As I was doing some business in the home office, I was skimming the newest issue of Endurance news. Usually, not very interesting, but found this little nugget. I don't know what age group he was in, but my spirits soared! I would have obliterated this age group! (unfortunately, it is probably the 75-79 age group).
Completed Timberman, came in first in
my age group and had a fabulous time
during the entire race. My goals were to
finish in less than 8 hours and to enjoy
the race. I finished in about 7:40 and
pretty much cherished every mile of the
experience.
I followed your nutrition plan and
my energy was consistently good
throughout. No stomach issues. I made
up an 8-scoop bottle of Perpetuem for
the bike and used my Camelback with
water in it. Took an Endurolyte about
every 30 to 45 minutes on the bike and
every 30 minutes on the run. Ran with a
flask of Hammer Gel which I took small
swallows of, periodically chased down
with water.
Anyway... just wanted to thank you for
helping to make my first 70.3 an ecstatic
experience.

Gotta hand it to the Hammer marketing folks, we all read the "Endurance News," which is so much more fun to get than the Hammer catalog.
I like your thinking Jack, we need to start focusing on cleaning up in the 75-79 age group. Hope we can actually climb the podium because we'll be crushing.
8 scoops of Perpetuem makes my bowles jingle.
