Buyer beware. It's come out that Spring Energy's popular AwesomeSauce energy gel has sham Nutrition Facts information, and contains approximately one third the claimed caloric and carbohydrate values: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultramarathon/comments/1c27hzh/false_nutritional_info_on_spring_energy_gels/?share_id=1X7N_0FL4K49n7caW3LMD&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=4 Verified by reputable sources in nutritional lab analysis. If you choose to use this product, know that you'll need at least twice as much of it as the nutrition information would lead you to believe in order to meet in-run calorie needs.

We had 6 Treeline Athletes out for some big events this past weekend, and 2 the weekend before that. The season is here and all that winter work is coming to fruition. If you've raced in the last couple weeks, what have you learned? I know one athlete learned that as great as the Topo Athletic Mountain Racer 3 is as a trail shoe, for 50+ mile efforts a little more padding under-foot is nice to have.

One of our Treeline Athletes has been working with this product the last couple of months. It's Gnarly Nutrition Fuel, and they make carbohydrate drink powders for in-run carb fuel (similar to Tailwind in my understanding). It is a product I have never used before. Does anybody have experience, or pros/cons about this product to share with the rest of us? Or any others of the Gnarly product line?
