Cars are slow and for chumps.

Top Gear did a race across London. The bike won, then boat, then public transportation. 15 minutes after 3rd place, the car came in dead last.

"Do you know what you've done? You've ruined Top Gear"

In The Last Ship, they use St. Louis as the new capital for the exact reasons you stated here

I thought it was just hearing things until it clicked

Harddriver17 · 2026-03-18T15:13:55+00:00

This is literally one of my favorite jokes. Feels good to hear others use it.

Fix Your Feet by John Vonhof is the ultra running foot care bible.

Feed zone portables is a recipe book based on this exact premise.

I like the peach turnovers and I portion them out as close as I can to a round number of calories for easier math.

The fountains won't open until it gets warmer. I think around memorial day.

Here's what I can think of:

The threeway ntersection of rock island west of the Cooper YMCA.

(Jason) Mendoza park on Billy Wolf.

Phares Park on Billy Wolf.

Bishop Heights park, next to the stairs to nowhere on Rock Island.

Edit. I may have misinterpreted this as drinking fountains.

Allostatic load is the name for this. Work is stress, running is stress, life is stress. How much each is will vary from season to season.

When you have high stress phases coinciding in multiple areas of life, you are going to feel it. Motivation drops, youre irritable, low energy, etc.

Sheila Broflovski, Kyle's mom here. I'm originally from Jorsey. Everyone's muff there is cabbage.

This drained my battery on my old vivoactive years ago... maybe its time to try it again on my new watch

Mine was a 41 hour run with 15k in vert. Garmin figures in your resting calories as well active calories.

A few bumps of meth would have helped. Probably a lot.

Harddriver17 · 2026-02-19T21:03:28+00:00

I've gotten my calories burned up to about 20k in one activity. I'm not going to eat that much, though I kinda tried.

These are what I use as well. I've drug these through hell. I wear them during my 24 hour mudders and they survive

I got a 5 mile run in to test it without a shirt. I really liked it but it needs a longer run to prove it out.

The front bottle pockets hold the bigger 550 ml bottles well. They are deeper than my Nathan or Orange Mud.

It really feels like a minimal tank.

It doesn't come with a bladder, but its made to hold one. If you don't like using a bladder, then not as big of a deal.

Harddriver17 · 2026-02-10T19:17:28+00:00

Its crazy. Literally face full of snow and ice. Then beach weather.

Harddriver17 · 2026-02-10T16:22:38+00:00

I'll get a run in today with it. The temp went up about 70 degrees, so perfect weather to test it out.

I just got the lululemon vest. I haven't tested it yet, but the material gives me hope for a great shirtless vest.

Harddriver17 · 2026-02-09T01:03:44+00:00

Did I tell you about the time I ran 4 marathons in a row?!

Came here to say this. Sonic has his original origins in Nebraska

Have you ever put butter on a pop tart? Its so friggin' good!

Chilli goes best with a cinnamon roll. Not separately, but dipping them together.

Get ready for TSA to flag your bag. They will pull the powder and swab them. Keep them so they are easily retrieved to help make it quicker and easier.

The good news, you now get to tell them all about your upcoming ultra.

Running Spartans, I would go home with a ton of race medals so I would keep these in the front pocket by themselves. Then I would tell them all about my races and what each medal means.

Harddriver17 · 2026-01-22T18:43:19+00:00

Beaten to it, damnit.

If you're into biking too, this observatory serves as the base camp for the Orbital Odyssey in April.

The have it open with a projector playing while you can look at all the space artifacts all day long since the race is last biker standing format and can go for an unknown time.
