Thanks Northwood_DK and Fidatelo. I did end up bringing my Nathan belt with me on my run to try it out and filled each bottle with gatorade. I decided to go with the plan of taking a few sips every 20 minutes. (My run I estimated would be pretty close to 2 hours on the nose)
For the most part it worked fine. The belt didn't bother me any, I had it turned around backwards so didn't even notice it there at all to be honest. I don't know if I noticed any help from the drinking, but it probably is one of those things that I would notice not having been drinking once I got about 90 minutes in I guess.
I did get a good amount of air bubbles in when I drank though but a few burps or so after each drink seemed to solve that problem.
