And elsewhere. Just have a tarp to put down. But not the good tarp.

Falling more in love with you will lead to obsession....

Very prudent!

I'm sure you know - but cutting onions with an extremely sharp knife mostly prevents crying while cutting onions.

Of course an exceptionally sharp knife might have other uses as well

I always keep my knives sharp plus the act of sharpening them is so soothing and meditative. I do it with traditional whetstones.

He has a ton of Moleskin for that too! Like a shit ton!

After your fitness level and basic mindset NOTHING will ruin an ultra faster than chaffing.... All of us in these races carry moleskin and complete little foot care kits plus most of us have a diaper cream, our lube of choice and a dry change of socks and underwear


But now I'm thinking I should also have nylons

Obsessions can only be good right?

I used to go to his ruck marches to cheer everyone on. 12 miles with 75lbs? Yeah that was insane! I'd always bring fresh fruit, water, juice and socks! I'd go to Walmart and bring a ton of socks!

Agreed and I do the same sharpening for the same reasons.

Oh yes!

Glad I'm not the only weirdo who still sharpens the traditional way. My favourite bartender taught it to me. Best gift ever.

Hubby brought a sharpening stone set from Japan years ago and works on our knives - something about him..... shirtless, watching his arms flex as he moves that blade back and forth.... The way his chest tightens and relaxes. The little curl on the corner of his smile when he's finishing up....

Whoa! Sorry! I got lost for a second!

Last year during a 350 miler ...it rained a few times on us. I ended up buying socks from dollar general and just changed socks every few hours for the last few days .....foot care is everything!

Learned it in the Army but transferred to the kitchen nicely.

Until today I didn't realise it could be like that but from your paragraph, it's added a new dimension to my experience. I need that coffee stat.

Too much static, leg hair plus nylon

I.... I don't have an excuse. Saves on heating bill in Winter?

Runs away.

Trust me I know of what you speak and I am of Italian extraction so not what you would call hairless. Taking the off after a 20 mile rucksack march was.........uh.......problematic.

When I would run PT I would use Vaseline on my inner thighs.

Well said!

Now they make lubes that work way better than Vaseline.....squirrels nut butter (yes that's the name of it) is the best one I think. It's coconut oil based and will stay longer than petroleum jellys and ohhhh shit I just realized I've been talking about chaffing and lube for like an hour...... Uhhh
Sorry? I guess?
I get excited talking about race stuff .....I'll get back to making jokes

You know... we're all about helping each other out... if your lube and chaffing tips help even one person here, it's worth it!
