How do you get past the RNY rules while fueling during endurance sports?
I too ignore the rules on my long runs. I use primarily sports chews, Shot Blocks are my favorite but I have also used GU Chomps and Luna Moons. The thing I like about the chews is I can split up a "serving" which is harder to due with the gels. So instead of 1 gel every hour (or whatever your interval is), I do 3 blocks an hour, about 20 minutes apart. This way I don't get the rock in the stomach feeling but get constant lovely little bursts of energy.
Good luck!

I've used those Cliff Shot Bloks too... not bad (I'm a wild cherry girl), and decidedly less messy than the GU when you aren't using it all. Thanks for reminding me of those...
I've also used the sports beans. i like the taste of them less, but they are smaller than the blocks and easier to chew/breathe. :)
