Beyond Limits: Testing sweat for Tour de France performance

[@Phillyisalwayssunny]

Really eye-opening. As someone who races every week in Dallas during the summer months, this really has me thinking. Skratch Daily has helped a bunch already

I am also in the Metroplex and do the 100k up Grand Fondo events. I had a terrible time over the last couple of years with leg cramps right in the middle of a rally. The last 5 rally's this season, I started drinking a bottle with "Skratch Hyper Hydration" on the drive to the event. Only thing that I have used that has worked. Zero leg cramps , best thing that I have ever tried. The taste gets some bad raps, I think it taste ok, and frankly I don't care what it taste like, with the end results.

Great video. If you want to know more, he went deep into this topic on a recent CyclingTips podcast. He tells how to find out how sweaty your salt is without that little device. It's the episode from June 10th.

DXchulo can‘t find a podcast with that date 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@christianegelmair7494]

DXchulo found it. It is actually the one from June 12th

Allen rocks for learning new information on how to keep yourself going.

[@the_unattached_cyclist]

Allen makes me nervous with that pocket knife. Get some blunt nose shears please Allen. 😂

[@BrianMcNay]

Great stuff!! Keep it coming!!

[@Dennis4523]

What?? This series is really teaching me about nutrition and how to be optimizing

[@jen3800]

so how do us plebes figure this out? can i add too much sodium? i always salt my drinks. i use electrolyte tabs mixed with honey and salt in my blender. it seems to work well enough but I would love to know the numbers.

[@carloslopezcolon4387]

It would be nice if Allen does like scientific Q&A

[@VeloNewsMagazine]

That's a good idea. We'll see if we can get something like that going. Thanks!

[@suburbancyclist1535]

So beyond limits is basically long Skratch labs advertisements?

[@StanislavGrabchev]

Of course

[@stuartdryer4089]

Perhaps, but I teach physiology at a medical school and the concepts here are true and you it works well with other electrolyte drinks.

[@oitotheworld23]

Yes. But is that a complaint? A man’s gotta make a buck, the content is interesting, and it’s free. So what’s there to complain about?

[@suburbancyclist1535]

Not a complaint at all. I actually use Skratch and enjoy it. But label it as an infomercial when it is

[@stuartdryer1352]

@@suburbancyclist1535 I don't really see it as an infomercial since most of the video is about sodium balance due to sweating. Scratch is just a means to deal with sodium depletion but the main message is that one size doesnt fit all when it comes to replacement.

I am salty sweater. My clothes and my skin turn white, I transport so much salt through my salt, that it becomes visible deposition on the surface.
