Racing on a Hot Day? Try a Pre-Race Gatorade Slushie!

Recent studies have shown that racing while dehydrated can result in slower race times and that consuming a slushie before a race can increase your endurance. 

I figured that I could kill two birds with one stone by making a Gatorade Slushie.  Regular slushies are too sugary to be absorbed efficiently.

Here's my recipe:

Gatorade Slushie

1/2 scoop Gatorade Drink Powder

8 oz Cold Water

8 Ice Cubes

Put ice cubes in a blender.  Dissolve the Gatorade Drink Powder in the water.  Pour the mixture over the ice cubes.  Blend until smooth.  Drink immediately.  Watch out for "brain freeze".

Have you tried slushies before a race?  Does a different recipe work for you?  Tell me in the comments.
