Overhydrate at each gas stop (assume 100 Miles). Semi loose fitting clothing that you can toss water on to keep you cool. Definitely consider breaking it up into a couple of days... Think Rain.

Nice work old man :) I never doubted you for a second Be aware that the last 20 miles will be the hardest. Almost home, start to relax a little, concentration can waiver.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

obelixtim 100 #57 August 5, 2013 Start early in the morning (0530) when its cooler and the traffic is lighter. Do a 10 hour shift then stop around 1500 or so, get a beer and a feed, soak your aching arse and relax. Repeat the next day. Watch out for drivers on their phones.....they'll nail you if you give them the chance.My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing....
