Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem

This product worked for me. Eliminated power drops and sugar rushes I was having on long rides.

1. Heads-up Use guidance from Hammer's "The Endurance Athlete's Guide to Success". Also great learning on excess hydration. Otherwise this is a waste of money.

2. Heads-up Need to test how much to use how often during ride. A sip every 15 minutes works for me. After 4 hours I find a need to cut back to less. After 8 hours found I need some solid food.

I need the blender to mix, put it in the freezer the night before doesn't freeze at the concentrations I use.

I am training for my first Ironman... Cafe Latte... helps me stay full with no stomach upsets.....

just starting to come around to the "protein drink on longer rides" approach, having had some problems with gut bombs from too many sandwiches on hotter days

i find this stuff undrinkable straight, but cut 5050 with something like orange cytomax, add ice, and you've got a creamsicle shake in the water bottle that will keep you running strong - found it just the ticket on this year's stp along with extra salt!, which was somewhat hot and headwindy from miles 100150

of course low-fat chocolate milk also works quite well when available -
