			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I have my own sports drink now. Yep thats right &#8230; you can &#8216;Be Like Nuge&#8217; now with a bottle of The Super Nuge from <a href="http://www.infinitnutrition.us/" target="_blank">Infinit Nutrition</a>. This is a pretty interesting company which allows you to create your own custom mixed sports drink to eliminate the need for complex nutrition regiments. Nutrition is one of the most unique and complex pieces of triathlon training as every athlete&#8217;s system plays by its own sets of rules. After 2 hours of endurance training, your body runs out of its own fuel and will &#8216;hit the wall&#8217; if you dont replenish calories with some sort of quick burning sugars such as sucrose, or the glucose based dextrose and maltodextrin. The equation gets even more complex considering the amount of calories, carbs, protein and sodium a person can tolerate vary wildly from one triathlete to another based upon their fitness, physiology, age even taste buds. Even for the same athlete, what goes down smoothly after 70 miles on a bike may not prevent cramping and vomiting after 5 miles on the run.</p>
<p>Typically triathletes combine a routine of taking a sports drink like Gatorade for hydration, gels or gu for added calories, salt tabs for sodium to prevent dehydration. There are about a hundred different ways to personalize your nutrition plan with various types of solid foods or liquid carbohydrate supplements. For an athlete worried about the complication of carrying a small bodegas worth of snacks, someone who has encountered gastrointestinal problems with other products, or maybe even an athlete who has bonked and had to drop out of a race due to improper fueling, a customized solution like what Inifinit offers can be very appealing.</p>

<p>I decided that I wanted to simplify my nutrition and only carry liquids with me on the course. I don&#8217;t have to juggle pills, gels, water and a sports drink &#8230; I just grab one bottle and drink. Inifnit guides you through a process to help you determine your exact nutritional requirements. I have done a good deal of research and feel confident in my routine that I have used in multiple Olympics and a Half Ironman. I used the caloric requirements that I used during those races and came up with a formula that will give me exactly right amount of sustained nutrition for an endurance race. I just ordered a half bottle (12 &#8211; 20oz servings) to give it a test and see how my body reacts. Its actually very price competitive and I think perhaps cheaper in some cases than buying bottled Gatorade, gels and using salt tabs at about $1.83 per 20oz serving for my order (including shipping).</p>
