My daily driver currently on safari.

Blends in nicely on safari. The 187 however would have been great as well being ripstop.

@goosehd Congrats. Sounds like a great day of racing and yes, races are always different from training. Enjoy the accomplishment and trust me, you will look for new races shortly after you are rested…

@Nocturama sorry for the crappy shot. I was wrong on the model, I have the S1R Baton 2 as my daily driver for the dogs. I don’t need more to find the poop and the dog. It serves me well since many years. Small and handy to clip anywhere but bright enough for regular duties.

I have some olights. On my keychain is a i1R 2 and in my pocket a baton 3. Love these especially walking the dog and camping.

Love em!

@goosehd I see it a bit differently and would go more in line with research. Yes, you may not hit the wall but could you benefit, feel better and perform better? Distance to me is not necessarily a good marker. If I run a half marathon in 75 mins I may be able to run it with just the glycogen in my muscles and liver, however if I race for more than 90mins, everyone can benefit from a carb load and consuming carbs during the race.
To me it depends on intensity and duration, so being out there racing at your personal race intensity for two hours, certainly you will benefit from a carb load and fuel during the race.
As a general rule and what we see with the professional athletes we are working with is around 4-5grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight two days out and 8-12g of carbs per kilogram of body weight the day before. Front load the carbs, so you don’t have to eat too much too late.
But please don’t just carb load as prescribed without testing it. Everyone reacts differently and some may be able to absorb more or need to take less. Same goes for in race fueling. Test taking carbs at race intensity during a simulation or intense workout.

@goosehd practice carb intake. Depending on intensity, adjust your carb intake. Time 2 below, you can work with 30-60g/hour, anything higher practice higher intake of 70+g/hour.
Since you will be longer than 90 mins out there on race day, I would certainly consider a carb load.
Happy to help if needed.

@goosehd will it be a technical trail? If yes, try to get used to roots and rocks in different conditions. Trails are a different beast vs flat roads. Your muscles fatigue a good a bit more.

How did you fuel your run? Have you soaked in fuel and hydration?

@goosehd I use timer, distance, actual pace, avg. pace, HR
I have a second page for lap stats (I manually lap each km,mile).

Some impressions from Chris Stapleton in London O2 arena.

@goosehd love the combo, perfect for fall/autumn season.

@weftyarn These fades! Love it!

Cross post saying it again and again, my favorite pair. Love this denim.

@dinobarnesberlin Heard about Sturgil bing in Berlin. Are planning to get tickets?

In London tomorrow for Chris Stapelton, can't wait!

@Nik A non-wetsuit swim would be a near death experience. Heading to the pool as we speak hahah

@Nik Italy looks like an easier course. Certainly flat bike and run. My only concern is that the water could be too warm for wetsuit. This would kill me haha.

@Nik Makes totally sense and seems like that’s your thing. Since I’ll be my first long distance I want to finish first and ideally below 11h.
