A friend of mine came along for the ride today. It was great to have the company and the miles flew by. 60 miles in.
We headed through Chatfield State Park which I have never been through and thought it was a nice area. I might take the kids there sometime.
I took 3 bottles of Gatorade this time and a Cliff bar. It helped a little bit but still wasn't enough. I blew up again. However it was at mile 55 so that was a bit better. I have been asking around on different options. Gels (wont work as they are minging), Cliff Blocks (will try), Ensure (will try) and Accelerade are all things I have heard this week. Ill be looking into it a bit more for next week.

Glad you had a good ride today. I ran 13 and felt awesome! First time I have felt that good in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that Chatfield is a great park with lots to do. BUT, a little kid was bit by a rattle snake at the Botanical Gardens this summer. Obviously that can happen anywhere but there were a lot of people in the area when it happened so I thought I would pass the info along.
Keep up the blog... I love reading it.
