Subject: Salt Tablets???

I have determined that on a hot morning rides (80 to 90F + RH 90 to 50%) I need to consume about 24 oz of fluids per hour.  Yes the dog loves licking my legs when I come home I'm have an Oly Oct 1 and a HIM on Nov 12th here in FL and need to understand electrolytes better. What's the word on salt tablets, worth it, not worth it, depends, more than enough electrolytes with Gatorade Endurance and gels?

An example of a Salt tab product is here:

Thanks, Don

Hammer Nutritions Endurolytes are where its at.  I've used them exclusively and they work.  I'm willing to bet that Endurolytes are used by more athletes than any other electrolyte product.

Click here and read the details on the product.  http://www.e-caps.com/za/ECP?PAGE=PRODUCT&CAT=ELECT&PROD.ID=4037&OMI=10104,10082,10047&AMI=10104

I've used the Hammer Endurolytes as well.  I got a sample in a race pack and tried them out.  They seem to work better than just Gatorade and gels during summer in VA - at least for me.

I use Endurolytes too; 3 per hour. I have a very high sweat rate and am a salty sweater. These are in addition to my Powergels with extra sodium

I started using Lava salts.  They have twice as much sodium as enduralytes...IE you can carry fewer of them and buy fewer of them,  and they work great. I think the web site is
