Regarding fue...Thanks for the comment RacingTales!<br /><br />Regarding fueling for a 50K, I usually stick to gels or shotblocks. Usually gels, if I'm carrying a handheld water bottle, as they are easier to carry. For a 50 miler and above, I actually don't vary that too much and still prefer gels and shotblocks. I nibble on real food depending on how I'm feeling, but usually rely on gels/shotblocks/liquid calories (Ultragen). For me, they seem easier to digest.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331844957221069032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-41179189186945022012011-03-29T13:02:35.654-04:002011-03-29T13:02:35.654-04:00Hey Amy!

I am always looking for that perfect tree. ;) <br /><br />So, bathroom issues aside, what do you eat during a 50K? I'm training for my first, Capon Valley in May. I've only ever eaten GUs during marathons, but I figure I'll need some real food during an ultra. I've practiced eating crackers and cookies which seemed safe...any other suggestions? Thanks! And congrats on pulling through when not feeling 100%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-13786993149819224732011-03-27T00:22:48.895-04:002011-03-27T00:22:48.895-04:00When we have you back on 3nonjoggers we will have ...When we have you back on 3nonjoggers we will have to talk about your bathroom issues because that's a perfect topic for us. <br /><br />I envy the fact that the 50k distance is not your strength because it isn't long enough. I sure wish I got stronger as the distance of the race increased. Great job on a solid race, even with the stomach issues. I think your upcoming races are going to be very successful, and I can't wait for Western States!Gary Valehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033686914804270982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-26865560541783541292011-03-25T18:47:50.455-04:002011-03-25T18:47:50.455-04:00SLG--your comments always make me laugh. :) Must...SLG--your comments always make me laugh. :) Must just be the fashionable short shorts. <br /><br />Olga, just another reason to appreciate the PNW--lots of well-sized trees.

Looked like a woman who already was thinking about finding a place in the woods to before the race even began, he he.<br /><br />But other than that ghost-look, you are looking good, woman! I know this is going to be taken as a weird comment, but you have such beautiful legs and now I'm like is it those fashionable shorts you've got on (they haven't made it to Denmark, yet, btw) or do you simply have nice legs? Well, I won't lose any sleep over it, I guess.<br /><br />But gosh, it is a frustrating feeling when you know you could have run faster if only the intestines would have cooperated. Is it okay that I take consolation in that it happens to top runners like you, too? Anyway, you STILL had a great race!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-35993922977003145632011-03-25T11:22:40.648-04:002011-03-25T11:22:40.648-04:00It seems that all of us can recall plenty (!) of t...It seems that all of us can recall plenty (!) of times when ALL we think about is if that next turn will have a fat tree or tall grass. Try running in Texas! Not to mention I was just thinking 50k is SO not much distance...and this is why next year I will try and focus on it:) Way to go, Amy!

Definitely been there. It's especially annoying in 50K's because everyone's running so fast that you know stopping will cost you at least a few places. Chukanut sounds like a great event though, especially with the good weather and lots of friendly faces. I love that you thought about how unrealistic your goals were, but that now you're back to those goals. :) <br />Nice job on pushing yourself in spite of some issues. I think 5th is strong in such a stacked field.<br />Have fun at Sonoma!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-87706847335722884772011-03-24T16:43:23.562-04:002011-03-24T16:43:23.562-04:00Wow Amy, I would say top 5 with all that potty dra...Wow Amy, I would say top 5 with all that potty drama is quite commendable. However I do understand not having the day you wanted and are capable of. Still a very nice start to your season. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about LS 50M. That is on my list for next year.Rondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832545114209221483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032959759035716824.post-39118366254991141492011-03-24T15:56:27.714-04:002011-03-24T15:56:27.714-04:00Good job powering through it and still finishing s...Good job powering through it and still finishing strong. <br /><br />Pretty much my only worry at the start line of every race is about potential bowel issues. It completely occupies all of my thoughts. I also never head out for a daily run without a pocket full of TP. I am not trying to be gross but it is a part of running.<br /><br />Have fun at Sonoma. It is one of the few races I want to run but it did not work out with my schedule this year. It looks awesome!Honehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305522904478032648noreply@blogger.com
