Endurance Athletes May Benefit From Investigating this Statement

This quote is from an article in the Crossfit Journal written by an attendee at Crossfit Endurance War Camp.

"The most powerful single sentence of the nutrition lecture
concerned sugar, specifically in the form of the gels and
goos ubiquitous to endurance events. Simply put, if you
are an endurance athlete, then you operate in the oxidative
metabolic pathway. This is the fat-burning pathway. Why
would you try to fuel yourself with sugar when that is not
what your body is using?"

Wow! No one must be reading this blog, cuase I would have expected a lot of comments. Even in the Journal where the article was posted, there was only one person who commented with regard to this. It is not sound from a physiological stand point.
