Oh my, did I have a terrible experience trying out GU this morning. That stuff is terrible. I gagged and had dry heaves after two attempts to swallow the stuff. Has anyone out there tried something other than GU to help stay energized during long swims? I am swimming the 8 mile swim across Lake Champlain in two weeks. I'm experimenting with different foods/nutritional supplements that might help me along the way. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I really like the Espresso and Apple Cinnamon. I'm not crazy about GU. I also try to drink Accelerade mixed with Red Bull. Here's our web site that we made for the swim. See you there! teamlunachixdc.com/8-miler
