When I ran alot of trail races(15-20 miles) I used gels and electrolyte tablets every hour or so. But what I learned is that no matter what my training had been or the many different supplements I used during the race, I have about 3 hours of hard exertion to complete the majority of the work or I needed to rest. If I didn't the consequence was muscle cramps. You need to learn through trial and error what works best for your body chemistry to keep energy up and electrolyte levels. Hydration is huge, that really is pretty universal, but your needs in calories and electrolytes can differ from person to person.

13.8 miles 42 lb pack 4400+total climb in just over 7 hrs. First trail was pretty non-existent so I bushwacked to an established trail to finish. Hip flexor started acting up but was able to stretch it out, hamstring not so much. Also found out the hard way to check water filter right before leaving for the hike. I had cleaned it last season but didn't try it before heading out. Totally blocked. Got it opened up once I got home. Lesson learned.
MTWarden - great pix 👍👍👍

MCH - hoping for a quick and complete recovery.
Gym today - squats, press, deads, dips, LTEs. Was a little tentative about the squats and dead due to tweaking my back Sunday but it well. I think the belt helped. Hammy seems good, stretching helped.

west slope cutthroat I'll let everyone in on a secret for backcountry trout- we did fish tacos, four trout cooked over the fire, when done pick all the meat off and put in bowl/plate; while the fish are cooking put a half dozen or so white corn tortillas wrapped in tinfoil next to the fire to warm; add fish to the tortilla shredded cheese, shredded cabbage and baja sauce over everything (you'll have to look up the recipe for baja sauce as the wife made it) we cooked up a side of dehydrated black beans to go with them I'm here to tell you, you'll be hard pressed to find a better backcountry meal

Years of hard use. He said I will need a knee replacement in the future. There is heavy arthritis in there and no cartilage left. I should be back up to speed in 4 to 6 weeks Thank you

well Tiny Elvis and I were out the door early today (nice to be working part time!) and instead of 90 degrees we were treated to mid 50's- world of difference! we got 6 miles and a couple of thousand feet of gain
