    This is admittedly weak on pictures.  Didn't want to tote the camera this time.

      Sounds like a great race. I enjoyed reading about all you learned on the journey. For me too, a sloshy stomach is a sign that I might need some salts. Good job in continuing through the problems.  Nice eye-of-the-tiger finish photo.

       

      I'm strangely hungry for deep-dish pizza right now.

      Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.

        Great report. I'm taking your experience to heart as I take on my first mountain 50 miler this weekend.

          Congrats on a great race.  Crazy elevation!  Looks like a fun race but, sounds like the electrolyte issue really had you struggling.  I went with S! caps or (S!uceed)(as was recommended by a few on this forum) and have had great benefits.  Just tried them, they are a mix of potassium and sodium, and seem to really work.  Good Luck and congrats.
