I spent hours with Dr. Gary Buffington at last year's Trail Days and he felt 
that there is way too much consumption of electrolyte replacement drinks by 
casual athletes in our society.  And that water is the perfect means of 
rehydration for all but the elite athlete running marathons, triathlons, 
ultramarathons, etc.  He developed CONQUEST specifically for their needs.  
I'm taking his advice and sticking to water.

Happy trails,
