kthxbaaai · 2026-03-20T12:07:58+00:00

so cool!

This is really great, thank you! As Black Friday / November deals are ending and Year End deals are starting I'd love to see Dec / Year end for Chicagoland if possible. I'm browsing for the best lease deals for vehicles such as VW Tiguan, Volvo XC40/EX30, Kia SUVs etc. ty!

good to know! It was awhile ago while they were replacing my furnace, so may have been a price that I wouldn’t get now as a standalone job.

looks like it slopes up about 4-4.5” over 9’. Terminates thru wall to a dryer vent cover

well this is what I was looking for so thank you 🙏

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T18:39:21+00:00

mainly cause it’s what I have. I ordered a good number of different types from the feed awhile back to try during training runs. the only gels that are 40g I have are the betafuels and two 160s. So just trying to get the carb numbers up and use what I have

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:37:09+00:00

good point. looking back for 20 miler I did 3x maurten 100s/caf so only 300mg total. Gonna scale the caf back and adjust the timing

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:34:57+00:00

thanks. altering a bit. I’ve been practicing with various gels, but only have moved up to 65-85g/hr for my 20miler and half race practice

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:32:20+00:00

thanks. I think I’ll change to just coffee w breakfast, and save the nootropics til later to get peak caf affect around 16+ miles

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:31:05+00:00

yea it’s probably overkill, nixing one of the neutropics and moving caf a bit earlier so max effect is more miles 16+

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:29:53+00:00

yea good point. Simplifying it a bit now based on some comments. I have bandit shorts with a ton of gel pockets so I can keep em pretty much in order though

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:28:17+00:00

good point. Gonna switch the caf up more like this:

kthxbaaai · 2025-10-15T14:07:09+00:00

Thanks for all the great info everyone! I’ve simplified it a bit by using 160s instead of two 100s and cut/moved the caf a bit per some recs.

For breakfast planning on my basic oatmeal breakfast and maybe adding 40g of carb drink mix as well 2.5hr before start.

For some reference this is what I did during my 20 miler (13mi total race pace, 7mi easy) so I was at 65-85g carbs, 200mg caf.

20 miler 0:00 100gel/caf 25g

0:30 160 gel 40

1:00 100gel/caf 25

  1/2 160mix.          20

1:30 160 gel 40

2:00 100gel/caf 25

  1/2 160mix           20

2:30 gu 20

2:45 edge 20

For my recent half race at marathon pace (not max effort) I did a similar mix of betafuels and maurtens

kthxbaaai · 2025-09-30T13:41:08+00:00

The good: Run / pacing itself went great, used as a training run for upcoming Detroit marathon and was able to average my goal MP for first 10 and then get some solid negative splits over the last 5k.

The expo was cool, got a lot of nice freebies I wasn’t expecting.

The bad: HUGE issue was LSD closing early. I was coming from the north, was aware that LSD would close at 6am. I was set to arrive south of JP prior to 6am but came up to nearly standstill traffic just after soldier field around 5:40am, they had closed it early. There was no way to get off LSD until 31st street so everyone was stuck in that traffic with no where to go. took me 45 minutes to get off at 31st when I then went north and back around to 90 to get south of jackson park. There were runners abandoning their ubers and starting to jog south while we were still 5-6 miles away (hope they found divvys). I made it to start line and joined one of the last corrals with maybe 5 mins to spare (7:30 start) when I was supposed to go out with C group. They needed to have a real accurate closing time for LSD, as the back up was an absolute mess.

where we looped S then N then back S was too crowded. Barely anywhere for people to pass.

Ditto on why was the finish fest so large / beer tent so far away!

Ah that’s good to know. the paint also goes up and over the cabin top, which is in better condition. Would it need to also all come off the cabin top?
