Then make a duct tape handle on the bottom of the gel pack to let your gloves get a good grip. As guys head thru the barrels, they just pull over, tear the pack loose and squeeze it in underneath your helmet. Takes an average of 10-20 seconds, and really gives guys that little extra to finish the race strong. You feel the effect quickly too.
This lets you run straight water in the drink system, making clean up and storage easier. Need to have a couple long pulls off the Camelback to wash all that goo down, but it works pretty darn well.

What's the name of this stuff?
