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.
