So how slow was I? An hour and 38 minutes and two seconds. 1:38.02. That's a 10:49/mile pace. I stopped to walk a couple of times to drink my proprietary blend of Gatorade and water...ok...not an ancient Chinese secret...it's 1 part water to 1 part Gatorade. Pretty good stuff.
If anyone reading this has any tips on some good flavors for those "power gels" I would greatly appreciate it. If your mind went to a dark place, keep your comments to yourself, I already beat you to it.
Seriously, a friend gave me a tip to mix the pouch of Gu power gel (plain flavor) with water. What I have been doing is taking one of those on my long days. Well, I mixed it with water and it tasted like hell. So I added apple juice. All better!
Back to it, power gels that taste ok. Here's what I have tried:
- Chocalate fudge (too thick)
- Lemon Lime (just gross)
- Double Latte (see Lemon Lime)
- Banana Strawberry (passable)
- Plain (see above)
Thanks in advance for the help. Take care. My cross-training tomorrow? Mowing the lawn. HA!
