Pre-load was a makeshift of Base and Water. Mild GI buildup on right side; not debilitating until after consuming gels. Canaberry with 2 scoops Superfuel w/ 22oz H20 I think was either too many calories or the addition of 1 scoop Base in the bottle messed up fluid retention. Was sloshing by the end. After a single Shot Blok late in the run the stomac issues magnified and the back siezed up. The latter may or may not be due to consecutive days of ICE intake (the B12, historically, has prompted back tension). Overall, failure to figure out the root of adjacent/overlapping issues today. Perhaps too much Na in an effort to limit the deficit game. Keep that in mind. Great morning to be at Carvins Cove, however.
And saw the first bear of the season; big boy, spooked and ran. So majestic.
