Dirty Kansa vs. Alaska Ultrasport

Pop quiz time kids. Which race is more awful, DK or the Ultrasport?

17 Days LEFT.........

Well, yesterday I mailed off my drop bags to Finger Lake and Rhone. Lots of Hammer stuff and bacon and butter and candy and Little Debbies and socks and batteries and hand warmers and coffee and and and big Surly tubes. I'm sure I forgot four things but the bags were at their max weight. It seems like so much stuff but I wanted to stuff more stuff in.

I hope I sent everything I need to survive. But, I have a habit of way overpacking and hauling around a bunch of junk I never use.

My self and a few others are going to do a ride tomorrow morning around ten ish, let me know if you want to meet up with us.

19 Days to Go.

Today I start dialing in my pills. I just got a giant box from Hammer Nutrition. I've been using Perpetuem for the last few years, it keeps me energized for hours and I don't get hunger pains. Now with 12 to 20 hour consecutive race days I feel like I need to step it up. Over the next two weeks I'll be adding a new component from Hammer to my diet and see how it helps.

Today Endurolytes. I know it sounds crazy but I loose a ton of water through sweat on cold days and end up cramping in the fourth and fifth hours if a ride. Today let's see if I can take care if this with a few handfuls of Endurolytes.
