Good point, David. I had an interesting experience with Coke at Ironman in
99. My friend who had done a few (14!) told me to try some coke in the
last hr of hard training sessions as I might find myself wanting it at the
end of the race...
sure enough, it happened! The issue for me was that after 9-10 hrs of
drinking red and blue sports drinks (YUCK!!!), I was sick of them! There
is no way you can drink just water at that point and gels become a bit
unappealing especially if it is hot. I think that deep into an intense
endurance effort, reserves are so depleted that something extremely simple
and high-glycemic works because you are relying on just blood sugar at that
point. Anyway, been there...

The pro's are not drinking cola during the entire race...usually just the
last hour of a race for an extremely quick boost of energy. At that point in
the race, cola usually tastes pretty dang good and has a lot of simple
calories and a fair amount of caffeine. Cola also seems to hit the system
quicker and harder than gels.....

2 years ago I was watching the pro race at the Tour Of Willamette by the
side of the road. One of the leaders a (Mercury guy) threw his full water
bottle in our direction and asked "How far?" It was near the finish so he
was dumping weight. Anyway, I was surprised to see that it was filled with
cola. How can you do a race like that and drink cola? Can anyone share
the
possible benifits? I guess it is mostly sugar and water, but I dont
understand how caffiene can be benificial. Especially in a longer race. I
know they have goo packets with caffiene added as well.

Eric, "Soda Pop" usually means CocaCola or some other phosphate laden
drink. Phosphates block calcium absorbtion. Caffiene also interferes
with
calcium uptake. Since active athletes need at least 2000mg of calcium
per
day (not subtracting that which their Coka-Cola blocks) it would be a
good
idea to revisit the choice of drink. 100% fruit juice will be more
healthy
and have lots of sugars, too. maybe even a vitamin.
A balanced commercial product intended for recovery needs to have some
scientific basis for its existance. Tooting my own horn, I suggest you
look at the Shaklee website for sports products. Ask about the science
first. Shaklee has over 70+ published peer reviewed scientific studies
about human nutritional needs and their products intended to help those
needs. Check the web site. www.shaklee.net/thefullers Check out

Anectodal stories and advertising do not make for good choices.
