Dan Empfield on Race Fuel

Here's the link to the story that JH sent around earlier this week on race nutrition.

``During the last eight miles of the run Newby concentrated and was focused but was still getting caught by Karen Smyers. She took a calculated risk that passing up a few aid stations would buy her some precious seconds. She thought she could get to the finish on desire.

Desire and a quarter will buy you a cup of coffee, though, when you’ve got no gas in the tank.

Mathematics is not psychology or history. There is no room for interpretation. It is an exact science, and when you’ve got no feed in the stable you can’t ride your horse to town.''
