paul a Aug 2007 6:10pm, 1 Aug 2007 226 posts	0 paul a Gatorade is OK, but you should ideally take your own energy drink and plan to take water on the way round from the numerous feed stations. There is a gel station at about 17 miles but random flavours and only Power Bar variant. I was handed a raspberry ripple and nearly threw up, quickly ditched it and took my own SiS as planned.
