With IMFL being a 2 loop out and back there will be people out there for hours and hours. If it's disheartening now it will really get you down then, and nobody wants that.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-23599619760683640852011-10-03T23:04:03.855-04:002011-10-03T23:04:03.855-04:00That sucks, at least you did itThat sucks, at least you did itBig Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-50109867829998686772011-10-03T12:16:55.075-04:002011-10-03T12:16:55.075-04:00Oh geez.

Running has given me a lot, but it's sure taken a lot of the fun out of pre-race eating. Hopefully you take less time getting nutrition worked out than I have.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-18429405156280545232011-10-03T00:20:39.939-04:002011-10-03T00:20:39.939-04:00None of that sounded like fun but I can relate!

Bummer about the gastro issues - turtles are the worst and sprinting for any kind of potty is awful. I'm totally impressed with the long bike following that. Ouch!
