Because of that I have invested over the years is some good gear to insulate myself/attempt to stay dry. wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-31386210827227676872014-04-16T08:21:03.193-07:002014-04-16T08:21:03.193-07:00Robyn - I just a comment on fueling / drinking.

I drink when I am thirsty and eat when I am hungry or feel tired. Oddly enough, it seems to work. I felt fantastic at my last 50 miler. Go figure.

It's nice to hear someone else ask them. And your volunteering was much appreciated! <br /><br />It's amazing how much we can learn from these things. Best of luck with those upcoming runs.Kevin Langtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091536870296163963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-61154672755262903342014-04-16T07:20:59.617-07:002014-04-16T07:20:59.617-07:00Robyn,

I was a volunteer at Aid Station Five through the night and until about noon Saturday. I stood with you by the fire for quite awhile -- I should have introduced myself, or maybe I did -- hard to remember. In any case, I am inspired by your story and your blog and am happy to say I stood by the fire with you. I am new to trail running (Moose Mountain Marathon was my first trail run last September) and I want to work my way into a 50K and eventually a 50 mile. <br />Great job out there! Good luck in Gloucester. I lived in Newton, Mass. for a few years.<br />Julie MoranAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654773084665329232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-70490378968057162172014-04-16T07:08:48.154-07:002014-04-16T07:08:48.154-07:00Not too exciting, but here's mine:

It was my fastest lap by far, but that was only because I was moving *fast* to keep from freezing. I probably should have rested a bit and eaten a *lot* to get some energy back before starting my fourth loop (which did me in).Kinthelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483700603133322147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-10072016608356259302014-04-16T04:05:28.701-07:002014-04-16T04:05:28.701-07:00You're so thoughtful.

The trick is to be smart and stay healthy so you can do them. You've got this nailed!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618921702871922058noreply@blogger.com
