    Bringing two different chamois to change every 12-24 hours is a pro tip and glad to hear you recommend it and practice it. Helps to put on a fresh clean dry chamois that has a different pad structure to reduce discomfort on soft tissue.

    hy Cynthia, with a list like this I could do an ultraride and look like a veteran. most of your tips are good for long distance travellers as well.
    I'm impressed how you meticulously analyse every single aspect of the race, I think that really makes the difference when racing.

    Kind bars and nuts have a ton of fiber. They absolutely destroy my gut.

    • @wattwagon
      @wattwagon  10 місяців тому

      they destroyed mine too! I definitely avoid nuts when racing at this high pace. for something longer I would probably eat nuts occasionally for some protein.

    Don't see myself doing Badlands anytime soon but many of your tips are spot on for any long distance bike trek.
    My 2 cents: never say never to chamois cream! I too have carried it on longer races (three Unbound 200s so far) and never used it or had need.
    But on my last 10 day ride I applied it as a preventative since I heard about a dude dropping out of the Tour Divide with saddle sores. It was feels-like over 100° for several days in a row and I did not want a sore to have any chance! It wasn't a big deal. I was always sweating so I didn't notice it being goey or anything like I expected. Those ChamoisButter individual packets would last me a couple days applying liberally in the morning each day. I could squeeze the unused bit down and the little tear would stay closed and not leak in my top tube bag's side pockets (ie. not under pressure!)

    • @wattwagon
      @wattwagon  4 дні тому +1

      badlands is a great one, but there are also many others out there!
      I actually carry an even better to chamois cream- hydrocortisone cream. For my it's the "emergency" you're speaking about and it has more healing properties. I often use it before going to sleep during an ultra. helps heal will I'm not pedaling. BUT if I need it during the ride to alleviate a sore spot (rare but possible), it's there.
      cheers!

    • @obikedog
      @obikedog День тому

      I hear ya! And can't argue with your results! I might add HC to my kit for the [hopefully] rare times I need it. I favor prevention vs cures when possible however so will stick to non-drug chamois cream as first line of defense. The adverse risks associated with hydrocortisone (dependency, tolerance, rebound, etc.) caution me to avoid using it on a regular basis without careful consideration.

      Depends on the race! The clips at the beginning were from a DJI drone. The video here was recorded on a sony (not mine so I can't say what model). When I am racing I film on a DJI Action 3 and my iphone 12 pro.
