Maltodextrin Day 3

After a couple small attempts at this, I think I figured it out for the third time!

If you remember, the whole point of this is to find something to give me more calories in a moutain bike race without adding solid food. We’re talking about a 2.5-3 hour race, maybe a 6 hour. I think there will be a lot more testing though, if I try to figure out the proper nutrition method for a 24 hour solo attempt…

So really, I just needed to add a couple hundred calories to my 2 bottles of Gatorade. And that is what I did on day 3 testing. I took 2 bottles of Gatorade/maltodextrin mix out for a 2 hour ride. And it went great! (Well, from a nutrition standpoint it did, I was a bit sluggish because I was fighting off a cold…)

In the end, the main finding is that I can combine Gatorade and maltodextrin powder and use it successfully while riding.
