WOW! You are a goddamn BAMF!! That distance + altitude makes my legs ache in spirit. The fact that you finished and still wanted to break out into a run tells me you're absolutely gonna crush it at Louisville! Glad the nutrition/hydration strategy worked out well, too!

Badass! Well done!

I like hat fueling strategy too. You may already be planning on doing this, but just in case, I'd keep another super strength bottle in your bike special needs bag in the event you lose one on the road. Between iffy road conditions, tired hands, unknown vegetation on the side of the road, nice to have a little backup. I may be telling you something you've already thought of

5th sport of triathlon: planning for anything and everything, because 140 miles is too long for something not to go wrong.

Haha thanks

I have already planned to have a duplicate water bottle situation in my special needs bag, along with an extra tube, CO2, dry socks, and a bag of potato chips (because that's literally all I was craving near the end of the ride).

Any other tips from a veteran IronBAMF?

Mmmm yes, coke and potato chips were my jam at the end there.

No real meaningful tips - you've got every I dotted. Just be prepared for things to go wrong. It just truly is too long of a day for everything to go the way you want it to. Thinking that way helped me stay positive despite a pretty freaking nasty set back of my own. control the controllables, and enjoy your party
