GU-ey Goodness
I have been off the blog for what seems like forever, and I’ve been quite negligent in keeping you upated on all of our sponsorship happenings.
In mid/late December we finally got everything sorted out with a great sponsor – Gu Sports. We met one of their superstars, Holly Bennett at Interbike, and she’s been nothing but fantastic ever since. I have been a fan of Gu energy gels since I first started in triathlons almost 10 years ago, so Neal and I made a concerted effort at the trade show to seek them out and try and get them onboard. Gu has been extremely generous to us, and we couldn’t be happier to have them as a sponsor. Most
people know them for their gels, but you have to try the GU2O. It’s got a much lighter and less syrupy flavor than Gatorade or Powerade, which is why I like it. It goes down much easier during a long workout. I’m normally a lemon-lime guy, but to be honest, not so much with GU2O. Although it’s growing on me. Right now Raspberry is what gets me through.
What’s your brand/flavor of choice? Post a comment and let us know!






Hey congrats! I love their stuff. GU Vanilla Bean is my choice. Their holiday flavor – Mint Chocolate was pretty good too.
Vanilla Bean!! Is there anything else?
Anything fruity. Strawberry Banana is best. I love the Tango Mango GU2O. Try it.
I go for chocolate Power Gels usually. My favorite Gu is TriBerry or Espresso
