Awesome. Sign-up is usually in Feb. Unfortunately it opens at mid-night and fills within hours. My place is in Beech Mountain, NC if you want to see how far that is from you. Food and beer on the house for anyone who makes the drive and rides the event.BTW, BnB, I have tentatively put BS&G on my schedule for next year. Heck, if PSL drives over here he can stop over with me for the night and we can roll up there together.
230 miles from us. Beautiful area.
I always rip up my back when I try to use a camel back. I love them for hiking but not running.
I generally run loops between 5 and 10 miles and refill after each loop. For 16, I'd run either 2 or 3 loops depending on how hot it was.
Yeah, I think you need to make loops, plan a route that passes some water fountains or refill opportunities, or suck it up and get by with 20 oz. If it's hot enough to cause you to need more fluids, then you will likely need to make accomodations to get refills. You could carry an extra 16 oz Gatorade bottle and pitch it when you're done (I buy a case of them from Costco).prosopis - great run! You're setting yourself up for a record breaking winter.'beer 302 said:
Salomon XT TwinThough, with the heat lately, I still have been looping for runs over 15 miles. Loop back to the house (or the car when on the greenway) to refill one of the bottles.'beer 302 said:
AwesomeThanks for the suggestions guys, I like the salmon x-wing Ty fighter thing
What was your previous distance PR? 15.5 is getting serious 
Looks like your temps are starting to drop. Fantastic run and now you might be able to keep up with the kids at soccer. Good luck with that
Yeah, was hoping this rain may have postponed the game...not feeling too sore yet...that will come tomorrow Im sure.I won't be moving too quickly on the sidelines today.Looks like your temps are starting to drop.

Very nice run there.Good to see you hitting those paces and keeping the HR down.I was surprised how well mine held up today over the 2nd half of the run.And yeah, bugs in the eye are a biotch.I about hit a huge spider web the other morning on a run.Was still a bit dark out and if not for a car approaching, I would not have seen the web. Nice sized one too...decent sized wolf spider right in there.I think I hit a bit of one today. Came into the house and as I pulled off my hate I noticed a few strings of web off of it.I got my 11 in today. 10:17 pace with avg HR at 150. That is a pretty fair improvement on my HR. I do attribute it some what to cooler temps. It was 75 degrees out with 85% humidity when I was out. Big storms around here yesterday. The main road to my place has been closed for 24 hrs now and there was a death nearby. Lady got trapped in her car and drowned, very sad. People need to be smarter. If the washes are running dont try to cross them. Took me a little extra time to get home but that is ok.* a bug flew into my eye this morning with some force. Hurt like a mother and is still achey.

Sorry to hear that, GB. T&P.Umstead 100 - Got In
Same to you man! As I was coming to the end I thought only another 10 miles for a marathon
18/50 is a great accomplishment man, well done!
13.5 I think so not a huge deal but if it was 13.6 I'd be feeling just as goodAwesome
PR is a PR right? Hoping your eye isn't messed up. I keep meaning to post it but I have this arachnophobia thing from my youth and running through spider webs in the dark absolutely creeps me out, did that a ton this week.
Sleeping in because it was too cold
Suck factor made a huge diff for me this morning, was 139 when I started. Still amazed what a huge difference just a small change in temp makes with your performance. Nice job guys
Knowing nothing about this race I looked it up and the "How To Train for Your First 100" had me cracking up. Holy #### man, you're crazy! Mon-Fri 5-10 mile various runs, Saturday 35-40 milesUmstead 100 - Got In
You gonna stash your bike somewhere?

Yeah, that's crazy! I want at least 30 miles out of you tomorrow, BnB. Follow that up with a 15 mile recovery run Monday morning at 2:30 a.m.

I expect nothing less out of you. Certifiable, yet awesome! Friend of mine did a 100 a couple years ago and loved it. If you need advice I can get you in touch.
for the HIM and HM reports.
Chicked on the swim, and passed late in the run? What the ..?!
3rd OA is 3rd OA - very, very cool! Great way to end the season!!! 
Congrats on the podium, but you forgot to say how Mrs. Sand performed.
Pretty sure I've said that to myself every single time once I got deep into training.
She finished 9th AG. Did very well considering her lack of training.Most importantly, she was the the hottest chick on the course.Congrats on the podium, but you forgot to say how Mrs. Sand performed.
The girl not only beat me on the swim, she thrashed me. It took me a mile or so to catch her on the bike. Damn 15 year olds.Chicked on the swim, and passed late in the run? What the ..?!

AmazingDon't give me that beginner race BS. Following the moto is badass!
Well, with the ages of my kids...coaching soccer...he is playing basketball in the winter and my daughter ready to start some other activities...I don't see me having the time for it for a long while.Maybe when they are older it could be a possibility again.'IvanKaramazov said:
It's not that bad. I'll probably be doing less weekly mileage than most of the guys here doing these 18/70 plans or running six days a week. Really the only difference is more rest days for me and extending the long run a couple of hours which is the same amount of time most of the bike guys are doing on their long rides.I'll put pen and paper together for a plan soon, but I expect it will be 3/4 days running, 1/2 days stairmill for 30 min, and 0/1 day on the bike.'Juxtatarot said:'IvanKaramazov said:Sorry to hear that, GB.

Following the moto was cool, no doubt. The run was a simple out and back. Funny enough on the way back the people on the out leg kept telling me how much gap I had. They guy who passed me was doing sub-6s. Yeah, like I can do anything about that, anyway!25.1

Nice! Your mom still helping to run the event?Sand - fish-like 15 year olds and sub-6 minute runners can't be anticipated. What a great memory for you to reel in the gal early in the bike and then hold the lead into the run.3.1 @ 9:02 today at the Dash for a Splash
The HR was very close to earlier 5Ks that were in tougher conditions, so it probably gets back to the training. Anyway, nice to run near the front, and the race director gave a "wow" after announcing my time..something that wouldn't happen in the big CARA races. I'll try again next week at a race right in my neighborhood ...see if this one helped get my legs back under me.
90% of us here would be thrilled to have an good day like that much less an off day. Congrats.Chase the Bear Glenview 5K

This was a small, local 5K (we had to stay on sidewalks for much of the last mile). But overall, a nice little event. My daughter enjoys coming along, so it was fun to have her with me.

I knew right away I did not have my high gear as I didn't Sand the start and could tell the legs weren't reaching very well or turning quite quickly enough. Too many distance runs and not enough hard speed work lately? Just tired from a busy summer? -ptts-
Good Lord, you completly crushed this. Awesome job.
Sounds like fun. Add me to the list of people who would kill to have this race as a PR.Chase the Bear Glenview 5K

Awesome job Juxt.Good Lord, you completly crushed this. Awesome job.
Thinking about it, it was fun, once I stop obsessing over the time compared to earlier times this year. After about a half-mile, there was a pack of about six runners just in front of me (and more further ahead; I finished 10th). I stayed patient and they began to fall off the pace. Just before the two mile point, two were left in front of me as we turned onto a long straightaway. We had a little back and forth, but then I was able to surge a bit and create a bit of distance. That was the race within the race ..and it was fun!
Wow man, that's just damn impressive Jux! Great job!!
You're gonna need to unpack that a bit GB
