When I got home from work today, there was a Fedex package waiting for me.  I looked at the return label, and it was from Scott Surface of OutsidePR, an ad agency that represents Gu.  I asked him to send me some of the new Gu flavor to try out, after reading about it on Steve in a Speedo’s blog.     I was so happy to get the package because I totally love Gu!

I ripped open the box…(click any image to enlarge)

Then I poured out the contents all over the floor. I felt like a little kid with a stocking full of holiday goodies…

Guloot

I posted “Look at all the Gu Loot!” on my Facebook status, and my sister commented   “Goot”.  She always was the clever one!   All in all I counted 24 Gu’s. There are are several flavors of Gu Chomps, four Pineapple Gu Roctane, one Chocolate Mint holiday Gu and a whole box of Vanilla Gingerbread Gu.

And…(drumroll please)

Four pouches of the top secret new Gu Flavor!  I will try it out on my bike ride tomorrow and post all about it.  The Gu Roctane I will save for my next race.   I always use Roctane during my races.  That stuff really works to help maintain mental focus!   Thanks, OutsidePR, for the Goot!

Due to new laws, I am obligated to post a disclaimer like below when I get free stuff…please know that I would never mislead you – my faithful bloggy peeps – about a product.  If I say I love it, I really do love it.    🙂   And if you read my blog regularly, you know I use Gu at my races, and I that buy it in bulk quantities from http://www.TriZone.com – they have good prices and free shipping over $75!  Bulk quantities because I eat Gu every 30-45 minutes.   During my heavy Ironman training, I was training 20 hours per week.  ThatsalottaGu – I’ll let you do the  math!
