Sushi. Sep 2021 4:27pm, 23 Sep 2021 31,694 posts	Quote Pin Sushi. I have High5 electrolyte tablets that I use in my hydration vest. So had planned to use that along side water from tables. I use High5 gels too which I notice are what they are supplying this time. I'm a little reluctant to change what's worked on my 20milers on race day esp as I've now not run for the best part of 2 weeks. I've run into problems in a previous mara and ended up being rehydrate in the medical tent at the finish. I'd rather wear my vest which weighs barely anything and I'm used to than end up like that again. It wasn't hot that day either. I do have some Fetch logos cut from old tops that I can attach to vest though. This is presuming I even make the start.
