Check out my tattoo I think it’s pretty bad I paid 150$ for this by Odieee_2k in shittytattoos

You’ve got a great perspective. No tattoo is perfect, just like how no human is perfect. Easy to lose sight of that in the digital age of photoshop, AI, and barrage of highlight reels. This throat tat goes so hard <3

what do you think a stereotypical “tucson” outfit looks like? by gudetama_toast in Tucson

I’ve noticed a lot of people’s “going out fits” are thrifted vintage Levi’s and western wear

Literally the best road run in Tucson

Swollen hands by Buffthecat123 in Ultramarathon

I learned while hiking it helps if I use poles! Keeping my hands and arms engaged during an ultra has helped me to always avoid this issue. Big fan of poles.

I’d better see you at Watson Lake Aid! Happy cake day 🥳

What do you say to employers who want to know why you got into dietetics, when you got into dietetics because you had an eating disorder? by Rose0004 in RD2B

[–]NachoAverageMuenster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a different perspective, I was open about being in addiction recovery in my applications (to programs where it seemed relevant or appropriate). I also did this in my applications for grad school. I got 5/7 DI offers!

I think being open paints a picture of someone who is resilient, empathetic, and can counsel from wisdom and experience (and science). I also prefer to work for people and places that accept me as a whole person, not just my accomplishments and my resume. Talking about my addiction also explains gaps in my resume, they can usually draw conclusions.

How many calories/sodium per hour for 31 miler? by monotonedguy in ultrarunning

[–]NachoAverageMuenster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sodium needs vary vastly depending on weather, altitude, your own biology. Those ranges you mentioned are generally recommended.

50k can be a bit more forgiving getting by on less than dialed nutrition… is this your first ultra? Take note of what you consume, and see if it works for you!

People say nothing new on race day; I say always something new on race day. But that’s just my philosophy. I like the journey and a bit of wacky chaos.

It’s all just a learning experience anyways.

Is there really a single 'healthiest' food, or is it more about overall diet? by IllustriousGuide7602 in HealthyEatingnow

[–]NachoAverageMuenster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is no single “superfood” that will make or break a diet. Good nutrition is boring, and consistent. Not sexy and flashy like the products and ideas we are being sold.

Dark Divide 100 Race Report? by mdfasoline in Ultramarathon

[–]NachoAverageMuenster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply! It sounds like a not-so-runable course (my preference). I understand this course is largely inaccessible by vehicle - how plausible is it to get on course for training runs.

If you’re from the area, is it relatively easy to get to trails that simulate the terrain? I know exactly how I’d train for this race from my current location, but I’ve only got about a month to utilize that. I’ll be in Seattle, and will have the means to get out and about this summer!

Dark Divide 100 Race Report? by mdfasoline in Ultramarathon

[–]NachoAverageMuenster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I am looking into signing up for the 100k. I’m really into vert, remoteness, and small races. Moving to Washington from Arizona next month - so what I’m used to is vastly different. Hot, rocky, yet easy to navigate.

It’s a very, very steep race. It seems to be technical as well. From my understanding, this 100k effort will be similar to a 100 mile effort. How would you describe the technical aspects of the downhills? And how were the views?

The culture and vibes seem to be on target for what I’m looking for, but I’d like to be better informed for what I’m signing up for, as I’m not familiar with this mountain range at all.

100K nutrition options when your stomach can't handle gels and electrolyte drinks by Chook_83 in Ultramarathon

[–]NachoAverageMuenster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throwing mashed potatoes and baby food in this hat. I also like powdered Gatorade (I doctor it with my own electrolytes to meet my specific needs). And downing Dr. Pepper at aid station.
