It was 90 degrees during the day during the start and finish. You had to go at a slower pace cuz of the heat. You had to have extra socks, you had to have extra shoes. So, um, as far as you know, other things I noticed with other people is there were a lot of people who just didn’t take care of themselves. That’s the one thing that I didn’t experiment with is freezing them.

And then I just changed my plan, you know, I said, all right, I’m gonna go stick with the goose and stick with the other gels that I had and eat what’s on the course and I’ll be fine. And so they were only good for the first first section. And they were dries all get out well, you know, once they started.

Um, you know, I made these rice balls, I practice with rice balls, but I froze the rice balls the night before and I froze and I was like, oh, this is gonna be great. Yeah, there, there are little things that I learned thing that didn’t work. And I’m wondering Neil, if you’ve got something to kick us off with, So, um, I’m wondering, you know, was there, I think we’re gonna talk about let’s first talk about things that maybe we noticed went wrong for someone and maybe there’s nothing there and we’ll kind of skip around, but I think we’ll start with what might have gone wrong and then how we can see that being tweaked, moving forward. And so I’m wondering, um, Neil, I’m gonna pick you pick on you first, just cuz you’re in my, your, your top right on my computer screen. And so I think we’re just gonna kind of round table it, you know, round Robin discussion it. Maybe we had, we were wildly successful and that is also okay. Um, and I’m curious to kind of know, perspectives, like what did we learn? What did we see? What, what, what went well and what didn’t go well, cause I think there’s a lot of value in kind of taking that information and going back to the drawing board with it, to tweak things for people, or maybe it means keeping it the same. And AJW because, well, in the email I sent to you all, I called this the post mortem discussion, which sounds like pretty, I don’t know, devastating or sad or something that might happen in a hospital setting, but we all were either at Western states or big horn.Īnd we got to witness a lot of athletes race. I am joined today by brilliant, brilliant colleagues of mine with Neil and Michelle. And the big take takeaways we’ll be implementing with our own athletes and maybe even into our own racing, moving forward without further delay, let’s dive into the conversation. What individuals in the broader race field did really well.

We cover what we saw, go wrong for runners in their crews. I was joined by the knowledgeable trio of Andy Jones, Wilkins, Neil palace, and Michelle Foster, who were all recently either at the big horn trail run or the Western states endurance run and had a lot of takeaways to discuss. I sat down with not one, not two, but three of my coaching colleagues from CTS to discuss recent race experiences from both the running and crewing side of the sport.
