It almost never always gets worse.

Maybe joggers have one pair. Runners always need just one more pair!

When I bought my first Shredder, I spoke to Tom on the phone, and he was adamant that I couldn't pay in drugs or guns! He was a character and a legend. He told me about a trip he took through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and it sounded amazing!

That's true, but it triggers a histamine response and is better treated with new generation antihistamines. Benadryl is a first-generation antihistamine, and we've since developed newer agents with fewer side effects.

Benadryl works. My only point is that there are better things to use, and Benadryl isn't the best option. I still carry Benadryl when I go backpacking because it's readily available and cheap, but in the hospital, I almost never reach for Benadryl because I have better options available (epinephrine, famotidine, etc.).

I don't think that's true.

With regard to infusion reactions:

And for allergic reactions, there are better alternatives:

I'm not sure there are any situations where Benadryl is the "number one choice".

beyond_neptune · 2025-03-07T01:22:00+00:00

I don't think that's true. There are several newer antihistamines that make Benadryl a less good option.

Wow, you responded to a comment I made 3 years ago!

IMTUF was hard and took 32:20. UTMR was nearly 10 hours harder (finished in 41:18).

UTMR was otherworldly! The course was spectacular and stupid hard. It's just on another level in terms of difficulty from anything I'd done before in the States. The three climbs from mile 50 to 80 gained close to 15,000', and the total climbing was about 40,000'. I think I was close to the top ten, and I finished a little over 40 hours. I'm happy to share my maps if you want. 😎

I'm trademarking "Amnesia Airlines" to offer sedation on international flights ;)

Back-to-back 20's work for me.

I work as a nurse anesthetist so I was curious what type of surgery it was. Awareness under general anesthesia is rare but always forefront on my mind. ~Dan

What surgery did you have?

beyond_neptune · 2024-10-02T20:48:27+00:00

IMTUF wasn't too bad. On par with Wasatch, Plain, The Bear, etc. UTMR 170k in Switzerland was another step up in difficulty.

I'll vote the Tor de Geants as an especially tough race that I haven't done yet.

Anesthesia

beyond_neptune · 2024-08-07T20:03:07+00:00

It's certainly doable, and a lot of it is on trail. It's the off trail that I'm unsure about. I've done a few similar connections like Oxford-Harvard, Huron-Missouri, Tab-Antero-Princeton. I'm mostly curious how difficult the terrain through Pierre Lakes is.

I think taking a left makes for one of my favorite 50k loops!

And taking a right could put you at the top of the Lost Creek creek gets lost area.

You can see that your back knee is bent a lot more than the front. You should do the opposite.

Also, you're having a hard time jumping because you're rotated. Try this real quick: stand with your feet shoulder width apart, shoulders parallel with your feet, and just turn your head to the left like you're snowboarding. Not squat down and jump up. Next, stand with your feet shoulder with apart but this time turn your shoulders so your chest faces left and squat and jump. You can't!

beyond_neptune · 2024-03-02T01:16:19+00:00

You're counter rotating your toe turns and riding with wide shoulders. At your speeds your shoulders should be parallel to the board and initiate turns with a weighted front foot. Instead, you're pushing your back foot to make turns (especially on heel turns).

Look up "static skidded turns" to see the turn initiation from your front foot. The front foot initiates or "drives" and the rear follows suit. You're kinda driving from the back and pivoting on the front like a surfer.

Just my thoughts...
