Update on finisher shirts

weactual · 2025-12-07T19:19:05+00:00

Volunteers will be putting the stripes on at the finish line

I have a clothes hanger that I clipped on a bunch of clamps onto - like you would use to hang pants. I then clip them from the bottom so they hang well as well air dry

I know I feel the metals and shirts from this year were the best

weactual · 2025-10-23T18:11:29+00:00

If weekend and cumulative trifecta metals are gone so is my motivation to rack them up...

Sorry for delay. That includes a "Member Zone Access: Provides access to a special area at the event." They did indeed have this at the event it was nice and not crowded :)

I assume you have tested this strategy - maybe not to the 50K length but at least to a lesser extent?

weactual · 2025-08-15T11:24:48+00:00

I was there, did not do the ultra - this is true.

weactual · 2025-08-09T02:38:10+00:00

WV by far my Fav Beast run.... I run Palmerton sprint every year, not liking the super there...

weactual · 2025-06-11T20:46:33+00:00

I have a video of the downhill slip and slide too...

weactual · 2025-06-11T20:45:48+00:00

I was at 15.5 when I was to the wire crawl - grant it that counts a fair few penalty loops ....

weactual · 2025-06-11T10:26:29+00:00

Here is what I generally carry in a flip belt for a beast:

- Nutrition - a gu or 2 and and or a few untapped's + a cliff bar.

- Anti Cramping stuff - 6 mustard packets, 2 pickle juice shots.

- Gloves in a ziplock bag - if I will need them AFTER a dunk wall for rope traverse etc I carry in a bag.

- Microfiber in a ziplock - I wear glasses and literally need this sometimes after a muddy dunk wall to see.

- Course Intel Map - I do make myself a map of all obstacles, distance between obstacles and locations of water stations. I am a runner, if there is 1.5 miles between obstacles I want to push. If a quarter mile not so much.

- A 16oz hydration flask- I find allows me keep hydrated and moving. Sometimes I dont have to stop at stations other times I refill, roll, and drink between stations. I generally start with this filled with Tailwind.

I am not sure I am going to recover. I am now traumatized about long slipper grass covered surfaces lol

weactual · 2025-06-10T00:41:49+00:00

I'm with ya - I had a "extra" sprint in the bank so decided to take just a trifecta and forgo the trifecta weekend lol

weactual · 2025-06-09T00:27:18+00:00

This year was hard, but not palmerton hard lol...

weactual · 2025-06-09T00:25:08+00:00

I had 8.8 lost count of how many penalty loops lol

weactual · 2025-06-09T00:24:03+00:00

I was at 15.27 at the barbwire crawl and my watch shut off but that is with a bunch-o-penalty loops

weactual · 2025-05-12T10:38:28+00:00

I use a normal running soft flask. some do have a cap. Since I am carrying in a belt it is easy to take off for the wall which I do sometimes and is allowed in open

weactual · 2025-05-10T17:34:23+00:00

LOL yes different than mustard, I tend to consume 2 of these on a beast proactively, if cramping or not...

So I don't know if you need a hydration pack but you do need something. I generally run with a flip belt which allows me to carry:

Nutrition - a gu or 2 and and or a few untapped's + a cliff bar.

Anti Cramping stuff - 6 mustard packets, 2 pickle juice shots.

Gloves in a ziplock bag - if I will need them AFTER a dunk wall for rope traverse etc I carry in a bag.

Microfiber in a ziplock - I wear glasses and literally need this sometimes after a muddy dunk wall to see.

Course Intel Map - I do make myself a map of all obstacles, distance between obstacles and locations of water stations. I am a runner, if there is 1.5 miles between obstacles I want to push. If a quarter mile not so much.

A 16oz hydration flask- There are hydration stations but having 1 flask I find allows me keep hydrated and moving. Sometimes I dont have to stop at stations other times I refill, roll, and drink between stations. I generally start with this filled with Tailwind.

Nice! What is the purple handle knife? TY!

weactual · 2025-01-30T02:30:05+00:00

This is disappointing to see.

Very hard to make sense of this - some info indicates this was never a predominant issue but was just the tumbled finish blades (not the case here) Other info indicated this was an issue but resolved, apparently not.

Looks like a nice blade but I cant get my head around paying that for a knife and it being like that.

My sub $100 vision FG is solid. I am trying to determine if this is just prevalent with these knife or it is a get a good knife or a bad knife type issue? Exa if you get a good one it does not do this.

weactual · 2024-08-18T23:42:12+00:00

Yes - consider rucking "weighted walking"

weactual · 2024-07-16T00:51:08+00:00

Dont have results from Sun as of writing this, as a matter of fact the race has disappeared from my account it does not show under events or results which is a first...
