Potomac PCA at Summit Point 7/14-15 open NOW

[Mark Fox]

It wasn't a surprise to see that the most incident occurred in white on the last session of the weekend.

Steve, you know the name..........."Wild White."  You are ready to leave the inconsistency of that group.

Since they have the data that there are more offs and spins later in the day, we can suspect that it may be due to the driver not being aware of his level of fatigue.  It would make more sense to have the last run of the day the shortest, and make the earlier runs longer.

Cashcab, Excellent point.  It is like skiing, you have to be very careful and ski within yourself toward the end of the day.   

I wonder if potomac looked at the time elapsed between the second and third run.  With them I have experienced a three hour down time with the first hour taking place over lunch.  At 3:00 I was running for coffee. 

There is a condition called post prandial depression (drop in systolic BP) and  hypoglycemia as insulin draws glucose out of your blood.  This can be worse depending if you ate all carbs at lunch.  The end result is you feel lethargic and sleepy, not at your best for you or anyone else on the track.   I usually snack on fruit and balance bars (40-30-30 design) and soy protein drinks to avoid this condition.  But three hours of down time is ridiculous.

IMHO 3 runs per day fails to allow for sufficient insurance against  the potential of your run getting black flagged,( which happens frequently in upper groups) bad weather and car problems resulting in a lot of time and money being wasted and no track time.
