I have a feeling you are still better prepared than I. Definitely will see you there and have a great run!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732421097248866481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964307101197726120.post-25645897015505633562013-07-03T10:48:47.570-07:002013-07-03T10:48:47.570-07:00Found your post via a google search as I am doing ...Found your post via a google search as I am doing the same run and feel woefully unprepared when it comes to nutrition. I had hoped my order of Tailwind would be here I tried it once and it seemed to work out but that was a sample.<br /><br />Great blog, I am catching up by using some work con call time :)<br /><br />Look forward to seeing you out there - I am pretty easy to spot with my boonie cap on so please say hi if you see me.Jeff Clowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09447867501434750358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964307101197726120.post-37498620228292212722013-06-28T07:52:50.978-07:002013-06-28T07:52:50.978-07:00Foresthill is different than what I do since you m...Foresthill is different than what I do since you may have to deal with pacers and crew trying to work with their runners - I'm not sure how that all works. <br /><br />I bring a water bottle to use during the day since it can get busy and there may not be any breaks for a bit. There should be aid station food you can graze on a bit.<br /><br />I'm sure there will be a LOT of veteran volunteers there that will explain everything, so I wouldn't be nervous at all. It will be a hard day at times, but a LOT of fun, especially with the middle and back of the pack runners, who will really need your help.<br /><br />You are going to have a lot of fun - I don't know if we will make it to Foresthill or not when we are done - it just depends on how quickly we can get out of Last Chance (I'm taking the drop bags to Auburn and need to get there before the runners finish). If you can, be sure to stop by the finish in Auburn at least for a bit. I'll be around there somewhere.notthatlucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429091759111933245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964307101197726120.post-9138921942841723512013-06-28T05:27:53.178-07:002013-06-28T05:27:53.178-07:00Thanks Allen, we are really looking running with y...Thanks Allen, we are really looking running with you!<br /><br />As a second note, I am pretty excited/nervous about this weekend at WS100 at the aid station. Any tips?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732421097248866481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964307101197726120.post-42451917381156310372013-06-27T21:53:53.813-07:002013-06-27T21:53:53.813-07:00First - YAY for getting the commenting working aga...First - YAY for getting the commenting working again!<br /><br />Second - This was a great post! I've done this event twice now and really like it. It really is pretty social, and once the 6 hour runners are done, they can make it tempting to waste a bit of time coming through the start area, so you need to make your mind up to not stop or set a time limit - I'm most impressed by those that hardly pause and keep on going through. (It's funny how seeing others can work out - there will be some runners you will see a lot and others you will hardly ever see.)<br /><br />Third - your goals sound great! For me, I just shoot for milestones like a Half, then a Full, then a 50K (name in Ultrarunner!), then 40, then 50 (my big stretch goal).<br /><br />Also, I found that the short races they also put on at the same time can help add a bit of life and break up the boredom (although this course really isn't that boring).<br /><br />I can't wait to see you and Beth fly around this course!notthatlucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429091759111933245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964307101197726120.post-30422372737461332142013-06-25T14:40:40.207-07:002013-06-25T14:40:40.207-07:00Strategy - make out with your wife every 3rd lap. ...Strategy - make out with your wife every 3rd lap. This will keep you energized and/or reinvigorate you once every 1.5 hours. : )<br /><br />Have 12 baggies of your favorite different treats. <br /><br />Dedicate one race shirt to each hour, change 12 times. Remember what you loved about each race.<br /><br />Find (hire?) 12 friends to run an hour each with you.<br /><br />Pick your fav 12 temporary tats, get a new one each hour, on a different body part each time.<br /><br />Pick your top 12 beers, down one an hour.<br /><br />Find 12 dirty jokes....spend each hour telling everyone you pass that joke...change it every hour.<br /><br />12 friendly phrases you say to every runner you pass for an hour - "yo, wuz up?", "looking good", "don't trip", "hows it, brah?"...<br /><br />I could keep going, but you live with me, so I'll just tell you more when you get home....<br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871862951083402190noreply@blogger.com
