Hi,
After watching Cam Wurf consume a mind-boggling 28 gels during his record-breaking IRONMAN Texas bike split (seriously, TWO HUNDRED grams of carbs per hour!), I got curious about the economics of all these gels.
With the economy being what it is right now, I figured there's no better time to break down the actual cost per gram of carb. And after crunching the numbers, I discovered something that surprised even me: the higher-carb gels are actually giving you way more bang for your buck (plus less wrappers to deal with).
The Best Value Gels (Cost Per Gram of Carbs)
If you're a maple syrup fan (and who isn't?), today's absolute best deal is the 🍁 Endurance Tap 31-serving bottle that works out to just $0.058 per gram – plus you get the reusable flask included.
This isn't just about saving money – it's about maximizing performance too. Just yesterday, Dan Green won the brutal Cocodona 250 (congrats Dan!) using some of these exact products. The high-carb revolution isn't just for pros anymore. I've seen firsthand how consistent fueling with these higher-dose products helps everyday athletes avoid the dreaded bonk and recover faster.
Not sure which gel works best for you? I put together a High-Carb Gel Sampler Pack featuring all the top options I mentioned above. It's the most cost-effective way to find your personal rocket fuel without committing to a full box.
Don't forget, Shipping is FREE.

P.S. If you're curious about Cam's full fueling strategy from IRONMAN Texas, check out last Sunday's email. The way he rigged his aero bottle to hold 21 gels is pure genius (or insanity – you decide).
