Pre-race routine:

Arrived at the race site by 0545 in order to loosen up. Stretched out, ate a banana and drank some gatorade.
Event warmup:

No warmup, went in cold because I didn't have any running shoes. Remember to bring two sets of shoes because one will be in the run bag.

I need to fit my bike better. It seems to get uncomfortable after about 60 miles. I also need to work on better nutrition and diluting my race bottles more.

1. Ride greater than 6 hours at least 3-4 times

3. Dilute drink

I fell apart mentally after around mile 8. I was exhausted from the bike and only really pulled my self together around mile 18.
What would you do differently?:

1. Train long bike rides with at least a 45 minute run afterwards
2. Run LD every week at least 2 hours

The bike

Event comments:

It's obvious my endurance on the bike is lacking. I need to solve the nutrition plan. The endurolyte tabs worked great. At least 400 calories per hour mostly from liquids and gels. However, I should eat some solid food at the midway point like a bagel sandwich.
