Hi All,
I have a question about sport gels. There are many kinds out on market: protein, energy, vitamin, multi-vitamin, mineral, and other types.
Which one is good for 230K (including climbing to Mt.Fuji 5th station)?
Last time when I went to Mt. Fuji i had 2 protein gels and i used 1 protein gel, every one hour and felt great. On third hour used one energy gel and fourth hour used one multi-vitamin gel. However, i am not sure, may be i was fresh from home while using protein gels i felt great first two hours. When switched to energy and multi-vitamin gels did not feel same as protein gels. Perhaps i was tired. When i arrived Mt. Fuji toll gates after 90K from home my body was exhausted to do 24.5K climb so returned home. By the way i did not eat any kind of food but drank plenty of water up first 90K.
Any advice from experienced riders?
Thanks,
Chris
