Trent, Don't know what I'm more impressed with, the fact you finished and hit your time goal, or that you had enough left in the tank to write your account of the race within the day! Congrats - Do you really drink Coke? I would think that the carbonation wouldn't sit well? Tom

Back in the day before Garmins and Gu, we drank de-fizzed Coke for our ultras. We let it de-fizz overnight. The other thing we did was drink tea with tons of suger poured into it. In the earlier miles it was disgusting, but by late in the event you didn't even taste the sugar.
