My personal go to brand is Theo , which sources directly from their partner cacao farms and then makes their chocolate in Seattle . <| sep |> I am starting Kirk , Reed , and ABthis is amazing . <| sep |> Well to be fair it came out in 2014 so as of then , it was the complete experienceIt is a pretty great deal either way <| sep |> I think you have a massive misconception about the state of Washington . Seattle is a very small part of Washington . The rest is essentially Montana in a wasteland scenario . <| sep |> You ' ll be fine . Since you ' ve done VT and Palmerton , I ' d say the type of terrain and elevation is a healthy inbetween of those two courses . Keep up on your running and loaded carries . Remember to add in some lunges biweekly for good measure and you ' ll be more than ready to go in 5 months . Also do some reading up on how to eat during long races amd you ' ll be set this isn ' t really an issues with shorter races like Sprints . You got this !
