Using eloadTM on Course

Using a concentrated eload solution for races where eload^TM is not the sponsor works very well. Here's the setup:

Jetstream/Triathlons

Assuming you have a jetstream bottle on your bike as well as two bottle cages on the frame, mix an eload^TM concentrate in one of your water bottles, using one scoop/e-pak per 500 ml (16 fl oz) that you will need on course (you may want to confirm your needs using our fluid calculator). Add however many Zone Caps you need. Finally, add enough water to make the concentrate.

Mix two additional bottles of normal strength eload^TM as you normally would prepare them. On race day, dump one of the regular bottles in your jetstream and mount the other one and the concentrate in the cages. When the first jetstream is finished, refill it with the other standard bottle. For all additional jetstream refills, combine a big squirt of the concentrate with enough supplied course water to achieve your desired dilution/taste.

Fuel Belt/Running

Mix a concentrate of eload^TM as above, and place in 2 Fuel Belt containers, loading other containers with normal strength eload^TM. When the normal strength eload^TM has been consumed, use concentrate with supplied course water. Squirt the concentrate into your mouth, and ‘chase’ with course water. You will have to experiment with the ratio of concentrate to water that ultimately produces the desired dilution/taste.

These systems work out very well, and enable you to keep using your preferred beverage!

Hope this helps.
