Aero bars don't offer much selection, and I probably could not have stayed in them down all the descents. Surprisingly, the guys coming in to the start/finish time station at 1:45 or 2-hour intervals during the night were lucid and chipper, and they all managed to come to the race breakfast a few minutes after they were done--and stay awake!UltraMickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290716910861940433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25342834.post-36886652224208669522008-09-11T12:26:00.000-07:002008-09-11T12:26:00.000-07:00Congrats!Did you choose to not use fancy aerogear ...Congrats!<BR/><BR/>Did you choose to not use fancy aerogear because you thought that comfort was paramount in a race that long?<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how I feel about ultra races, especially 24-hour-plus ones.

The packaging says glucose is the carbohydrate most easily absorbed by the body. It works for me!UltraMickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290716910861940433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25342834.post-84076901922945113502008-09-08T20:34:00.000-07:002008-09-08T20:34:00.000-07:00What's your take on Gleucos?
