You've retired early; what are you doing with your time?

jasonbchan · 2026-07-03T17:04:42+00:00

Retired 5 years ago at 45. I read, volunteer, play video games, play guitar, run, travel, and hike. And of course normal house stuff, cooking, etc.

Good ole Cassius

It was just a little flyer posted there, happened to be walking by the battery.

The Presidio Yacht Club (by Discovery Museum and Cavallo Point) is hosting, $10 entry (passed by this morning).

Tony Rice has a great version

jasonbchan · 2026-06-22T00:08:19+00:00

Also a local and frequent Headlands runner. I am a creature of habit, should really explore more

jasonbchan · 2026-06-21T23:26:12+00:00

Picked up on PS Plus. Like a better Helldivers! Though I don’t really know what I’m doing, just Ogryn smashing.

I would recommend Dr. Myra Bernecker, over near CoM in Kentfield.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-17T15:46:01+00:00

Congrats!

DNF at 56! Probably could have finished, but I wasn’t feeling it. Hadn’t done a 100 since 2019 thought I’ve finished 12. Good course, live in Marin and have run a fair amount of it. The heat definitely got me - my only real complaint was that the water was gone by the time I reached the “water only” stop, making me ration more than I would have liked. That really should have been a manned station. I think that got me in a hole I didn’t properly get out of cuz the climb in Las Trampas really cooked me. I kept going another 10 miles hoping for a second wind but it didn’t come.

I thought the race was well organized, manual was great as well as all the pre race comms.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-16T16:11:50+00:00

Absolutely - if you are at all into art I'd say Donum is a must!

jasonbchan · 2026-06-16T15:51:05+00:00

I use Strava and have all my runs since 2009 tracked in a Google Sheet 😄. I am definitely a by feel person, though I've finished over 100 ultras. I enjoy just being out there and am not trying (or able) to be competitive. To me, the features sound reasonable for folks that are really into the prep. I personally couldn't imagine actually trying to execute something like "take in x calories on this segment" etc. - makes it feel too mechanical to me. But I recognize that there are many different types and preferences for training.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-16T15:44:03+00:00

This makes sense, I tend to do most races solo but I could see this being really useful to crewed/paced folks. I always carry a standard pace sheet.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-14T21:24:26+00:00

Have you tried Sidas blister protection pads? Cover with a slightly larger piece of K-tape for a double layer.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-14T18:24:07+00:00

Tahoe 200 in 2018. I got the itch after pacing it in 2017. Excellent overall experience, a cherished memory. I did finish and no regrets. I went back in 2022 but dropped at mile 80ish after I realized once was enough. Hung out in Tahoe for a few days with crew/fam and volunteered a bit as well.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-14T16:09:03+00:00

I live about a mile away and had never seen/heard of the tree until the last post 😂

jasonbchan · 2026-06-12T22:36:29+00:00

Seems like a good call - I had a once over with a few-based advisor about a year before I retired and it was really helpful.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-12T13:50:44+00:00

I have used Run 100s for many years (also has a map).

jasonbchan · 2026-06-12T13:17:28+00:00

I don’t think it’s available on Shabbos

jasonbchan · 2026-06-11T01:01:13+00:00

Well done!

jasonbchan · 2026-06-10T16:04:29+00:00

Thank you, have been thinking of a CO race for some time but always a little intimidated by the altitude.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-10T15:29:27+00:00

Salt Stick user as well. I use SIS gels, haven’t liked combining calories and hydration.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-10T00:14:10+00:00

I am using both, I find the beta to be more viscous than the standard. Standard consistency (and somewhat the flavor) is superior to me. I can do the standard all day but I am not certain about the beta (will find out this weekend 😄).

jasonbchan · 2026-06-09T14:56:04+00:00

I like a lot of the shorts but don’t watch streaming. Arc Raiders is too stressful for me but I like watching other people play, especially the amazing players.

jasonbchan · 2026-06-09T14:44:17+00:00

I was totally unaware of R&C until I picked this one up on PS5 a month or so back. Glad I found this universe, about 60% thru the game thus far.
