yesterday was my second oramm. the route was slightly different than in 2007 when we turned on the blue ridge parkway instead of crossing it. the route wasn't much longer but it did include a 10 minute downhill followed by another hour long climb.
8 hours 14 minutes 14 seconds, 62.02 miles, 10,581 feet of elevation gained, innumerable leg, arm, finger, and jaw (yes, jaw while trying to drink from the camelbak) cramps. two gu roctane, two enervit gels, four 100oz camelbak refills, 1 bag of beef jerkey, 4 bags clif shot bloks, 7 advils, 2 tylenol 500mg, four electrolyte mix bottles, two bananas, 18 hammer endurolytes, oh and did i mention it was 98 degrees??? 1 cbr kit at the coolest race in NC, priceless...
