At altitudes above ~7800ft your body will shift to a glycogen heavy preference because it's the easiest nutrient to use. Plus there's a good chance of protein (and particularly fat) wrecking or shutting down your GI tract. Catabolism is minimal for a one time 9 hour event anyway. In training I think it is beneficial however. But each person is unique! For some it works and other's it doesn't. Me.. not so much. <br /> I'm bummed we didn't get a chance to have you over one last time! <br /><br />Claus- Drafting is huge at Pb. The middle miles are flat to rolling. Putting my head down and time trialing is my thing. I hope to pass a few hundred people between mile 28 and 40... if no one wants to help then that's fine with me. But getting in to a fast group on those flats is useful.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-36097917084805957122011-08-11T15:40:15.980-06:002011-08-11T15:40:15.980-06:00Drafting is rarely a concern in a real XC MTB race...Drafting is rarely a concern in a real XC MTB race, but is there some paved parts of the Leadville course where sitting the right place will save you a lot of energy, supposing your not in the front, pulling the bunch...

How many calories/carbs are you estimating you'll need? Is it different since you've been eating Paleo for daily nutrition?<br /><br />Have a super day!Michelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-40213410718112950842011-08-11T12:44:39.890-06:002011-08-11T12:44:39.890-06:00I'm excited to hear how it goes this weekend f...I'm excited to hear how it goes this weekend for you. But I'm going to predict you're being waaay too conservative on the 8:45. Maybe that's just your way of making sure you don't fall off your bike flying down powerline early on. But If I were betting I'd put my money on a sub 8 hour time.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489311127532059233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-16093107790161089812011-08-11T09:00:39.655-06:002011-08-11T09:00:39.655-06:00Might be the best header pic yet. and me likes th...Might be the best header pic yet. and me likes the post. <br /><br />I am trying to think of some hop stupid crazy run bike insanity post all this that includes ding dong ditching Sweeney.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.com
