Carbo Loading Is An Essential Element In The Barkley

For the last number of years Ron Moore has been at the site of the Barkley Marathons as either a Crew for one of the runners or on the Weight List helping out.  He has even made the climbs to place some of the books at various places on the course according to Lazarus Lake's instructions.

This year, as an invited runner, his normal pre-race routine has become a vital part of the recipe for success.  Before Ultras, Ron usually heads to Jet's Pizza for a 8-Corner Super Special.  This year he has to settle for delivery from Dominos, but at least he has a nice bottle of wine and some hot sauce to go with it.

And I am on the road, I-81 to be exact, winging my way toward Eastern Tennessee in my Podd 2.0.  Gas prices are well below $2.00/gallon now, so I am saving money with every mile.  See you soon, Ron.
