A common theme was that not eating enough or not eating soon enough was a sure-fire recipe for disaster. Being vegan, I was somewhat limited in what I could eat at the aid stations! Believe me, after 18 hours of running, nothing sounded better than a warm quesadilla! I knew I needed calories and salt and I would get them any way possible! Chips and pickles are an excellent source of sodium (and delicious!). I ate a lot of potatoes with salt too!

If you can do that on chips and pickles I need to adjust my nutrition! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618808134120537734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668761559970716633.post-38046872149893422492017-03-01T14:01:37.883-08:002017-03-01T14:01:37.883-08:00Hi there!

I got my electrolytes (primarily sodium) the old fashioned way: potato chips and pickles (LOL). Regarding walking the hills, no, I did not walk ALL the uphill sections. I probably ran, albeit a lot slower, up many of them on the first lap and on the second lap Eddy and I still ran the very easy inclines. I would estimate we walked every single incline after 62.5 miles. Some of the Dunes of Hell were so steep that walking was the only option. I think what is important to point out is that I was very aware of my energy output and that I would be out there for a long time. I took it very easy during the early stages of the race when I could have pushed harder.

Three questions: did you use wheat bread or white bread for the PBJ's, did you take any electrolyte tablets and also did you really walk all the uphill sections in the dunes? Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618808134120537734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668761559970716633.post-53924254397637227012017-03-01T07:28:23.076-08:002017-03-01T07:28:23.076-08:00Cheers, Mathew!
