It was raining and there were lots of water in the different Aid Stations but it was proven by the MASTERS runners that all the things that I mentioned in the title of this post could easily mix in their stomachs and gave them enough fuel to recover their tired legs and bodies immediately after running a distance of 15 kilometers!
