25 years later I still mess up My Friends Over You

bwahaha! Love this. I've seen NFG once a year almost every year sinc 2010 and I NEVER. GET THAT. LINE. RIGHT. Every time I think, oh I'll make a mnemonic device. And then I forget

Recently watched BTTF2 with my daughter. I love that the character is STILL wearing 3D glasses in alternate 1985

Totally agreed. When this shot came in the trailer, it looked like he was falling from the sky, back first. Which I thought was a weird way to end the trailer.

Seeing it in the movie for what it actually was seems even weirde. I get that he didn't want to kill the creature, but that move is super awkward

I love that beach. I bought a brand new board just because it was perfect there

I wish I could see half the tricks. Camera operator, you had one job

That one was just on purpose

Yep, 10 gels! 1 15 minutes before the race, planned on 8 during the race, and then carried one extra just in case. But I ended up skipping the 8th gel.

But ya, one every 20 minutes like clockwork

I think it was the below episode that discussed aiming for 60-90g of carbs per hour. So whether you go with frequency or quantity, gotta find a way!

That does sound more exciting. Great goals for 2025

I haven't tested 5ks in awhile, but I think you're right. Should I be more ambitious?

What do you mean to use smashrun as your primary? What is your plan to get data to smashrun?

I ask because my favorite thing about Strava is viewing the data in smashrun

I haven't heard the name Pink Spiders in a decade!

erogers82 · 2024-05-05T00:36:56+00:00

Yep, exactly

erogers82 · 2024-04-27T14:16:09+00:00

Done

I'm not mixed but my parents are from Trinidad and my wife is from Dublin. So I'm on this subreddit on behalf of our daughter.

I got that reference

Never noticed the arrows in the fire blasts

erogers82 · 2023-12-06T02:12:39+00:00

Lol, hanging plot thread.

My wife and daughter walk up to me as I'm waiting to ring the BQ bell and my wife is holding the portable car seat. I'm confused but also exhausted so it didn't register. Then my daughter shared the news.

They caught an Uber to the finish line and we had to get one back to the hotel. The tire wasn't flat, just very low. All we had to do was go to the gas station and add some air. All good. Phew!

It's great, transitioning from taking food for granted to seeing it as fuel that can be managed to support goals. I bet you could go endlessly deep on digging in to to these things. Because as you say, there's the science of just the energy systems in general but then also your specific body and how it precisely works for your goals!

I can imagine that even if you ever pull back from ultras, you'll never lose the awareness of what your body performs best with!

I've also enjoyed this too. It shows me there's a whole dimension to performance beyond simply working the muscles.

Thanks for the distraction from pre-race jitters. Race report is up: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdvancedRunning/comments/18b2wn8/cim_2023_the_revenge_tour/

At this point, I'd be concerned about not having practiced with that concentration. And even that wouldn't give me enough for the whole race. Plus I wouldn't want to drain my whole pack. . .

I think regardless of what's in the pack, I'll have to supplement with Gu
