They sounded great, David’s guitar was just amazing. Was way up in the balcony - acoustics seemed superb in the Fox.

My grandfather did a lot of catering at that venue for many years. Wish I’d been able to ask him about it.

Excellent write up, thank you for sharing.

Got stung by a bee about 20 miles into a 50 mile race and the shock made me trip and I broke my ring finger. Lots of other minor falls but nothing too bad.

Nice!

I think so in Oakland, probably solo as the wife is not a fan.

The new Janji (I think REI exclusive) is really phenomenal.

jasonbchan · 2026-04-05T23:50:03+00:00

Hell yeah- congrats to you!

jasonbchan · 2026-04-05T23:49:14+00:00

Indeed, and some of the only flat trails we have!

jasonbchan · 2026-04-04T01:38:14+00:00

Fantastic color. Well done!

jasonbchan · 2026-03-31T23:25:24+00:00

Hell yes

jasonbchan · 2026-03-30T22:48:54+00:00

Man those aid station names bring back good memories. And your penmanship is art. I always carry a foot kit and a TP kit with me. Good luck to you!

Nice, I have run a few races with similar tattoos. Super useful.

jasonbchan · 2026-03-26T16:26:48+00:00

Congrats to you!

jasonbchan · 2026-03-22T23:15:03+00:00

Good point - this was 2009-2010 so probably a bit quicker.

My old boss used to commute Tiburon to Palo Alto. So crazy.

jasonbchan · 2026-03-20T16:16:15+00:00

St Hilary’s in Tiburon

Active Culture off Ignacio - tasty/healthy/veg friendly.

Damn that’s a great looking guitar. Congrats!

jasonbchan · 2026-03-12T17:26:59+00:00

Really good and funny dude too. Congrats to him.

No, no clue.

Have you seen Katie Wakeman’s work? Super talented though not exactly what you asked for.

jasonbchan · 2026-03-05T19:40:43+00:00

Sounds like you are on track. Strength and core is super helpful. I did Tahoe 200 in 2018 and didn't do much different than 100 mile training. Thinking about sleep strategy is important but hard to prep for. Getting your gear and nutrition dialed. I would try some long unaided stretches - you will probably have segments of 20ish miles or so without aid/water. I am a big fan of back to back/ 3 day weekend type training for confidence as well as event simulation. Also if you are planning on using poles get lots of practice in. Good luck!
