If you like being able to drink water along with your energy gel you WILL LOVE this GelBot! The great Scott with Outside PR was awesome enough to offer this bottle for me to try out. Since I really wanted to do good at my last 10K (read all about it Here!) I knew that would be the perfect race to try it out (even though I generally don't and wouldn't recommend using new products for races).
So what is the GelBot?? Here is what the Hydrapak site has to say:
The Gel-Bot delivers two performance essentials, fuel and hydration, in one easy to use sport bottle. This patent-pending design lets you fuel or hydrate with just one hand. Perfect for racing or total gel addicts. All the Gel-Bot components can be taken apart and easily cleaned.
Here is me loading my gel into the gel chamber (have I told you I LOVE Pineapple Roctane GU!! If you are a follower you have heard me say that several times:) At first I thought this would be a messy process, having to squeeze the gel out of the package and into a bottle?? To my surprise it was super easy and I didn't make ANY messes!! I used two gels to put into the gel chamber and I am not too sure it would have held another full one but maybe a half .
Wanna try a GelBot bottle for yourself?? Your in luck (maybe:) cause its

Such a simple idea, can't believe someone hasn't made this earlier!

My problem is that I often *don't* hydrate while running! I need something I can carry with me like this!
I like the Hydrasleeve from the website. THat looks sort of compact.

I carry a bottle and drink my water that way. It has a pouch to hold food.
I follow you... this is a great product. Would love to have one myself.
Right now I am using a water bottle in a pack I wear on my back, for runs longer than an hour.
I am about to link to your post on my blog sidebar.

I would love to have the smaller Gel-Bot! Perfect for my needs!!
In runs from 6-10 I usually take a bottle and a couple gels. Longer than 10 (or if it's really hot) I wear a CamelBak that holds up to 3 liters. Under 6, I might bring a bottle if it's really hot, but usually just dump a bit on my head or swish and spit the water.

The Gelbot is what I want to try. I've wanted one forever. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a running pack for the long runs or races I know with few aid stations. I have to keep hydrated. I also have a handheld.

Went to their website. Other than the Gel-bot, I'd like to try the Soft Flask.
How do I hydrate? Insufficiently. But I'm getting better. I just bought a new handheld water bottle holder, so I'm hoping that will help. Tonight will be my first time running with it. Wish me luck!
