I usually consume more gels but it´s because I feel nothing boosts my energy back like Gu with caffeine. on a 40K bike I usually have 3 Gu´s
What worries me is if that recipe for hydration tastes good or not. Have you tried that already????

Taste is fine. I've taken it in shorter races....but this will be my longest race yet and I'm concerned that the cocktail may have too much or too little....
I wish I could load up on caffeine! I've got WPW and too much of it can trigger a heartrate of 250-300bpm (285bpm in the pool last month - had it happened in open water during practice or a race I'd have been proper f'd.)

Your concoction looks almost exactly what I created for myself so that i concentrate it down to one bottle for 1800 cals.
I have been using the stuff now for two months and its awesome.
You can buy premade mixes or customize to get higher cals, electrolytes, protein etc.
Well since there is no one single product on the market that provides enough carbs, sugars and electrolytes--I'm combining my own like the rest of the world, but fear that I might be overdosing on one thing and not getting enough of something else.
Every hour I plan on consuming 1 16oz bottle of liquid containing:
1 Scoop Cytomax
1 Scoop Carbo Pro
1 Nuun
1 Sportleg capsule
1 Gel (Gu and/or Clif)
Totals per hour:
Calories: 302
Carbs: 75
Calcium: 168 mg
Sodium: 355mg
Potassium: 150mg
Magnesium: 26.5mg
Temps should be in the low 80s and I should be on the course for just under 8 hours.
Too much sodium? Not enough of something else? Is there any threat of these things going bad or losing effectiveness if premixed?
