Hi Zoli,
my personal record is 44 hours with three short sleeping stops.
Personally, will-power is my main support.
Contest food is only milk (abt.5 liters for the full contest),
italian coffee and abt. 30 of my favourite small cakes:
probably not the best to my family doctor ..... :-))
I fully agree with Randy K5ZD: you must want to do it very badly.

See you from IH9P !
