gina,

Hope your duathlon went well.

I actually like the GU and it was extremely helpful during the half marathon. The heat and the hills were brutal! I actually had to walk a little bit of "the hill" (400 ft incline in a little over 1/2 mile). All in all, my time of 2:08:20 wasn't that bad considering the conditions. If I didn't have the three packs of GU and kept pouring water over my head, I think I would have wilted on the course. There were a lot of ambulances aiding runners from heat exhaustion and other ailments.

Thanks for your support!
