Comment on 2010 Zumbro 100 Mile Endurance Run – Race Report by scott

Nick – Sorry, I don’t know why I never replied on this. Good for you for tacking Zumbro in April. Hopefully you have had a great winter of training. I hope you love the Zumbro terrain and people as much as I do. I will see you down there. Just be committed to the finish and get yourself back out on that final loop. You will do great.

I have done Surf the Murph 50k and Superior Trail 100 Mile since Zumbro. Superior should get onto your bucket list – that is one epic race. My report is at http://runlikemonkey.com/2011/09/22/2011-superior-trail-100-mile-race-report/

Good luck!

Rick – I have not heard of Geigerrig before or pressurized bladders, thanks for sharing that. I definitely think the vest style is way more comfortable than backpack style with straps. I have worn these Nathans for many hours comfortably. I hear you about the color – some variety might be nice. In fact, a black pack might help a bit in winter keeping the bladder from freezing? I suppose the visible dirt on a lighter color does encourage me to wash it more than a might with a dark color!

I’m about to try out an Endurance with the new Geigerrig pressurized bladder which opens up a nice filtration and spray option for longer unsupported backcountry runs. I’ve had great luck with the Geigerrig bladder backpacking and mountain running with a Marmot Kompressor day pack, but am really looking forward to the more bounce-free vest experience.

Is it silly of me to wish for an all black version (ahem Nathan guys!) of the vest to hide the grunge? I use a lot of black gear and wear a lot of black merino in the mountains and even on hot days don’t find it’s that unbearable – in fact it provides better SPF at higher altitudes… Maybe it’s just that it’s never that hot here in Oregon

also for a little more padding instead of leather, glue in a thin layer of memory foam……the good kind..not the cheap.

in Vietnam they make tire sandals and they used innertube cut strips to tie them, much easier between your toes, also they stretch so that it will give you a tight fit around your foot. no flopping. power companies use very strong quarter inch flat nylon material to pull massive tower line electrical cable from one tower line to another, use once and throw away that will work just right it is soft material also intend of knots you can make double holes next to each other and slip it thru, or ever using a upholstering sewing thread stitch it in. no more knot discomfort.. if you use tires, do not use the tread area, use the sidewall, also bias ply tire may work better than radial tires, it is much flexible and not as thick, bias ply tires maybe harder to find, talk to your neiborhood power people, for the pull nylon rope.

I agree with the user that wrote that you can blow air back into the tube to help prevent freezing in the tube. Has always worked for me.

Anyone know where I can purchase a Nathan Endurance? They all seem to be sold out.

Comment on Gluteus Strain Week 4 – Still No Running by Steven

I have a strain in the same area. It’s been abou 2 weeks since my last run. The doc said flute strain and possibly superior hamstring. I’m due back to see doc for additional advice and PT suggestions. Last we met he said this second step would preceed the third step, an MRI. Needless to say, frustrated.
