@@wk633 I can't speak for others, but for me it was a 2.5L bladder + 2x 500 mL soft front of my vest + 500mL hard flask in my bag/back of my salomon Adv Skin 12. And a running belt for ultraspire (speedgoat) that has 2x500mL hard flask. All the flask were tailwind (I carried some powder with me from the start), and the bladder was water. I also had 2 spare tailwind pack for the water refill (you get 2 x 1L refills on that segment). That's only up until crown king. No need to carry as much water later - so I left my bladder at my dropbag at Crown King (37ish) in exchange for warm clothes. Also, I wouldnl't always refill 100% (particularly the hard flask in my bag - empty at night)
@@wk633 ua-cam.com/users/shortst228kJLOQB0?si=_wLm3KkX0bDXqhdP check out this shorts video I posted about it the day before the race. I’ll gladly share product details afterwards, if you’d like.
Wow that was crazy! Jagged rocky trails early and wide open flats later. No wonder your feet suffered. Amazing you are doing so well. Vid and music are great as always
Thank you! I wouldn’t say it’s harder, they’re just totally different animals. This one was especially difficult just because I had just finished another 200 miler 3 weeks earlier, the Southern States 200. Feet weren’t fully healed and body not fully recovered.
Thank you! Well, the part 2 and the conclusion will be on my channel later today. There may be a third installment sharing my crew’s journey and perspective of the race in the near future:-)
Great video! Random q: would you say... a 200/250 miler race mentally/physically less stressful than a typical 100-miler? (since time is more generous (?)/able to sleep more (?)). I put question marks since I don't know all details of SS and Cocodona's info, haha.
True recovery is definitely longer after a 200. Ability to sleep is easier for some than others. Unfortunately, I have not been able shut my brain off to sleep much during any of my six 200+ mile finishes. I slept the most during the Spine Race, which had individual tents for runners. Most other events I had to manage on 2.5 hours of sleep over the course of up to 140 hours. In other words muscle soreness is the least important factor in recovery. I believe prolonged lack of sleep and general stress on body and mind are the ones to worry about. Not sure this helps in finding your answer.
thanks for sharing, can't wait for the second half.
That first day towards Lane Mountain is a real butt kicker!
Thanks! Just finished watching yours, great stuff as usual! Yeah, Lane Mountain led to my overheating.
@@ultrakraut yeah...it was "hot" haha
I'd be interested in knowing how you guys carried 4-6l of water. A bladder I assume for some? How much in the front? Where did you put other bottles?

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, my feet and heat continue to be biggest issue slowing me down. Still working on that:-)
Thank you for sharing your adventure. I was excited to see that so many well known social media producers were running this year.

nice! I'm doing this next year -- and the Silky Smooth by Audio Hertz song at minute 49 or so is one I use sometimes in my videos!
Good luck next year, I already have FOMO:-)
Really nice. I'm hoping for a trilogy :-D .
