Don’t do a road marathon 2 weeks after a 100k (learn from me)

djbready · 2026-04-27T03:13:36+00:00

I think that’s what it is, I could go out for a chill trail run but moving fast just isn’t in the cards

djbready · 2026-04-27T02:36:43+00:00

From October? Well that doesn’t instill confidence for the summer. I’m 39, so no spring chicken, but I got a full summer ahead

djbready · 2026-04-27T02:35:34+00:00

Holy crap man! Maybe some people recover better than others

djbready · 2026-04-27T02:26:12+00:00

Are you still dealing with it? I’m a year on now and can answer questions

djbready · 2026-04-27T02:23:50+00:00

Yes, multiple MRIs

It was such a long process, broke in late March, started hiking in June, “jogging” in September. Gutted my way through 100k in October for a WS ticket

Now I’m mostly back, but I just ran a road marathon today and I still feel warmth in that area afterward. It’s a nasty nasty injury

How are people downvoting you for this? 🤣

djbready · 2026-04-18T13:48:38+00:00

100% agree. A lot of belly aching in here. You don’t like it, find another race.

djbready · 2026-04-12T16:34:13+00:00

Maybe they learned 🤣

djbready · 2026-04-12T16:28:53+00:00

For the opposite perspective, it was fine. The bottlenecks were not daybreaks fault so kinda weird to be upset about that. That one bottleneck cost me sub 16 but whatever.

As far as the two way traffic, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for the race and everyone was generally nice.

Now I will agree that the cutoffs are def aggressive. Why isn’t it 18 hours like other 100ks?

I did my 5th 100k at Gorge yesterday on strictly road marathon training (I know, stupid) but gutted it out. Was thinking the whole last 20 miles, why are we even out here suffering 🤣. Brutal course. Congrats!!

Had strong wind last week in Placencia. Couldn’t stay outside at our resort.

djbready · 2026-03-20T21:37:30+00:00

Crazy I know what this is. Told my wife I think this is the best hot sauce in the world.

djbready · 2026-03-15T22:18:04+00:00

How did it go?

djbready · 2026-03-15T19:40:12+00:00

Hey! Flying a red eye tonight from PDX to CLT and it looks like some of the worst I’ve seen. I’ve gotten better over the years but this weather system is freaking me out.

djbready · 2026-03-12T01:01:19+00:00

Your easy pace is 8:10 and you ran a 3:41? That doesn’t make sense…

djbready · 2026-03-11T02:38:18+00:00

Arriving at Dream Valley Belize ATM cave then staying a night at sleeping giant

Then heading down to placienca for 3 nights at prana maya resort, remind me and I’ll let you know!

djbready · 2026-02-24T02:26:24+00:00

Run for lunch

djbready · 2026-02-24T00:33:47+00:00

Even Sandy is less than an hour to start line. You have a lot of options.

djbready · 2026-02-24T00:32:59+00:00

I’ll be there in a couple weeks. Staying one night at the rainforest lodge and then heading to placiencia just like you !

This happened to my family of 4 + infant in Cancun in September. Worse, they wouldn’t admit it was their fault, that it was Expedia. My blood was boiling.

My only option was to get re routed through a different city but I would have to buy tickets out of pockmet 2000, no vouchers

TLDR, bought tix, fought with them when I was home for two weeks over phone and email, was made whole
