I LOVE ginger, and I actually do think that a ginger/honey/lemon gel would go down great. I did a concentrated speed nectar with LMNT's Mango Chili flavor and it was nice.
We always recommend finding things that work well for you as having the right flavor profile and getting something you want to use is important. This just wasn't it for us (and we didn't like the spicy LMNT flavors either...!).
'Quick' question: How do I fuel a day on the mountain snowboarding? That's not in the app. I want to be out there for 4-7 hours but I always feel wrecked after.
you could wear a hear rate monitor to check what zones you are going into .. then use those in the calculator. If you don't want to do any of that - well - just start taking in about 70 grams per hour of very simple carbs like sugar and also be drinking enough water (based on your urination amounts and color)
@@FT__Bicycling_____-sc7yv I should definitely try a heart rate monitor at least to see the time intervals of rest on the chairlift vs downhill work time and effort.
Thanks for the question. I hope you're having a good snowboarding session so far. For an activity that is intermittent like snowboarding you would need to use the average intensity the time you're on the mountain; this will probably be "low aerobic". Then estimate how much you will be sweating which can be tricky in cold conditions, but if you're dressed up in many layers it's important to get this right. Then use an activity that represents the same upright body position so I would suggest either xc skiing or running in the app. I hope that helps.
FIRST 90 seconds: Laughed so hard I had to get up and leave the room. 🤣
🤣
You guys are great together, love the knowledge you share in your videos and the authenticity in your reviews. Plus, your cut ins are hilarious.
Dibs on the flypaper gel. I'll try one and mail it to the next person
I'm in. I just can't imagine it being THAT bad...
@@yakked This is gonna be like a terrible family fruitcake that keeps getting regifted...
@@robb1267 Real roller coaster here. Excitement and terror. Alex is going even harder than normal on this one.
Don't do it! It's not worth it even for the amusement 😂
Have you guys tried Maurten gel?
It's on our list for future reviews!

@@Saturday_ProFuelthanks so much for the reply. It's a tricky one to fuel, that's for sure.
So, tell us what you REALLY think. 😂

So what you're saying is that this is the gel version of Terry Pratchett's dwarf bread
Hahaha - yes, it's something like that. Only if you're desperate...
