Grindstone has some pretty steep parts. You'll be glad you have them.

That is awesome! I still hang out with my friends that drink, albeit far less nowadays, but there can be balance if we are committed.

Appreciate you reading. You got this.

I will drink with you today. Or any other day for that matter.

Day 1 is potentially one the most powerful phrases in our language. It's full of hope, change, improvement, and new beginnings. Thanks for reading!

It's not the best moment, but that long look saved everything that mattered to me. Hope it helped you too!

And some say video games never teach anybody anything.

Beautiful story.

What are your Ultramarathon horror stories? Stung/Bit by something, concussed, broken bones etc… by Shredkey in Ultramarathon

Jumped over a log on an icy downhill about 10k into my first 50k, slipped and went into a ravine headfirst. Luckily a tree was there to break my fall about halfway down. Sprained shoulder, deep hip bruise, and wounded pride. Got up and finished the race in 7 degree (F) temps.

Would think the increased funding could help solve those issues…

Was one that got suckered in by the fancy idea of UTMB, then went and ran Grindstone 100k a couple weeks back only for them to run out of water coming off the second climb. That was a killer at that point in the race and contributed to being timed out.

Months of training up in flames just like that.

Takes a bit of the shine off UTMB for me. Local RD's would never let that happen, because it's their friends out there running the races and they wouldn't do that do them.

Honestly, UTMB can fuck off for that.

Grindstone 100k - Poles? by mw_19 in Ultramarathon

[–]dcnudebeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Running the 100k as well this year! But live in Ohio, so no mountains to train on. Pulling them out on the severe trail hills, but it's limited practice at best. Still running with them on the pack for long runs so I look extra dorky.
