I've now used Infinit Nutrition on about six long rides, and I can say it lives up to all it's billing! It rocks! I've never had a sports drink product I've been so happy with. Just as a number of my other triathlete buddies have claimed, when you dial in the right formula there is no need for any other nutrition--no bars, gels, or beans--and (so far) no additional salt. (Although when it gets hotter, I bet I'll use some.) So far I've done 3+ hour rides with only the liquid nutrition and have not needed anything in addition.
The first time I used Infinit for a long ride, I used 200 calories/hour. I have decided I feel better at a number closer to 250/hour. I have water in my aerobottle, and a "feed bottle" on my down tube. For a three hour ride, I fill the feed bottle with 750 calories and chug that down at regular intervals together with some water. So easy.
Here is my Endurance Formulation for long rides:
2 scoops-- 252 calories
Fat 0
Sodium 358 mg
Potassium 104 mg
Carbos 60g
Sugars 18g
Protein 2.96 g (This little bit of protein really keeps me from getting hungry on the bike. In the past I always felt like I could eat pancakes on that thing!)
I am also happy using a slightly different formulation for the long runs. No stomach upset, and a nice boost every time I take a drink. It has also eliminated the need for gels. This Infinit cocktail also has a tad of caffeine, which I like. I'm still dialing in the calories I need on the long runs. I think I've been a little shy on nutrition. I'm going to up the calories tomorrow and see how that feels.
Run/Shorter Race Formulation:
2 scoops-- 223 calories
Fat 0
Sodium 348 mg
Potassium 161 mg
Carbos 56g
Sugars 19g
Protein 0 g
As I posted before, the service was amazing, and now I can happily report so is the product.
