Carb depletion days landed at about 30 grams of carbs. Carb-up days landed at about 500-600 grams from potatoes.

Yeah, we used San Shredded again. Same dosages as 2008, 2 servings on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

I'll give you the water numbers for the Pittsburgh show.

Monday: 2+ gallons
Tuesday: 2+ gallons
Wednesday: 1 3/4 gallons
Thursday: 1 1/4 gallons
Friday: 3/4 gallon
Saturday: Minimum
