Mel,
First off, congrats on a great 2009 season!

I've never heard about you being involved in 24 hour racing, but perhaps in your pre-Xterra years you've had some experience.
I'm going to do my first solo 24 hour mtb race this summer and I'm trying to lay out of plan to give me the best possible outcome. I've done a few 24 hour races before, but always on a team and turning fast laps.

I think the hardest part will be in the wee hours of the night. Keeping the will to continue pedaling and eating when I don't want to. Do you have any suggestions? Is there anything like Jeff Galloway's run/walk method that might be applicable to this? I'm open to any and all suggestions you may have!

Thanks,
-Kim
