Things that I thought of - Gu, I wore a t shirt then a tight tank top with a bra built in for a couple of races and put the GU in the tank top bra part. So it wasn't touching my skin and all - otherwise chafage! Other idea - one of those belts that hold your number and they have slots for gu (at expos). That's what I've been using. And if you can do 20, you're fine the last 6 - you've been training like a champ ! Great job on the 5.5 at the happy pace! I wouldn't even be worrying about what I'm eating until the week before!N.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07718741327199643323noreply@blogger.com
