I've been keeping of the sugar for a good twelve months, don't you feel the difference in your fitness "better I think" like I'm not drinking as much water when I'm paddling as I used to because I'm not feeling as thirsty I recon sugar dehydrate's you. The last time I had a can of Coke-Cola was last years 2015 Molokai 2 Oahu race. as I need a quick rush
Breezes whats your opinion on this topic.
I have tried sports drinks many years ago and find they are not my thing and just a waist of money.
I find by eating plenty of blended vegetables your body gets so hydrated you don't feel as thirsty when your paddling for long distances
yep sugar makes you thirsty alright.
Any natural sugar in fruit and veg is the way to go . sports drinks have sugar.some are crap
I meet a Tahitian Outrigger champ ,they keep cans of coka a cola ,as he called it, in the boat in case anyone hits the wall.
they are the world champs .
I think its the combo in coke ...coco ,caffeine sugar. zing
,
the proofs in the pudding.
I ran the support boat on the weekend for the Pacifica crew that came second in the 9 man outrigger race on the weekend , all the boys were guzzling coconut water. It was a tuff race no wind and only 10 to 15 boat lengths between 2nd , 3rd & 4th last 20km. Seemed to work none of the boys blew up.
or magnesium.
Very clever marketing.
However I drink it in long races ( 3hours + ) + Hammer Nutrition Race Caps & Endurolytes.
Works for me.
I'd eat the whole coconut ...I love to chew.builds ya jaw muscle up ,so you have a great smile.
coconuts are a awesome food ,not only the water .
great for the skin ,pure coconut oil .
It gets a big tick.
coke is a bandaid fix.but great with vodka And ice.
or rum for some of you.
