Help! Cannot find lemon-lime Powerade ANYWHERE!!!

[verticalchaos]

I've searched high and low (and even searched at Disney!!) for lemon-lime Powerade, but to no avail! I find red, blue, and even orange. But NO lemon-lime apparently exists for sale! I'd wanted to practice with it to make sure I would be ok, but this is proving impossible!

Would I be ok practicing with one of the other flavors and assume if my stomach likes that it will like the lemon-lime?

That's probably your best bet. Depending on how sensitive your stomach is, it might not be a big deal anyway. I've never had a problem with any flavor of Powerade or Gatorade, so I gave up on training with specific ones for each race a long time ago. And who knows - if you can't find yellow, maybe they can't either. I seem to recall some blue Powerade being served last year, so you could end up with both.

Actually, unless you are mixing it from powder it is impossible anyway. The formulas for pre-mix and powder are different. The largest difference if that pre-mix contains HFCS.

Do this. Take the blue ( it has been on course, also) and cut it by half with water, then that will give you a good approximation of what you will see in the race.

Ok, thanks guys! I can find the blue in abundance! Yay!
