Anyway, I saw where you wrote: "Seriously, after a few minutes I can no longer feel the brake lever at all. It’s not a helpful attribute to have." This may be a stupid question, but is it feasible/practical/possible to swap the brakes? I know nothing about mountain bikes, but wouldn't it simply be a matter of re-routing the cables? Of course you'd have to re-train your brain. I figure it would only take 2 or 10 flips over the handlebars and you'd start to figure it out!

I thought you'd be there with me. Glad I said hi before the race, Bummed I didn't yell out WTF get movin, when I saw you climbing P L. I couldn't think fast enough at that point, sorry. Yeah, I saw you fatty with the brat afterward, you deserve it. Nice job cutting off time from LY....you early morning parking lot neighbor, 2008? ....Heath damn you. I thought you’d be there with me.

So far it sounds like a really strong ride, which it had to have been all the way through to have the time you had. Are you really saying that 15 measly minutes is the difference between sweet and bittersweet at the finish line of such an epic effort? You're strong as hell, dude. Celebrate.

I rode down to th Casa Del Boz (our camper), 55 miles away the other day, and the first thing I ate was a bowl of Great Value Nature's Grains cereal. Ya, Walmart generic brand for a buck 88 a box, but now my favorite cereal. It went down easy. I know it's not Coco Bombs or Captain Crud, but it works for me. After all, variety is the splice of life, so mixing in some different, high quality, slower releasing carb sources may do the trick. One wonders what Landis types eat. I know the Tour riders do eat a mix of different foods, depending on how they feel, and what they can stomach that day.
