    I have a lot of 3-4 year old gels sitting around ... I need to consume a hundred or so before I will worry abour ordering something new.  I have tended to move to V-Fuel ... Not sure if that is where I will stay.

     

    Have you tried Huma Gel ?  I can eat a lot more of those with no stomach trouble vs GU or other brands.

     

    Cytomax https://www.a1supplements.com/cytosport-cytomax might be a good replacement as well.

    Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

      It is almost cultish the love for Tailwind. Why?

       

      Seems like most folks these days use Tailwind.

        I have boxes of Huma. DB, we had this at Monkey this year.

          I wanted to love Tailwind.  No.  Doesn't work for me.

           

          Was okay in smaller quantities during training but as fuel/hydration during hot

          humid 12 hour (2014) my stomach said no way.

           

          Huma has much less sweet taste than V-Fuel DB.

            SWORD rocks my world

              I wouldn't say it is an order of magnitude better than anything else. It has worked for me, so far, on 2+ hour runs, where I would normally pop an S-cap or two along the way. It definitely tastes better than Clip2, and causes me less stomach upset than Heed. I can see how it might not work so well on a hot and humid day, it tastes kinda brackish.
