tjtryon - 2010-04-09 9:01 AM Thank you, I've never ran that far before. Any idea on "fueling" for that distance? I'll have my own "tent" area that I go by each loop of the course. I have a 10 gallon jug of Gu Brew, a couple of big boxes of gels, and I am going to get a couple of bags of bagles from the local Dunkin Donuts (I'm in love with their Cheddar Bagle Twists), some 2 litres of flat coke, and some cans of chicken soup. I'll also have some uncrustables (PB&J) and some candy bars/energy bars. Do I need/want protien during that distance? 50 miles in 12 hours is barely a run, but I imagine it will still suck mentally.

Yeah I would just think you want stuff in your system that isn't going to slosh around for that long.

You might want to check out the ultra forum.  Those guys do all sorts of crazy races where you run for 12/24 hrs.  I have read some race reports where they list out what they have at their aid station.

tjtryon - 2010-04-09 7:46 AM In 9 hours, I will be embarking on a 12 hour, 50 mile run to help cure cancer. Wish me luck! http://main.acsevents.org/goto/tjtryon

That is the weird thing.  I could see the total elapsed time, but there were no laps saved in the unit and it said I had no history.  Read through the manual and there is nothing there either.  The only thing I can figure is when I turned off the satellites because I was inside, it somehow screwed up the unit.  I normally wouldn't time my swims, but yesterday was one of those crazy MAX effort record all your times days...I fear I will be doing it again. Ugh!

tjtryon - 2010-04-09 8:14 AM Thanks, I will do that - it's a resource I didn't know about. I don't think eggs are the right answer for me, they tend to bring on mean, evil, stinky demons....

Do you have salt?   Any kind of electrolyte tablets or pretzels?

GoFaster - 2010-04-09 9:33 AM Wow you guys post A LOT!!  I was 5 pages behind by 8am.

RedKnight - do you plan on racing either Guelph or Belwood this year?  I'm planning on the Sprints for both.  I did the Guelph Olympic last year (got crushed), but it falls on my wife's birthday this year.

dalessit - 2010-04-09 9:16 AM

yeah this is more of a peer response group vs mentor just answering all questions.  So we all pretty much chime in which tends to up the post count quickly sometimes, especially if there are a lot of questions going around. 

I think thats one of the cool things about this group, we have folks that are fast, slow and everything in between at each discipline so you can get a few perspectives on pretty much every question.

fattyfatfat - 2010-04-09 8:21 AM

i can give you all the info you need on how to suck at each one!

tri-chic - 2010-04-08 10:22 PM

Grrr...now I'm tempted. DH told me he and the boys are fishing Sunday morning.  I'll have to map quest it now to see just how far it is.   Is everyone splitting right after the race on Sunday?

TrevorC - 2010-04-09 10:31 AM George...How did your run this weekend get its name???
The Skunk Cabbage run??

CyborgQueen - 2010-04-09 8:39 AM I'm having a bit of a idiotic-on-my-part-perhaps Garmin 305 issue. Perhaps people can help?

I don't transfer my workouts from my Garmin to the Garmin Training Center every time, just once a week or after two weeks. However, more than half of the time, the cool GPS map doesn't show up.  I guess they have a limit on how many days the GPS Map can be on the Garmin?

Second thing is...how the hell can I be SURE that I'm not in Multisport mode? I'm sick of not seeing my run and only to discover that it has been mixed in with the Bike and put in Multisport. It annoys me. I have tried to "Reset Lap" every time, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. Am I missing something?

   Is there a way I can break up the multisport workout, and put it in the proper folders?

Lastly - I also use SportTracks, but I sort of stopped using that because I'm getting different numbers compared to Garmin Training Center. Sometime it's off by a little or a lot in terms of splits, and speed. I think I'm going to go bonkers if I over analyze my workouts by using two different things. I do like SportTracks better though.  However, they will only read the last 5 workouts on my Garmin, so I'm kind of SOL if I don't transfer my workouts everyday.

Thanks for any help...

I think there is, actually seems to be a time limit in garmin training center, I have noticed that myself but haven't researched why it does this.

If you hit Reset button between workouts you should not be in multisport mode.  To double check before your next workout, hit mode, if you see a little triangle on the bottom of the screen you are in multisport mode, if you see a bike or runner you are in single sport mode.

   Is there a way I can break up the multisport workout, and put it in the proper folders?

You can probably go into the file itself if you download it to split it up but you have to weed through the XML to do so.  John might have a better idea on this

Not sure, never used sporttracks, John might have thoughts on the differences, he is the resident geographer type person
