Hi Keith,

Thanks for the reply! I saw you and Alex come in just after our little posse finished up.

Seven hours sleep! I'd like to be you when I grow up. Hope Alex was feeling better when you finished. I never got behind in my nutrition (I'm really careful about eating enough) but I certainly had my moments when my stomach was not thrilled (mostly between 11pm & midnight on Saturday). I have some friends who seem to have cast irons stomachs. They can push and push and eat anything in sight without trouble. My friend Richard worked his way through 2 pounds of salami on Race Across Oregon a few years ago. I was his crew chief and while everyone else was looking for bland oatmeal in the middle of the night, he was chowing down on salami on artisan bread.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I'm planning to do the full summer series, finishing up with the MacKenzie-Aufderheide 600K. That one looks to be a fair bit harder than the Oregon Coast 600K, so if I survive THAT, then I'll probably sign up for PBP.

Susan
