Get yourself a rear hydration mount (profile design and xlab both make ones at various price points). You can carry up to 4 bottles (two on the down tube and two in the back). This will allow you to carry your specific nutrition needs (i.e. endurance vs perform). <br /><br />Great jobdsmith1031https://www.blogger.com/profile/11362347749576048061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850016502233066661.post-23904071168126917792011-09-20T12:52:53.542-04:002011-09-20T12:52:53.542-04:00Gripping report!!

I thought I had it all down but it's way easier in retrospect. I had a HUGE bonk on a run this weekend and had the brick of my life yesterday. Difference? A little bit of sugar to keep me going.Quixhttp://www.adjustedreality.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850016502233066661.post-83191953428211741762011-09-20T07:45:31.026-04:002011-09-20T07:45:31.026-04:00Great Job!
