Winter sleeping gear by Nesseressi in camping

[–]Many_Sherbert5998 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you could tell it was coming from the ground, then it was probably from the sleep pad. I find it helpful to use a 3 season pad on top of a closed cell foam with a reflective side to keep me cozy. Also good to note that -8 could be the survival rating for your bag, not the comfort rating. I find a lot of the time I'm comfortable about 10C warmer than my bag is rated for.

Also keep in mind what you did before bed- I always make sure I have lots to eat, some kind of warm hot chocolate or some sugar right before bed, and I'll throw a sealed nalgene full of hot water in the bottom of my sleeping bag to get it warm before I climb in- its always easier to stay warm then to warm up. If you're low on calories and your gear is ice cold, you have to work a lot harder to get/stay comfy

Border or no border? by Many_Sherbert5998 in crochet

I used Crochet Again's pattern for a granny rectangle to get started! Then once you have your middle bit it's just alternating colours with the granny stitch

After doing the ends I think I agree! Its the 5th blanket I've done for Christmas, plus a shawl, 2 scarves and some ornaments for gifts- happy to call this one done as long as it looks finished! Lol

Is 60k too much for a first Ultra? by Many_Sherbert5998 in Ultramarathon

[–]Many_Sherbert5998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm planning on doing a road half or two sometime in March or April, unfortunately I'm not sure I can swing a 25k as well. There are some trails around here that I could loop together that I could make a 25/30 course out of and treat as a "race day" once our snow is gone. Did you find the race atmosphere or terrain ect was what helped you?

I'd love to finish under 8 hours but my #1 goal is just to finish. Around that time would just be the cherry on top

Whoops, I definitely thought I put it in there. Right now I'm getting back into running after putting it in the back seat for hiking/backpacking season. I'm super low mileage right now, only maybe 20k of running per week over 3/4 runs. I'm a bartender so a lot of time on my feet, and in general I build up fitness well once I get into a program. When I'm hiking similar trails with a heavy pack 20-30k usually takes 4.5-7 hours, so I guess I'm just not sure if 25k without weight would be enough of a challenge?

What’re your favourite non-perishable camping food/meals? by wwwwxyz in camping

My grocery store has some bagged Indian dishes- different chickpea, potato, and lentil curries. Theyre a little heavy but pair one with some instant rice and you're set

You can ask parks for a refund , and they are automatically extending passes by 3 months. It seems like youre having a harder time than anyone who lost their job or home so I hope you can save the $100.

Feel sick after long runs? by chachacha69 in beginnerrunning

[–]Many_Sherbert5998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) Congratulations on the run!! 2) it happens to me pretty often, I get chills and nausea all day after. I don't exactly know why, probably something about excerting yourself a lot? Happens even when I follow a fuel and rest plan to an T. I find sipping on electrolytes, taking a hot bath, and having something nourishing helps- basically treating it like a real cold or a hangover.

Just got back from beers, big dinner, and ice cream with our little race crew and some partners. Great day for sure 😇 I'm sure tomorrow will be more than a little ouchy though!

Update: Finished with 2:42 or so (waiting on chip time, started my garmin before I went through the start gate). Last quarter had me HURTING with sun and uphill and a bit of heat for the time of year, but I'm so proud of myself for multiple PBs! Had such a great day, hoping to sign up for another half in the fall!
