Yesterday, I used the Amino Carb drink together with the Magenta Crazy Berry gel for the first time in a race. It really works for me.

 

The gel bottle works brilliantly. No fussing for gel packets in your pocket, and trying to open them with one hand. No sticky packets left in your pocket. No mess, no fuss.

Will get some when I am in SA in 3 weeks.  Promised the Missus I will do the 60 kays on the Bela Bela with her.  And I am going to need all the help I can get.

Shameless Whasp Plug:

First used them when I got a free gel free at each of the 3 Jhb Duathlon series races. Used them and loved them.

 

Recently test drove the hip flask at the Panorama Tour and loved it - no mess no fuss no littering and no fiddling with sachets mid race.

 

Colin - the freebies work! I had never used gels before and have now probably bought 4 boxes and a bottle of liquid.

 

Next up - the Whasp Amino/Gel combo....

Was/am planning to try the new Whasp gel (PeptoPro) at Comrades, but need to test it on a longish, hard run to make sure there is no stomach effect.  Have used Whasp before with no ill effects, so shouldn't be an issue, but not using something new on raceday.  Anyway problem is, there is none in KZN it seems.  Have tried both Dischems and the biggest LBS's, as well as pharmacies that stock Whaspgel.  None seem to know anything about the PeptoPro gel, although they do have a few mismatched loose Whaspgel sachets.

 

Any suggestions, Collin?  If I don't have in hand by Saturday (last longish run) then I will use the Powerbar gels I've used recently.

Hey Linnega I used the Whasp gels, both the regular gels and the PeptoPro gels, this weekend on the Addo 50 miler with no problems at all. I also used the gel flask which is great as you can control your dose. Obviously you would want to make sure that they work with your gut prior to the Comrades.

 

 

 

I got the PeptoPro gels from Porstar direct during the Xmas special and have not seem them in stores (unfortunately).

 

 

 

Has anyone else noticed that the gels from the bottle taste slightly different (better) than from the sachets?

 

 

 

Pitty I've tossed all my slips already smiley19.gif

 

 

 

There were 3 MTB'ers who did the Addo 100 Miler route as part of a training ride to the Freedom Challenge. Overheard one of them say that the route was above average for a typical day out riding.

Hi

 

Gavin is the agent in KZN please get hold of him and check who will have stock...we are still battlign with shops to keep stock, so when you go into shop and they dont have stock, ask for the manager and tell him to get stock.

 

Gavin - 082 867 6671

 

Thanks for the effort, we really appreciate the support

Is this still going or was it only for last month?

 

BTW: Got some a Somerset West Dischem but they only had Cyan Crazy Berry in stock (@R11.00). Got 2 and will give them a go.
