Awesome!!!! Once again, your race report is fantastic. Congratulations on such a strong race. 15 minutes faster is super impressive.

I used to do every 60-75 minutes, but I've bumped it to every 45 minutes at Michelle Garel's recommendation and I feel more energetic at around 60-70 minutes which was previously a slump for me.
