gu and PowerGels at various stations - I'm afraid I'm not sure which was the "official" gel and which was just people being nice, or if they were both official.

:roll: The Gel (GU) is located at three locations on the course and Gatorade is on the course and at the end of the race.

That's good news (I like Gu better than Powerbar Gel). Thanks for the info. Any idea on flavors?

Various Flavors during the course. Do you have a favorite? :)

My favorite flavor is Chocolate/Mint, a hold-over from the holidays.

Strawberry / banana all the way. So, do you drink a gel or chew a gel? :?:
