when is something like cytomax helpful...
i went on a ride this morning up with some guys from my ward. they loop they do is a couple miles longer than mine by a couple miles, but there aren't any real climbs (not that mine has any giant climbs, but my loop will make you work a little harder i guess)... one guy had cytomax... the ride is only just over 20 miles. will a drink like that really help for a ride that's not very long?

I usually bring one bottle of wattle and one of sports drink. Although on my race Sunday I barely drank one and one half bottles. It was so cool and I was sluggish.

Sometimes, on century rides, the mixes are strooong. I sometimes feel like I'm OD'ing on cytomax. Too much can leave you feeling weird in my opinion.
Arch has it right...one bottle of water, and the other some sports drink. Easier on the stomach.

I'm sold! And, if anyone questions you, just say: "I don't know what I'm talking about, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night"....and all will be well! I think you've got the gist of it.

I heard some Tri pros talking and they said that with gatorade they will take the stock stuff and diliute it with water 1:1 so as not to get too much sugar.
This weekend they were giving out HEED I think and I almost puked. good thing thye had a bunch of water nearby. It has to have at least some flavor for me to drink it. stuff tasted like they were jsut collecting sweat off of people as they went by. Good thing I had some cliff shots instead. |

HEED is disgusting.
Accelerade and cytomax are tolerable. Gatorade is the best tasting, but the least effective from a performance standpoint. |
