I ended up pulling the plug at 48 miles because it really just felt like I was a little cooked.

This year after I had an Achilles issue and started rebuilding, I decided, all right, I'm going to try a high carbohydrate diet in order to attempt to be able to target some of these higher carbohydrate per hour.

Ranges that we're seeing, I have found historically for 12 hours, I can usually tolerate somewhere around 600

milligrams of caffeine.

So I really like a set up where it's about two thirds gel, one third liquid carbohydrate.

So the way I like to set that up is I do tie a fair bit of stuff into my fluid intake.

People are going to differ with this.

Some people aren't going to want to do that.

They're going to want to separate that more so they have more individual control.

And I can totally appreciate that.
