6 Hours of Frog Hollow

After Race
To prepare for the 25 Hours in Frog Hour race this year I decided to sign up for the 6 hour version.  I've ridden several 6 hour events in the past few months but not on a mountain bike.

I was interested in several items:

Which bike?
Should I the full suspension 26 or the 29'er hard tail.  The trail is not too technical.  I rode the 29'er which handled great.  It was much easier getting up and over the rock sections.

Nutrition
One bottle per lap along with a bar or a couple of gels.

Results:  5 laps in 5:30 hours

I definitely need to adjust my riding position.  After 3 hours my lower back was dang sore.  I'll probably bring both 26 and 29'er to the 25 hour race.
