High Carb Fuel

Powered my entire 70.3 Half-Ironman Triathlon

I've been a long-time Endurance Fuel user, but needed a higher-carb solution for my first Half Ironman 70.3 Triathlon. Over 6.5hours it was my only fuel source and I felt great, no stomach issues, and no cramping. I prefer liquid fuel because then all you have to remember is to keep hydrating and all of your bases are covered. I used this during my harder training sessions too and never had any problems. I did a bunch of research on sports nutrition and Tailwind continuously nails the ingredients and amounts based on modern scientific research. The only change I made on race-day is adding some salt to the mix, as it was very hot and humid and I'm a salty sweater; but that's very person-specific and during most training sessions I don't need extra sodium. Great product that I'll continue to use and recommend!

Long rides just got better!

I tested Tailwind High Carb Fuel during my recent Ironman 70.3 build as I was trying to increase my carb intake on long rides. Finally, a product that tastes good without being overwhelming, goes down easy, and includes the electrolytes I need for hot summer riding. Thanks to Tailwind, I leveled up my carb intake and experienced benefits that blew me away. Gone was the "must collapse on couch" feeling, I had energy throughout the day. Even better, I recovered more quickly and was ready for the next day's session. Thanks, Tailwind!

Five Stars for High Carb

Not going to lie, this mix is thick, but it's SO WORTH IT. I train for full Ironman triathlons and need heavy carb mixes to get through those long long rides and runs and this has given me life on many a long day. It has also been great on my stomach which gets upset a lot and because it's lighter flavoring I haven't gotten flavor fatigue with the Lemonade flavor.
