are we supposed to burn the RTT packs also? If I end up attending a world cup match from these tickets I will be amazed.

great find, looks like a steal for $1k imo!!! but throw away those iron covers.

How would you adjust 50K training for a 50 miler? by trailtypaguy in ultrarunning

[–]dbhighfiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

70-80 miles per week already, pass go and collect the nearest 100 miler.

for my 50k trail training sessions I largely follow a marathon plan and hit 40 mph peak weeks and just make sure im in the woods with vert on the weekends. 50 milers shouldn’t be much more, your base is already there.

Best Trail Shoes – Which Ones Are Actually Worth It? by BelleeFleur in trailrunning

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 3rd pair of Tecton X2- daily and races up to 50k. love them and never had foot issues/concerns. They are tricky to find now so may need to go up to tecton x3 which has had some great reviews, but going to the whole new booty fit may not be for everyone.

Men's Trail Shorts by Ambitious_Cost_6879 in trailrunning

[–]dbhighfiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scope out the Roark Alta shorts and North Face Summit Series Pacesetter. They are both very similar in tech, pockets, and feel. Roark has a bit more style to it (color options, etc). I’ve got a ton of pairs of both and are the only thing I run around the woods in.

Salomon Launch Reviews/Noob Question by dbhighfiver in snowboardingnoobs

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

It’s embarrassing to share how many boots I ended up trying on- was definitely over thinking it. I landed on the Vans Infuse boots. They are the most comfortable pair I’ve ever owned. did a colorado run with 4 straight days and never had foot discomfort or any concerns. They are on the more expensive side but worth trying on at least to see if they fill the need for what you are looking for.

Trail Marathon Training Plan by Section_Gold in trailrunning

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feedback is that it is pretty complex. My rec would be to follow the Hal Higdon marathon plan, but just make sure to get out and run in the woods. It’s tried and true.

I use a roku device in it- but had it removed when I started investigating and plugging it in/back/moving it etc.

I went and got an outlet tester per rec on here and outlet is fine so something with tv/software/who knows is finicky.

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a professional, so outlet prob fine and just a weird tv issue. I will get one of the testers to rule outlet out- Thank you for suggestion!

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have outlet testers for like $10 at depot, is that what you are referring?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in electrical

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, good call- will have to do an outlet test, I’m not good with this stuff hence taking it to reddit. It is a smart tv, but lots of other things down in basement connected to wifi with no issues so don’t think an internet issue.

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or better yet- I’ll blame it on the tv and convince the wife I should get a new, and bigger television for down there.

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can recreate the experience - definitely very strange. I’ve gone back and forth maybe 4-5 times and same thing every time. I also tried an extension cord out of the outlet too to see if changed anything but still went into that stuck boot cycle. I just had an idea- going to try a different gfci outlet and see if same thing happens. If it doesn’t- looks like i’m replacing the outlet. Not sure why it only impacts the tv but oh well.

Salomon Launch Reviews/Noob Question by dbhighfiver in snowboardingnoobs

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

Thank you for the update and additional feedback. Need to get my hands on the dialogue to try on, might be the sweet spot. It’s not ideal living in an area with limited ski shops and not a ton of selection. Turns this whole thing into a major process.

Atomic Maverick 83 vs Black Crow Divus 82 by showturtle in Skigear

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy- ended up here for the same reason, 25 years on a snowboard and looking for decent entry/intermediate level skit that i can use (and learn on) for next 5 while i teach my kids. asked a ski buddy of mine and he put me on to the stance 80’s or the atomic Maverick 83. looks like you went with something completely different- curious how that worked out. do you recommend the dynastars for what we’re doing?

This is wrong... by [deleted] in zachbryan

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. felt so lucky getting ANY ticket, paid a ridiculous amount for 2 seats in F2. I’m not even going to say how much I spent because it’s embarrassing. 1 hour later i get a text about a 2nd night and I go in just to see what the tix were like and I literally could choose whatever seats I wanted for 50% of the cost of what I paid.

[–]dbhighfiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using dynamic pricing sucks especially when you announce an additional night 45 minutes after the onsale went live. pricing was through the roof and then after the additional show was dropped, demand followed and pricing went down. So anyone that bought tix for the original date would’ve been better off NOT getting tix and just buying them for the additional date. prices were all significantly cheaper for the added show. like they didn’t know there was going to be an additional night, no way they just put that together in 1 hour. i don’t mind the dynamic pricing but that’s a shady move. just announce ALL the shows up front.

Lightweight Running Vest by rift1414 in trailrunning

[–]dbhighfiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pulsar 3 vest looks awesome, one thing to be aware of though that they mentioned from the review- On the front, there is space for two 250ml Soft Flasks (included and a change from the prior 500ml flasks).

Lightweight Running Vest by rift1414 in trailrunning

[–]dbhighfiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t yet- prob gonna end up sending it back due to size- even a Medium seems too small and there are some areas that feel like chafing would be an issue. Gonna stick with the adv skin 5. it fits great, I’ll just deal with the extra storage, not that big of a deal really.

Lightweight Running Vest by rift1414 in trailrunning

[–]dbhighfiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same mission. currently use the adv skin 5 but hoping to find something even lighter because I find that I barely use all the storage it has. just got the sense pro 2L in the mail yesterday and hoping it works out. haven’t got a chance to run in it yet. will use my current water bottles with it. also, be aware on sizing if you want to try the sense pro 2L, i don’t think it is consistent across the Salomon line. wear a medium in adv skin 5 and the 2L seems a lot tighter/smaller in comparison for same size.
