MF out-n-back w Maria. hot. slogfest. started out feeling okay but the OT just brutalized me. and MF is the easy section!!!
for anyone doing the OT100MTB, Dwayne and Peat TT'd the first 50 miles (start at 72/P and finish at 32/DD). took them 8hrs and they were smashed. this race is gonna be a soul-crusher. AR people will do well. bring lights.

Note
that's a wrap on my first multi-day race. just some general thoughts:
definitely did not except to get that much down time/sleep, and not sure if i'm happy about that or not. it was probably a good thing bc i still have a lot to learn about TAing fast out of a bin.
we were super conservative on water/food and each of us probably carried way too much in that department. but, the goal wasn't fast-n-light...it was steady-n-smart.
very, VERY happy w how we managed our effort throughout the race. we only focused on our steady-n-smart goal and not other teams passing us. we all had our low moments but really nothing catastrophic. paid off big time as we were able to push hard late on Day 3.
eating went well for me, although i packed way too much food. some of that was just a function of the course being short. things that worked great for me on course: CR333, pecan sandies, dark chocolate/salt MOJO bars, flat pretzels. good in TA: boost, tortillas w dehydrated eggs, oatmeal, fruit cups. i never really got sick of anything, these were just extra good.
gear that went well for me: CEP calf sleeves + swiftwick aspire socks. loose shorts for trekking and paddling. arm coolers. CHAPSTICK!!!!!
not a lot of nav required for the race. that was a bummer. but hell's half acre did not disappoint.
i'm sure i'm loaded w fatigue but no soreness/niggles/pain. actually the worst thing is my bottom lip - sunburnt and swollen. but that should resolve itself in a day or so.
surprised more teams didn't run CX tires. I thought hard about it but at the last minute ran out of time. even with the advertised singletrack (that didn't actually make it into the final course), I think CX tires would have been way faster.
