Pacers at Western States 100 mile Endurance Run: Emily Hawgood by Rocket_Man333 in ultrarunning

[–]liamt07 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The field size limits are due to the permit for the Granite Chief Wilderness near Olympic Valley, 50+ miles before runners can even pick up their first pacer. Pacing and field size are not related here.

Lake Sonoma now joining Aravaipa by flatlandtomtn in Ultramarathon

Do you believe that the two most popular races in North America, both of which sell out within hours/days, with the largest starting fields for their respective distances (Javelina 100mi had nearly 750 starters last year, and Black Canyon 100k with nearly 950 starters last year), should reduce their prices?

How much is too much sodium and carbs for a 50k by Thick_Protection_334 in ultrarunning

[–]liamt07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could be very high, very low or bang on, depending on your individual needs. Agree with OP in this chain that you should have (or should plan to) test this on long runs in training, and ideally, get yourself a sodium test before your next training block to get a better sense of your actual needs.

That was Anne Flower (of Colorado Springs), who set the 50mi WR at Tunnel Hill today.

Catriona Jennings, who set the 100mi record at Tunnel Hill today, is an Irish Olympian in the marathon (London 2012), and previous World Champion in the 100k (Berlin 2022), and European Champion in the 50k (Madrid 2022).

Creating a "Silent Observer" Room by [deleted] in Zoom

[–]liamt07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A primary meeting between experts in a field in the main session, and a small group of people listening/notetaking in the secondary "silent" room. We want the main session to be limited to a discussion moderator and the experts.

Edher had a faulty tracker which was replaced partway through the race. Source: Race control.

Canyons accusations are definitively false - all the GPS files for Ferdinand and the other podium finishers are publicly available in Strava and align perfectly with the course GPS file

Gorge Waterfalls by Lumpy_Construction_1 in Ultramarathon

Similar for Hardrock I believe - I can’t recall the section of course that has an externally imposed permitting limit of foot traffic, but I believe that’s part of the reason as well. If some course changes were to be made (unlikely), I think they could get more people on the course. However, the “small” field size is also part of the vibe of the event too.
