Ran an assault of my beloved Orchard Mountain. Chafed so badly starting at the summit; actually wore A&D so who knows how if not for all the extra Na intake. Descent work of ingesting >= 300 kcal/hr. Also was using Base salts every 6-8 mins, thus intaking an extra 24 mg Na or thereabouts per serving. Still egregiously insufficient Na intake per 816 mg/hr of expenditure. Ran out of water midway down the mountain. Texted for the early meetup to ride. Bathed in the deep deep swimming hole in the creek in the valley. Sooo refreshing. Managed a strong PR on the 10+ mile climb to the AT with an unprecedented warmup via the road (nearly 400' ascended before the official route even began) and the new favored summit via the frontage road/telescope access road. Brutal final 3 miles (2.99mi per 1200'). Ran quite well. Very happy.
