Paul Ruinaard Posted September 28, 2013 Share So I dragged my fat and unfit body around N Farm today. I managed the 55 km route, but I get to a water table and all they have is sparkling flavored waters because Aquelle is a sponsor. WTF? I know it's not a serious event but all I wanted was a quick cup of water or an Energade. Can someone please explain to these corporate sponsorship people that carbonated drinks actually can dehydrate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmarc Posted September 28, 2013 Share Was a great race for a good cause, really cool tattoo arm warmers in the race packs and a glass with an ice cold Zamalek at the finish instead of another medal I rode at back end and all water tables had normal water in 25 L containers. Will always support CHOC races especially this one. Francois Pienaar, slowpoke and dracs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karma Posted September 28, 2013 Share They had normal standard issue unflavored water, but I opted for the shooters instead. Good event, see you next year. Nothing to moan about. slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2013 Share Aquelle are really good sponsors. I see them at just about all sporting events offering their products for free. I think they are setting a good example and support them as much as I can slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber88 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Also agree it was an awesome day and vibe out there. I think the thread name should change to : Well done to the Bainbridge/CHOC crew! slowpoke and dracs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeYellow Posted September 28, 2013 Share did the 25km (which was really 21.2km) - awesome event, fantastic turnout, and the glass at the finish was pretty cool instead of a medal. I agree, not sure what there is to Rant about, more like a Rave.... slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have made that more clear. Aquelle does not sit well. As I said - fat and unfit so needed a water table stop at the end.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanJ Posted September 29, 2013 Share I was offered a choice of still unflavoured water, sparkling flavoured water or a shooter, there were also free samples of the new Choc energy bars. No problems at all, great race and vibe. slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
