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.

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
