US Long O Champs at Thacher State Park, NY. Had a late start time today. Knew that calories would be a problem, so I at a huge breakfast (2 waffles) and then 2 donuts and a Gu in the last hour before running. Also drank alot and took 5 Gu's plus two food stations during the race. Seemed to make a difference...didn't get that apathy I usually get about 1/2 way through a long course. Even had to stop to pee twice during the race...was drinking two cups at all the water controls because it was warm and sunny with no leaf cover. Did terribly on the first three controls, but then settled in to the race.
