So it came to pass towards the end of last season when I grew tired of cramps impeding my ability to finish strong, I set off in search of the perfect long training ride/race nutritional concoction. Now, having tested said concoction, I am ready to unleash the beta-recipe on the world, seeking feedback and suggested tweaks.
Ingredients needed:
- 2 GU or similar flasks (one will do for the sub 3 hour race-ride)
- Honey
- Sea Salt
- Sport Legs tablets
- Beta Alanine (PrimaForce)
- Citrullene Malate (PrimaForce)
- BCAA (PrimaForce)
- Water
Into each flask, mix the following proportions of ingredients:
- Fill the flask 1/2 way with honey
- Add 1 scoop each of the Beta Alanine, Citrullene Malate, and BCAA powder (the scoops PrimaForce provides are very small)
- 3 pinches of sea salt
- 3 Sport Legs capsules opened into the flask
Add just enough water to help the honey mix in with the ingredients and give each flask a good shake.
After the post shake head has subsided, top off each flask with water. Now you are good to go!
