Show Me How

ON THE RUN:
• Stash GU packets in the built-in pockets of your running and triathlon shorts and tops. Women can even tuck GU into their jog bras!
• On long, multi-hour runs or adventures carry GU in the Marathon'r Lite (holds 7 GU packets) or Marathon'r (holds 10 GU packets).
• For combined fluid and GU transport, strap the Distance Train'r around your waist (holds 4 packets of GU and a 22-oz. water bottle).
• To keep things super simple, the Grip 22-oz. water bottle with handle/GU holder is ideal for an hour-long run.

ON THE BIKE:
• Fill a Flask with multiple packets of GU and carry it in your jersey pocket so you can grab a shot of GU throughout your ride. Or use the Bike Mount to store it on your bike during a triathlon. • Carry single-serving packs of GU2O in powder form so you can mix up a fresh bottle of fluid as you need it.
• Individual gel packets can also be stored in a bento box style carrier, popular in triathlon racing.
• A nother trick from the triathlon pros is to tape gel packets along your bike's top tube. Only tape down the tear-off top tab; when you're ready to consume just grab a GU and the top will stay in place, your packet perfectly opened and ready to eat.

ON THE WATER :
• If catching waves is your passion, tuck waterproof GU packets under your wetsuit sleeve and avoid a hunger-driven early return to shore.

ON THE SNOW:
• In sub-freezing weather, keep GU underneath your outer layer and close to your skin to keep it warm and easy to squeeze.

IN GENERAL:
• Roll GU packets up like toothpaste tubes to make sure you benefit from every last tasty bit.
• Store empty packets in a spare pocket or under the hem of your bike shorts for later disposal, or take advantage of our Stash Your Trash Program.
