I would not want to spread bad (and potentially dangerous) advice on your behalf!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you enjoyed your first experience on the Western States trail. Hope you won't get lost on D-Day, since you are unlikely to follow anyone... ;-)<BR/><BR/>Have good 100-mile tapering (!) weeks and see you in Auburn!<BR/><BR/>Jean.Jean Pommierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590228467214315945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-77096752360716307642008-06-08T12:32:00.000-07:002008-06-08T12:32:00.000-07:00jean-I'm impressed; very solid three days of runni...jean-<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed; very solid three days of running. I must say, though, that this time of year (i.e. summer) I definitely carry water on most runs of 25 miles or more and usually take a gel or two with me as well...I HAVE done runs of up to 30ish miles/4hrs without water or gels (certainly not 40 miles) but they are almost always in the winter time when temps are much lower.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted you to know that you in no way should feel like age is hindering you--I need water and calories, too!<BR/><BR/>Tony<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Even if my weekend were free, doubt my toddler or my wife would stand for it. Sounds like you are very prepared for States.

I cannot even imagine. <BR/><BR/>I was wondering how you'd feel about Anton Krupicka's methods at the end of the 3 days. He's probably been running like that for so long now that it's nothing to him. And yes, he's young! <BR/><BR/>Looks like you had a great weekend running AND with your family. Isn't that the best? <BR/><BR/>When I lived in Cupertino I ran at Rancho so often, and I LOVED it. I miss it there. I'll have to get back and run those trails again sometime soon.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to reading about your Diablo 50K.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03438263015078788527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-91908369101426686462008-05-29T11:04:00.000-07:002008-05-29T11:04:00.000-07:00Jean,Very impressive!

At Western States you can explain to me why!<BR/><BR/>As for my own paltry 20K, I'm not sure that being beaten by seconds for a second straight year is something to be excited about! But thanks for the kudos anyway.
