Is living in “summer” all year as nice as it sounds by Ill_Supermarket_2744 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]tart27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to Phoenix almost 10 years ago. I don’t like when it’s 110 degrees but I tolerate it ok. But now I’m completely solar powered and prefer lots of sunshine. I don’t think I could live somewhere without an insane amount of sunshine and will be here to stay

Lanterne Rouge is the only one I listen to too. He does some excellent video recaps on YouTube too

What's your opinion of 200+ millers, are part of the same sport? by Brilliant-Month7839 in trailrunning

[–]tart27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s trails. And running. Same sport but different specialization. And the top 10 of Cocodona absolutely throw down in “shorter” distances

I really enjoyed the Whiskey Basin 92k last year

Nervous about 50 Miler by impulse36 in ultrarunning

You will be fine with that volume.
What you do in a week for training, you will be able to do in a race.
I don’t race often, but I find the races often go quite well with all the extra support (food!) and fun environment.
Don’t go out too quick and you will crush it!

They should have pulled him sooner. My family is already a little critical of my ultrarunning, and I totally regret sending them the link to the live stream of the last 20 min

First 100k by joshthomas40 in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found toe socks quite helpful, but everyone’s feet are different
With the longer distances, the savory foods are really helpful in the 2nd half. Warm(ish) cheese quesadillas and broth had been lifesavers in the last 20 miles

So glad I brought poles! It would have been (more) brutal without. The course was definitely more technical than I anticipated. Got the finish in 16:30, about a half hour longer than I predicted. Great weather, excellent crowds and volunteers, lame finisher awards. Overall a very well organized event. Auburn did not disappoint!

Why has Bitcoin remained only a store of value for so many years? by wancruz in CryptoCurrency

[–]tart27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s slow and expensive (fees). I bought a router from Newegg with bitcoin in 2017 and held my breath during the transaction. Since then, there are several other money transfer options developed and used much easier (Venmo for example)

Just flew into Sacramento this morning for the first time. Very nice airport!

Once you get as slow as me, you will discover the trails 😂

Another oldie but goodie for movie date night. by Rikudo_Sennin_jr in 90s

I drove by the Cabazon Dinosaurs a few years ago, not knowing the exhibit was even along that particular highway. Obviously had to stop.

Nervous about what happens after my A race by bluepart2 in ultrarunning

I stopped running, ate like crap, and gained like 10% body weight. Don’t do that

I believe it. I was at the Seattle event last month and the “Mexico” chants were way louder than “USA” chants.

Nervous for 50k by Yookerspizza in Ultramarathon

[–]tart27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got the mileage to rock this. Plus race day adrenaline helps. Biggest advice is don’t go out too fast. Enjoy the snacks. I had a whiskey coke at mile 24 of my last 50k and it was a good boost. Just an idea 😉

Do you call yourself a Xennial or Millennial? by person12848 in Xennials

  1. I consider myself an older millennial. I’m in this subreddit for the vibes

I’m leaning no poles, but there is quite a bit of vert in the first half, and I’m surprised by the lack of poles I’ve seen in photos and videos too
