no..not the kind you'd like to experience with that annoying lane mate or that coach who keeps giving you sets of 10 x 200 backstroke....I'm talking about the sports drink....!
I can't do a workout longer than an hour without some kind of caloric intake after the first hour. I usually suck down a packet of Gu or PowerAid...this time I decided to try Revenge - powdered drink that you mix with water. I actually liked the taste - not too sweet, etc. However....and I'm sure this is more info than you're all prepared to read on a Monday morning...but let's just say I've been spending more time in the ladies room than at my desk! Anyone else out there experience stomach upset with Revenge?!

Just a hunch, but you might want to check to see if it's made with real sugar or a form of artificial sweetner.
There are some really funky aritifical sweetners out there (not the standard Diet soda / splenda kind) that can work by slowing down certian elements of the digestive process. Anyway, I've found that when I ingest something of this variet it has the exact opposite affect on me, and I find myself going to the bathroom a lot more frequently than I should be.
