My current favorite is the Amacx Turbo Gel. 40 grams of carbs/160 calories. Thinner and easier to get down than Gu. A cheaper option is CARBS gels. 50 grams of carbs. All natural. Gigantic. For me, it's just a bit sweeter than I prefer. Both can be found at The Feed.

A2: Lake Waramaug 100K. A 7.6-mile loop around a gorgeous lake. 4 aid stations per loop staffed by friendly volunteers. 50 mile and 50K distances, too. Great for ultra newbies.
