Good ride. Last long training day before the HIM. Was second rider in, but only because I skipped the rest stops. I think this was my longest-ever ride without stopping.

Great job. You might want to think about more calories during the race though. You're going to need more energy.

Oh yeah...I know. I had an Egg McMuffin before and took 5 gels and 56oz of PB endurance, so that's only 930 calories, which means my claoric deficit was around 1700 calories. It was cold, so I didn't need a lot of fluids. I was planning on stopping at one aid station, but bagged it. Still felt really good.

I'll eat more on race day...
