Re: OUS-l: Re: sulphur training runs

Pierre: Instead of little hills you could refer to them as ''rises".
And I am not fooled by your reference to "same as the other 4 hills"

And while Pierre is reading this, Hammer puts out some good product which may
help with your cramping.
They have electrolite pills as well as a powder product "Sustained Energy"
which should be used for exercise lasting more than 3 hours (I know I need
that). You can add that to your water.Speaking of water, I read that cramping is
due to de-hyrdration but you know you need to drink lots.
If you don't want to carry all that stuff, you could leave some at a drop
zone.

Good luck.

Hi Neil.

I am also new to ultra running (or so it would seem after my
Garanaska results)...

I am planning to run the new Creemore course Saturday morning circa
08:30 and since Creemore is between Hamilton and Huntsville (if you
squint your eyes) you are welcome to stay the night. I have a tree
house with lights, electricity and heat (yeah, I know, very
strange). Creemore is about 1.5 hours from Hamilton.

Note to all: The Saturday run is open to anyone who would like to
run 25K and critique the new hills I am thinking of adding to the
course. They are little hills, similar to the current 4 hills.

Cheers!

Keep on runnin'

and here are your thought(s) for the day:

Have you ever observed how invincible and unconquerable is spirit and how the
presence of it makes the soul of any creature to be absolutely fearless and
indomitable?

Growing old didn't seem to help me at Creemore last year. ECaps and plenty of fluids do seem to help prevent cramping. Lying on the ground in poison ivy...

Hi Pierre, The Creemore run sounds interesting. Just one thing though. As I won't be finished running at Sulphur until around 11pm, I won't be in Creemore...

Hi Neil. I had wondered about driving 1.5 hours that late after a 20K. Probably the reason you are looking for something closer to the run. Don't worry about...
