Quick HM update.

I did it! I didn't risk the dubiously caffeinated energy held, and stuck to jelly beans and a bit of flaxseed 9 bar instead. I had no upset stomach catastrophes or falling over catastrophes, and my chip time is 02:48:31 which, given the lack of training and the quantity of steep ascent, I'm more than happy with. Proper waffles post when there are photos and things, and my brain is not post-hill-running slurry.

That is great to hear! Good decision on the un-tried gels and a time you can be proud of.
