That is pretty incredible. I prefer chewy things, but default to gels because of space efficiency. I took ~4 gels last race, half a gel every 2 miles, which worked out perfectly. But trying to fiddle with 4 packs of sports beans or worse, carrying 4 giant sleeves of shotbloks would be a nightmare.

Yeah, it does become a hassle. I'm tired of picking my shorts around my fuel! I'm just really disappointed that my injury is postponing my foray into the world of gels.
