I made it 50.2 miles yesterday. 15 of that was pretty ugly, but I made it. Lessons learned: sunscreen rubs off in unexpected places. And chamois cream says reapply as needed for a reason. I went with chamois 'buttress for now and it worked. The food I used tiny dill pickles, cuties, and my Gu packs. I ate small amounts at 15 mile stops and didn't seem bothered. I ate a tiny piece of a Clif bar at 30 miles.

I adjusted my cleats last week and my feet were ok. Thanks for the tips and keep them coming. I am not certain I can make 68 miles, but I am still learning.
