I guess if I had to choose, Clif Bars are the best for me but not fantastic.
lara bars are good.
ginger snap flavored clif bars are my fav but i think they discontinued them.
perpetuem (hammer products) is a good supplement during workouts the creamsickle flavor is nothing like what it sounds like. its excellent for ocean swims too as it seems to neutralize the salt mouth burn.
...I am fearing a dizzy spell after IM's tonight. LOL
The dizzy spell has nothing to do with (not) eating. It's what you're choosing to swim. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Well I'm off to the shop on my way home. Hopefully they wil have some of the choices you have all posted about. posted by Rich
The lard buckets will be in the isle labeled "Oils and shortenings" o.k....lard goes well on toast too you know.
GU espresso love 2X caffeine... Clif Shots Blocks The margarita flavor is my favorite!
Wow! Excellent choices. Two of my very favs. I actually like the consistency of the shot blocks better than gu, although I love espresso.
I can't eat before running at all. But I can eat within 30-60 of swimming, although 60 is better.
NEVER any food at all before practice - I don't want to be personally responsible for closing the pool during a workout. But, plenty of Jim Borkowski's favorite recipe for 'spread' on toast after practice. Before a meet, anything with digestible starch and lots of Hammer Gel/Gatorade in the swim bag. An occasional bagel in the middle of a long meet seems to stay down as well.
Judging from the number of trips I make to the men's locker room during workouts and meets, I don't have any particular difficulty with hydration.
