Your like me, always been high, but not triglycerides. My brother is looking into the lipid size test, which will tell a more accurate story.

On another note...Since pasta etc is out for strict Paleo what are you guys doing in place of 'carb load' to get ready for race day? I ran the Rad Dad enduro yesterday from row 90 and spent the day in axle deep ruts with lots of paddling, tugging and pulling from being cross rutted etc (did I mention that I hate ruts?) Anyway by the end of my sections I was totally exhausted. I drink a good amount of water on the days leading up to race day so I don't think hydration was an issue but I was 'out of gas' for sure.. In fairness to the diet, I have been very strict for around a month and then allow 'cheats' at times, I have gradually lost 10 lbs over the 6 weeks, feel better but I haven't stuck to my power walk regimen like I should have...Life got in the way the last couple of weeks:-( but it sure beats the alternative Any suggestions will be appreciated

I don't carbo-load anymore. And, frankly, the typical American diet is carbo-loading enough.

I don't add GatorAde ( etc ) to my water unless the race is going to be over 90 minutes. I find I can enduro for about 2 hours and then my glycogen reserves are gone and fat-burning doesn't cut it (just as the paleophile endurance athletes predicted).

For that, I will gladly add some yam and even fruit juice to my breakfast ( you *will* burn it off). I haven't added any recovery drink to my hydration pack because I have always had time between test sections to eat some protien, fat, and a hunk of microwaved yam.

If I thought I was going to be racing a three+ hour hare scramble or an enduro where I was behind the clock. I would opt for 33% recovery drink in the pack S well as some calories in my roost pack or in the pits.

Coconut water on my back and dried fruit in my pocket that's all the carbs you will need.

I have used coconut water for electrolytes in my pack (with a pinch of salt, squeeze of lime).

Not much carbs in coconut water and dried fruit is too hard to chew.

I prefer the pre-cooked yam instead of dried fruit because the yam is soft, easily chewed (almost ripe banana-like), and readily digestible. I'll do the dried fruit before or after the race, but so far, not during.

Thanks guys, that's what I was looking for, I've stopped sugars, potatoes,pasta etc & I'm looking for a replacement. I'm going to get back to my power walks to help with the my strength. My suspicion is that the large muscles in my legs were burning energy at a crazy pace and I wasn't properly 'stocked' up. I've been doing water only and wondered if I could sneak some Gatorade. I'd read that to much water was about as bad as not enough as it 'washed out' the electrolytes that you need, definitely going to try the coconut water with the lime & salt. I may invest in that book also. Thanks

BTW is there a difference between yams & sweet potatoes?

A bit of difference. I eat both, but I prefer those orangish yams as they have a natural cinnamon flavor.

As to the water, if you are doing endurance events, especially in Arizona hot/dry climate, you'd benefit from "salting up."

Only one thing will cause you to cramp up faster than drinking pure water: not drinking at all.
