Ultra experience:5 time EB finisher, 1 twelve hour race with a team, and a Cranksgiving or 2.
Hydration/nutrition set up:2 L bladder (1/2 full) of water, 1 L bladder with V fuel. Started on water and switched to V fuel after 2 hours. Rotated back to straight water and V fuel was gone (2 hours). Ate cliff shots and V fuel gel when drinking water and switched to real food (kind bar, peanut butter) when on V fuel.
Result: …
