I usually eat a Powerbar at the start, and bring along some gels, or concentrate that is mixed with water that give you the same result as the gels. The concentrate, when mixed in a 24 oz bottle, are the same equivalent as 2 1/2 gel packs. Whats nice about the concentrate is that it comes in the same kind of pack that the gels come in, so you dont have to worry about powder getting all over the place.
Also, the gels are not as thick as the gels that I was used to taking. You dont have to consume tons of water.
