Bar Codes And Such
I had two goals for Lotoja this year:
1) Finish in under 10 hours
2) Do the entire race on foods with bar codes.
I knew from past experience that I wouldn't be able to stomach real food. So I loaded up with EFS gel & GU packs, Carborocket and water.
I missed both goals.
My time was 10:04
I ate a banana at the last feed zone
In short, the weekend was a total failure.

Time to retire from LOTOJA like me and find other races/events to compete in.
Failure? Not even!!!....you're amazing! Now... no more LOTOJA!
Bold goals. Just missed it.
How about completely artificial food/drink for next year?
What Rick forgets to mention is the fact that he was sick the whole race and stopped to make sure a fellow teammate who crashed was OK and also soft-pedaled for 30 minutes waiting for a team member who he thought was behind him to catch up. Had Rick been in tip-top shape, a podium finish would have been guaranteed.
Nice ride though Rick
the worst part is no paid leave from Omniture
EB it is Adobe now
