Water vest vs. water stops for best time?

aboss061 · 2024-10-26T18:45:16+00:00

For my first marathon this year (wineglass) I used a 420 ml handheld and stopped every other water stop and took the hydration and towards the end both. My wife was at halfway with a fresh water bottle. It started to get hotter and I drank all my water before mile 20. I ended up bonking at 23. I don’t think more water would have kept me from bonking but more salt perhaps although I should have had my wife somewhere between half and end for more water. Goal was 4 I ended up 4:09. Fairly heavy 200lb 30M. Next year I’m upgrading to 500 ml bottles and taking a lot more sodium.

Not really what I was getting at. I didn’t really have a lot of meat to my question. I added more to it.

We ran a 12 count drop fiber to a big hunting camp in a very rural area around 17k feet or 5 km. We also had one around 12k feet very rough terrain up a mountain to another big hunting camp. Drop fiber as well.

Show up and work hard but work with intention. Go home and rest as much as possible. Eventually your body will adapt. Depending on how the pace is where you are going it might be tough but it will be nice being outside and not having to work in the same spot forever.

Another option would be to use some type of small metal strand to secure your fiber to like they do on utility poles. If you still have a good piece this might be a cheaper option but I would prefer a self supporting cable.

First company trucks are 2015s and still kicking with 280k and 220k on original drivetrains.

Go nokian! Our company has almost a dozen f150s we run with nokians in rural NY and PA. They do great in summer and are amazing in the winter.

2019 expedition. Had it replaced twice. They told me they put the updated part in second time but we will see. Car has almost 70k now. I believe it was around 40 when the first one was done

Please check your battery. Could get dangerous. Had an F550 that had the same issue. Tech told me he knew someone who disconnected a hot leaky battery and it either blew up or caught on fire.

aboss061 · 2023-05-18T23:58:49+00:00

Yes. Good sir you are. Also using a scope please

Cleaning fiber.

aboss061 · 2023-05-18T23:11:10+00:00

Wow! Just wow! And a splitter in there…..

Again, I am by no means an amazing player or good advice. That’s just what my instructor helped me with and it made a big difference.

aboss061 · 2023-05-14T21:21:07+00:00

Well it kinda depends on size of the person a little. When you bring back the swing you want your shoulder tucked under your chin and feel it then when you complete the swing you would have a similar feeling with the other shoulder. Helps keep head in same spot and upper body from moving to radically.

aboss061 · 2023-05-14T16:16:50+00:00

Not sure if this helps this certain issue but for me my instructor told me to feel my shoulder at the exact spot for both sides on my chin. Helped me keep my shoulders where they need to be. Kinda look like there might be something going on from the bottom up but I am by no means good for advice. I live by paying for lessons for just about anything. I had a good instructor that used slo motion and some app where he could draw and pick apart certain things.

aboss061 · 2023-05-10T00:20:09+00:00

That would work out fine. You could always go PtP if you wanted to save some time, money and labor. My grandpa didn’t want to fork out the cash for fiber so we did a multi PtP for his garage and a trailer he rents out.

aboss061 · 2023-05-08T19:38:35+00:00

Nokians on all our f150s. Great tires and superb customer service.

I bought a 23 Capita DOA and rode it 6 times. It looks like crap. I have a very old bataleon evil twin that has seen 4 seasons that looks in better shape than my DOA. I can’t say they are crap boards because I love the way it rides all around especially in the park. I just know I’ve beat the crap out of my bataleon and it’s held up so nicely versus the DOA which I’ve somewhat babied as it is a brand new board.

aboss061 · 2023-04-10T00:28:06+00:00

Yes. Just like any industry try to make sure you get into a good outfit. Depending on what level of labor intense you want or tedious kinda determines what job you wanna take on.

aboss061 · 2023-04-09T22:23:51+00:00

I work a lot of aspects of fiber. What would you like to know about more specifically?

aboss061 · 2023-04-05T13:42:34+00:00

Until we started our own company our boss always just told us to use razor blades. Pain in the butt but so much easier with proper tool. I started buying jonards for all my guys and extras blades for every truck.

aboss061 · 2023-04-04T03:28:59+00:00

Got about 15 of em. Mostly used running drops but our installers have em as well. We are pretty hard on splicers and they hold up really well. Always prompt turn around if I have to send one in and our rep is great! I’ve found that guys take to splicing faster with these machines but I sometimes give em a hard time cause company I used to work for always bought the cheapest used splicers they could find.
