A comment about this part ...

Before I did my first 1200K, I did a quick calculation based on my 600K time. I had finished my first 600K in 36 hours on no sleep, and I finished my second 600K in 37:20 with 1.5 hours of sleep. So, I figured I would double that second time = 75 hours (which would include 3 hours of sleep), and add about 5 more hours for slowing down a bit toward the end = 80 hours, which would leave me an extra 10 hours for sleep!

That was close, but it didn't quite work like that. Over all four 1200Ks I did, I think the most I managed to sleep was about 8 hours all up ... not the 13 hours of sleep I hoped for.
