Have You Ever Seen This On Your Jersey?
Two weeks before my 112 mile race I went out for a training ride and I tried something new! People have been telling me for years about this and I simply ignored them. So what is it?
Salt Sticks
Salt sticks! I do not know if you have tried them or not… but it might change your life! I generally faded after about 60 miles. I took one of these every half an hour and I swear that these salt capsules allowed me to push over 10% harder (I have a power meter so I can tell).
To be honest I do sweat quite a bit. I am not an ogre, or a hairy monster I am actually just a little guy… 160lbs, but the more I talk to people, the more I realize people are taking them quite often. Maybe this was common sense to everyone, but it was not to me.
If you ever get cramps, or have a jersey that looks like the picture above I can nearly guarantee that these electrolyte caps will change your life as well.
The salt caps replace the important sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium that you lost and contrary to what you might think, they allow you to rehydrate and absorb nutrients faster.
