Because I left my blackstrap molasses in Michigan (and the store I was shopping didn’t have it), I was forced to revamp my recipe. This is actually quite tasty. It pretty much tastes like limeade.
- 3T raw unfiltered honey
- juice from 2 limes
- 1/2t celtic sea salt
- 2 liters of water (or dilute the above ingredients to taste)
This is good, but I don’t think it’s as good as the previous. I got a cramp in my calf on mile 15 with this. Of course that might have more to do with the change in altitude. But it sure does taste good.
Hello again Brian,
If you are thinking the leg cramps came from not enough potassium you might try eating some Kiwi a few days before your race. Or in general.
I had a consult with Jeff G. this week for… well you know, and he said one Kiwi has 600% of the vitamin C in an orange, and 400% of the potassium in a banana. Calorie wise it’s a good exchange. One Kiwi verses ten oranges/bananas. Jeff asked if he could get me to eat ONE Kiwi a week. I told him that wouldn’t be the problem, it would be keeping me from eating all the Kiwis in the bag in one week. Organically grown Kiwi are sold in bags of 6-9. I’m certainly not going to let them go to waste so I’ll have to eat them ALL or find someone who enjoys them to share with. The scond option’s not too hard since I work in a daycare… Cat
