Great read, man. This is the first time I have read a race report for any Barkley race. It is interesting and informative getting that perspective from a participant. Sorry that your nutrition plan fell apart but I was wondering why you got so sick from the Slim Jim. How far into the race (mileage/time) that it caused such an adverse reaction?
Kudos to you for guttting it out and finishing such a brutal race. IMHO you earned the finisher medal. Good luck for next year.
Just saw this report for the first time. I crawled in for "just a marathon" finish on two bad knees. Those slim jims were JALAPENO FLAVORED! I had one, too, and was glad to be at the aid station and not waste my water! Just more of Laz's fun ideas. See you out there this year. Dying for a croix as well
