Jim, Thanks for the advice re: 'Be Natural', I tried them on the weekend and worked a treat! I know what you mean about locking them up at home - they are tasty! I also flew with 2L of half strength Gatorade - was going strong all 10hrs of soaring this weekend!
Thanks again all, Adam Woolley 6 more Days until George Lee's course!! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Kelly [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 12 October 2004 11:53 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Performance Enhancing Hi Adam, In bigger supermarkets with a 'health food' section, grab a selection of bars of the "Be Natural" brand and see what you think of them. I find them great (but the one covered in yogurt melts in the heat! Watch for specials - Safeway often have them for $1-47ea and stock up on the ones you like - then lock em away so you don't keep eating them!!!!! Btw, these are NOT found in the muesli bar area - and are easily mistaken for a cheapo copy called "Go Natural" which are nowhere near is good IMO. As for drinks - one tip - avoid tea, coffee (anything with caffeine) in the morning - it has a wonderful way of making you need a frequent stop just after you launch!!! I too am interested in what experienced xc pilots are putting in their camel-backs! So far I find that keeping everything clean and fresh is such a pain that just fresh water (with big ice blocks that last) is best. I make the blocks in half beer cans - the size just fits through the hole! Good luck with your gliding and I really hope that your enthusiasm rubs off on heaps of other folks along the way! Cheers, Jim Kelly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Woolley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 8:46 PM Subject: [Aus-soaring] Performance Enhancing G'day All, I'm really getting into my gliding at the moment, so am trying to improve in all ways of our sport. Just wondering what is the best energy foods for gliding are? What is the best liquid to drink in the air? is it best icy cold or warm? I know there's 2 thinkings of this... What should be eaten the night or just before the flight for maximum concentration and performance?
