I went looking for a sports drink picture and found this one. Cracks me up. She really looks like she's been exerting herself and needs electrolyte and fluid replacement! (PS - That's exactly how I look 3-4 hours into a long run or an ultra. . . . NOT!)
Yesterday got the almond butter packets I ordered, and today I got the UCAN. Tomorrow it's going to be 18 miles out at Headwaters, so it'll be a good run for experimenting. The almond butter packet I sampled last night wasn't too bad, although I ended up with heartburn a bit later. Maybe I should carry TUMS with me tomorrow, just in case. Heartburn + running = Ugh. And since I won't have any blue sports drink with me . . . .
The UCAN - You mix a packet with 16 oz of water and drink it 30-45 minutes for you exercise, then re-up every 90 minutes if you're going to be out there longer than 2 hours. I plan to take an extra bottle of water with me, carry an extra packet, and gauge if I think I need to drink some more. As always - we'll see!
Oh, regarding the cheeseburger Quiche - I found a recipe in the 'net yesterday, and it looks delicious! I'll have to report back on this one.
