“I really like taking a Neversecond C30+ Caffeine Gel about 15 minutes before a race. It’s an easy way to get some extra carbs and caffeine right before the start, without feeling heavy on my stomach. It’s become a consistent part of my pre-race routine and helps me feel ready to go when the gun goes off.”
