I've heard both sides to the hydration pack, but I like the idea having water whenever you need it. I didn't know about fuel belts. I think I'm going to have to go to the store today to check out some of these products.Brookenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15655604.post-19422351905706345252012-03-27T21:37:44.407-06:002012-03-27T21:37:44.407-06:00I do one of two things:

The benefit of this is you can just rip it off the safety pin and chuck the packaging at the next water stop.<br /><br />2. More often though, I like to run with a hydration pack. I find that the water stations can be hectic and I lose time by trying to drink out of those dang paper cups. Most hydration packs have a pouch where I store my fuel. If you aren't a fan of running with the water bottles (because they add weight) then you can get a fuel belt, which just contains a pouch and/or elastics along the belt that hold your fuel. Honestly every runner should have one of these anyway. It's a great place to store your phone, mace, fuel, keys, etc....stuff that you should have when running alone.<br /><br />Last comment. Most races have a fuel station about mile 6 or 7, where they give the gel. I hate the gel. Tastes nasty. I am not seeing anything on the Salt Lake Marathon page specifying if they'll have this, so I would plan as if they don't. But for future races, you might want to check the site to see if you can just plan on grabbing fuel at the station rather than bringing along your own.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03699659474022945603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15655604.post-2298223089969458602012-03-27T21:00:02.849-06:002012-03-27T21:00:02.849-06:00Hey, I have a question for you.

Someone told me to safety pin a sandwich bag inside your shorts, but that seems like it would be way akward.Brookenoreply@blogger.com
