I use eGel, which I think is different than Gu. It is half again as big in calories and volume plus more electrolyte based and no caffeine.
This has been bugging me all day (I'm not getting much work done) because I don't want to experience that again. I wasn't going hard at all, and would describe the pace as "casual" or "conversation".
Lot's of good info to think over and come up with a game plan to prevent cramps. I think when several members repeat the same advice, it must be good advice and worth consideration.
Thanks
