Energy Gel

So I haven't done a "product comparison" in a while, and I figured I might as well because they'll have 2nd Surge available on the City of Oaks course and I pretty much know nothing about that gel. So, we'll take the "chocolate" flavor from 2nd Surge, GU, PowerGel, Hammer, and Clif Shot.
  • Calories: PowerGel-120; Clif Shot- 110; Gu- 100; 2nd Surge, Hammer- 90
  • Carbs: PowerGel- 28g; Hammer, Clif Shot- 22g; GU- 20g; 2nd Surge- 18g
  • Sodium: PowerGel- 200mg; 2nd Surge- 115mg; Clif Shot- 60mg; GU- 40mg; Hammer- 35mg
  • Potassium: Clif Shot- 80mg; GU, PowerGel- 40mg; PowerGel- 20mg; 2nd Surge- 15mg
2nd Surge has 3g of protein, whereas the other gels have no protein. The Hammer Gel also contains an amino acid blend.

Might have to pick up some up and try it out. For more information on 2nd Surge, visit their website!
