[RC] GL loading in time - Aaron Turnage

Tom,

Ive been reading your Optimized Nutrition Book and
your posts on Ridecamp and am just fascinated. So much
of what you say makes PERFECT sense but seems contrary
to the popular opinion. I had a question about GL
usage though. You recommend dosing 15 min prior to the
loop and then 1/2 to 2/3 way through... Do you have
this in more of a time sense? Im assuming one would
need to dose approximately every two hours as that is
when the curve starts to decline, but wasnt sure on
that. My horse and I are not conditioned for speed yet
so our loop times are probably much slower than the
competitors you have worked with. 

Also, what are some non-fast acting carbs that may be
able to provide a slower but more steady glucose
stream? What sort of feedstuffs would provide a slow
and steady increase and decline in glucose levels?
Forage/Hay? Im only about 1/2 way through the book so
that may be mentioned in there....

Thank you for your time,
