Seems to me there must be some... <BR/><BR/>I'll be combining shot bloks (70mg sodium per serving) with nuun (360mg sodium per 16oz bottle) and real food. So that would be at least 430mg of sodium every hour, probably more depending on how much and what I drink/eat at aid stations. S-caps are listed at 341mg per cap. So I'm still behind what you are doing. I'll do some more analysis tonight...<BR/><BR/>nuun really helped me in cooler races, now we get to see about a hot one.Neal Jamisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724547967899185071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986292856562187618.post-76333253561191106162008-06-04T11:48:00.000-04:002008-06-04T11:48:00.000-04:00Coach Nippert has me downing at least 1 S-Cap ever...Coach Nippert has me downing at least 1 S-Cap every 20 minutes or so in the warmth - makes a HUGE difference. Nuun does taste good in warm weather though, but does not have the sodium you will be losing. You have ran and finished Hellgate though, so you know what you are doing, so I have no worries, i'd go out a tad fast and slog through the heat of the day from 12-7 and you will be ok if you can keep moving and minimize down time. A trick I learned - take a dip/swim in creeks when you get the chance, even if you have to go off course for a few minutes - the time you make up and lowered core body temperature will make a world of difference. I did many dips at Bull Run and still broke 8 hours. After a puke episode, I went to the boat ramp - off course- and jumped into a marina - the aid station people flipped out and thought I'd drown, I came out a new runner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986292856562187618.post-21030885504747518802008-06-03T23:25:00.000-04:002008-06-03T23:25:00.000-04:00Food is good.
