i don't remember eating any solid food last yrs,.i only eat GU and and water.
and i was misereable at mile 80s.then i die at the end.thats was my mistake.
fast pacing for sure at the beggining and lots of time for recovery.just stick with the fast group at the start.
???went out hard at beginning felt miserable at the end???
Maybe it was the fact that you did not eat enough calories but I would guess that going out too fast at the start didn't help. I will plan on replenishing calories as well as proper pacing...hopefully

Chimney Rock with Woody
Saturday after work I met Woody at CR. This was the 2nd time since January I've had my Cannondale Flash(aluminum) out. The bottom bracket was stiff as hell when I started pedaling the cranks to lube the chain in my basement...oh well it should loosen up.
After about 30 minutes of riding the BB was kinda funny, like it was sticking occasionally...enough to produce slack in the chain when I wasn't spinning, which resulted in some ghost shifting. I was having too much fun chasing Woody to be too concerned with it. I must say that the geometry of my Cdale has me sitting more upright, which is comfortable but kinda leaves me feeling like I'm not in the cockpit. If I don't lean forward enough to weight the front tire I wash out the front wheel and lose the bike, which I did on occasion at CR. Woody is always solid on his 9er SS, if they had a race here he would clean up. Germy, Clapper, Kirt & Woody own CR.
The Search For Boulder-Dash
Jamie had a soccer game after work on Sunday in Morristown. The best part of the game was when one of our players got a red card for thowing the other player 3'. The boys are 15 and play more like men now, which also means they are a lot more agressive. The game was physical and our player was getting frustrated by his defenders hands on his back, so he lashed out. Even though we played down a man after that, the boys took it up a notch to hold out for a scoreless tie. Reminded me of when Tommy Lasorda or Billy Martin would get kicked out of a game, the players would wake the fuck up and take no shit.
Yes the search for boulder dash at Jungle. After the soccer game I went to jungle solo in search of boulder dash. I started up animal shoot, took some single track to Warthog, climbed Otter to Rhino. The whole time I was doing this the ghost shifting from yesterday had gotten worse, which made riding smoothly impossible. I muddled my way to the start of Boon when my der. hanger snapped...SUCK. Well actually it would have really sucked if it happened at the bottom of Boon. I was pretty much at the highest elevation in JH when this happened. Coasting my way down the roads I was able to get back to the car without much effort.
So my quest to find Boulder-dash continues, my BB and DH are in need of repair and I'll be fucked if I can't get another DH by the Wildcat Epic 100 on Saturday. I am going to be optimistic and say I'll get this shit straightened out by then. I'll let you know how I make out tomorrow, stay tuned.
