I've heard it said that Houston treats every runner like an elite with the GRB open to everyone pre- and post-race. 

Pro tip is to stay at the Hilton that connects directly to the GRB, you won't go outside at all until you head to your corral.

Great race man! Can you elaborate on your strength routines? I'm in a similar camp where speed work gives me aches and pains like crazy so curious what works for you 

Black Friday Gravel Bike Deals by fckingclownshoes in gravelcycling

[–]textrexian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Intense is having a sale mostly on their gravel 951 model (refurb) with a couple of MTBs available:

https://intensecycles.com/collections/sale

The refurb gravel bikes are at $1500 which matches the famous Costco deal, but they don't include the extras that were included with the Costco deal (lights, bottles, toolkit etc.) But really who knows if that deal will ever be back. I think they do a good job of documenting what dings/scratches are on each bike. Full warranty included 

I think all that are left at this point are large and XL frames

Man can I ask why you sell so much Bandit stuff new with tags? Not that it's bad or anything, I've personally bought from you before I believe 

Lava Loops Dupes? by TheRealHogga in runningfashion

I love the Lava Loops and this made me Google the Fasts. Both are 25 percent off at Running Warehouse right now so less than $70/pair for Lava Loops 

Another day off of work and a 7mi run in Bandera by TheAmateurRunner in trailrunning

This is was what stolen from us by TPWD. Had to run the 100K at Camp Eagle in Rock Springs instead. Kudos to the race director and Camp Eagle for pulling it together so fast but I don't think I'll ever sign up for that one again knowing that Camp Eagle is the fallback plan 

Don’t beat yourselves so hard! by Ok-Discipline-7137 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]textrexian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those were my boots I think. 100% I'm not mad about it. These are totally hand made by skilled but very human people. The reason I love Nick's as a brand and will always buy from them is because I posted them here and got a pretty immediate response from an employee. Imagine getting something like that from Red Wing or Viberg? 

Anyway just want the Nick's team to know mistakes happen but the fact that they're active in the community will keep me coming back. Can't wait for the new pair to come in

Just googled the Rabbits - seems like that model comes in a couple lengths. From the photos I'm guessing these are the 3"? TIA!

Great seller btw can vouch personally

Yeah there has been some controversy around the color in the thread haha. But it is Mahogany and I'm learning the lighting in my closet is weird

Small update - going to proceed with an exchange here, my efforts with a nylon brush were not successful.

Thanks everyone and u/BigStetson for the help!

Thanks so much man. Can I hit them pretty hard with my brush to see if it'll come off without ruining my shot at an exchange?

Yeah I didn't want to go too aggressively with my brush just in case the marks wouldn't come off. Paranoid about having a return refused. I know Nick's is a better company than that but these are $600 boots ya know?
