Jason, I'm racing the GH 24 hrs this year coming from TX. Wondering if you remember how much fuel you went through. thanks

The first REAL, HONEST question you have to ask yourself is whether you are there to COMPETE or to PARTICIPATE. That one simple choice changes everything. I have done a few of the 6 hour events and at 57 yrs old I have to tell myself over and over that I am there to participate. I even write it on a piece of tape on my crossbar pad. It's hard to go slow at the start but it's all about conservation of energy. As an Ironman participant I would plan at least a couple of one hour naps to clear your head and absorb some nutrition. Good job man!

Thanks! I'm glad you're still out there getting after it! My Dad still races with me in his mid 60's and still goes fast. I ran a heart rate monitor and an ear bud to make sure I kept my heartrate in a range I knew I could sustain. You are right, it is very easy to let yourself start to push and that will your lower your odds of finishing quickly.

Good work! After 15 years of not racing I decided the GH24 was a good idea 😂 Lost a fuel pump on the 2nd lap. Fixed it and then broke three ribs on the fourth lap. It was everything in my soul to get to the finish.

Thats a tough break! Talk about jumping back in the deep end. I've ridden with cracked and dislocated ribs its mighty painful. the course was destroyed and rough as can be by the end. I feel for you!

I was rewatching your video and forgot about pickle juice. Drink as much kosher dill pickle juice as you can possibly get into you. It is the very best thing to keep cramps away, keep energy in your arm and leg muscles, and clears you head. I pack energy gels with me on track and eat a couple when my head or body really starts to break down. Have to keep the glucose levels up. Also, ear plugs will increase your energy level. You would be amazed how much energy the constant noise takes away.

There are companies that sell pickle juice in those little 5-hour energy type of containers and I always keep two of those in my pack for Enduros. I didn't really have hardly any issues with cramping in the 24 like I did when I did the 12hr in Colorado. I also got my electrolyte & calorie mix in my water more figured out before the 24hr. I am a huge fan of the gels, I have found great results with the Hammer gels. I was running a sound canceling Ear bud on one side switching back and forth (mostly to keep track of my heartrate, I'll have to try running it both next time to see what the difference is. I think my biggest problem was that I didn't do enough muscular endurance training on my upper body. My core and my legs were great the whole race. Thanks for the return viewing!

Awesome! I found your channel yesterday and just finished all the episodes. You did great! Just curious, how long was the recovery process to the point where you didn't hurt?

Thanks! I was saddle sore and my knees aches for a couple days. My finger tips where I pull the clutch were numb for about two weeks.
