Is the on-course Coke flat? Otherwise that would just destroy my stomach. I'll be sticking to salt/water every aid station plus gels for my carbs.

Do you have a recipe for flat Coke?

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

IME, "flatish" Probably about 1/2 the CO2 level of a fresh can, but far from fully flat.

Interesting. I ordered a Gatorade endurance mix just last week so I have it for Oceanside.

Now I'm anxious to find out what they will have on the course so I can plan accordingly.

I just had to get rid of my bottle from that race - it was a sad day since it lasted so long.

I had to check the date because I thought this was an April fools joke.

New CEO is off to a great start.

FWIW, I ordered from The Feed yesterday (Maurten mix) and as I completed the checked out process, I got an offer to add Mortal Hydration drink mix sampler with one click for $1.00
Mortal Hydration × 1
Mortal Sampler / 3 Regular & 3 Salted

$1.00

As far as I know... It is Gatorade for Oceanside.

Life is short. Dont be mad all the time.

I can get behind eating little debbies on course. Sounds good to me! lol

That looks more like an edible package than a hydration package.

Your wish is my command. (it's an article I just wrote answering that question.)

Represents my opinion as well. Stevia + barely any Carbs is bad news x2 on this one.

Yesterday Ironman sent me a nice email titled "Nutrition: The Fourth Discipline".
Lots of advice to practice your nutrition in training so you are ready for race day.
Only product mentioned is Maurten Gels!
The last line of the email
"Plan now to start testing your race-day nutrition in your daily training with exactly what’s going to be served on-course at your next race."

Ok - so what is going to be on the course at IMTX? Just trying to follow your advice IM.

Just finished reading it - really well written article, and synthesis of the information for us non chemistry folks :)

Thanks again for your contributions to the forum.

yeah, what's your go to method for this?

Not that it matters to much to the athletes, but it was Gatorade strong arming IM, not the other way around.

Shake and open repeatedly (slowly at first, obviously). Then leave open for the night. How race organizers flatten all that coke they're going to dispense, I have no idea.

Was/is Gatorade Endurance a separate entity than Gatorade? I remember meeting the “owner” of GE at IMLP in 2019 and he said they were separate. Unless im misremembering the conversation. Seemed to be a smaller operation.

I’m just gonna leave this video here and also let everyone know that the “on course Bottles” Gatorade Endurance is a completely different formula and ingredients than the powder formula that they sell that everyone trains with. Lionel learned this in one of his races ;) lionel was a sponsored athlete at the time but I don’t know if you remember he went on a nutrition kick after this race haha.

HAH! These were $5 at Rock n Roll DC

Use code ST5 for $5 off your order

Did R&R offer to mix them up with firehose water, in trash cans?

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

so purely hypothetical speculation.....


Maybe Gatorade imploded (or no longer have the finances or desire to support Ironman). The Ironman warehouse is in Boulder. Mortal Kombucha / Hydration is also in Boulder. Seems plausible that an IM staffer knew someone at Mortal and worked a deal. Mortal Kombucha also has backing from a venture capital firm (based on "news" from their website"), so maybe they put more finances in front of Ironman to make the deal "sweeter" than Gatorade.

This makes a lot more sense given the less that desirable nutritional components of Mortal and the timing.

There are a lot of layers, but no all Gatorade branded products are the assets of Pepsi.

G2, Endurance, etc are separate “companies” from Gatorade that are freely allowed to use the Gatorade brand name.
