1:32
SPEAKER_00: I know.
1:32
SPEAKER_00: On the pod.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: Because you never know what's gonna come out of his mouth.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: Sorry, I'll I'll keep it uh we've already told him to uh to try and keep the tone down a little bit, but you know, we'll see what happens.
1:45
SPEAKER_00: But uh first things first.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: Before I jump into this thing, we've gotta talk about Dead Tired.
1:55
SPEAKER_00: Oh Run Dead Run after dark.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's the limited drop, limited edition, never before seen, maybe.
2:04
SPEAKER_00: Run, Dead, Run after dark, dead tired drop.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: No rest for the wicked.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: Our boy uh Renee Rubio, Ricky, aka Ricky Runs is sporting it, I'm sporting it.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: Zach woke up in a mood and I don't have one.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, he didn't get a sample yet, so shout out our two creations.
2:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, thanks, Tyler.
2:24
SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, so I mean this is this is exciting.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: Uh I think uh, you know, out of all the uh the run dad run guys, you're you're probably the the best athlete if I if I had to say.
2:37
SPEAKER_00: Oh hundred percent.
2:37
SPEAKER_00: I mean it'd be between you and Zach.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: Um maybe Josh is a little washed, so I don't know.
2:42
SPEAKER_00: But I I think you've got the Zach can swim.
2:45
SPEAKER_01: I can't.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: You can do everything else better than me, though.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: Can you really not swim?
2:51
SPEAKER_00: That's a serious question.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: Yes and no.
2:53
SPEAKER_01: I think if I get myself in a pickle, I'm probably drowning.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
2:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:58
SPEAKER_02: So that's why I like if you like once you get into open water swimming, uh going out to the lake in uh the middle, whichever one's up Red Bluff Road, is that Middle Concho Park?
3:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh we call it, well, my buddies call it the litter box.
3:13
SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah.
3:13
SPEAKER_02: So that's a good name too.
3:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
3:15
SPEAKER_02: But we're talking about the same place because you just swim along the shoreline there and you can always just stand up if you need to.
3:21
SPEAKER_02: Oh, really?
3:22
SPEAKER_02: So buoy to buoy, can you it's pretty much as long as you stay close enough to the shore, it's always because about 20 feet out, it's like that mud layer.
3:31
SPEAKER_02: So you can there's almost everywhere you can stop and stand up if you have to.
3:35
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
3:36
SPEAKER_02: Or you're only a few feet away from being able to stop and stand up.
3:39
SPEAKER_02: So that's where I like to.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: I need to be a couple inches away, yeah, not a couple feet.
3:43
SPEAKER_02: Huh?
3:44
SPEAKER_01: I said I need to be a couple inches away, not a couple feet.
3:47
SPEAKER_01: It'll be all right.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we need to go out there.
3:49
SPEAKER_00: I want to do that triathlon out there one day, just like show up and just do one.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm terrified.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: My like my biggest fear is like open bodies of water and like not being able to see under me.
3:59
SPEAKER_00: So even that would terrify me.
4:00
SPEAKER_00: I'm a good swimmer, or I'd claim to be a good swimmer.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: So you don't like lakes?
4:03
SPEAKER_00: No.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: Like if we go out there together, someone hold is holding my hand.
4:07

SPEAKER_00: All right, Renee and Josh are supposed to be the athletes, okay?
14:21
SPEAKER_00: And so they're talking mess months, months before this thing kicks off.
14:25
SPEAKER_00: And I'm just like, I've done a couple ultras at this point, so I'm the expert of the group.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: They're asking me questions, and I'm like, I mean, I've done like three or four, so you know, but but yeah, I'm like, dude, you guys like train, run, you just keep running, you gotta keep going.
14:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
14:40
SPEAKER_01: And I think my farthest run previous to that was 15 miles.
14:44
SPEAKER_01: Okay, still never done a marathon.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: You hadn't even ever done like a legit event other than maybe some of the local stuff, right?
14:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I went from a 5k, 10k to 100k, just completely skipped everything.
14:54
SPEAKER_01: I figured why not?
14:55
SPEAKER_01: I mean that's just dude.
14:57
SPEAKER_01: That's just me.
14:58
SPEAKER_01: Like, if we're gonna do something, we're gonna do the hardest thing they got.
15:03
SPEAKER_01: So uh Dino Run.
15:06
SPEAKER_01: Miserable.
15:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was uh hot, cold, the overnight stuff.
15:11
SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't like um the um the pain of just everything knocked this table over.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: Dude, if anything, like this guy, like watching Renee rally through that thing, I'm like, how did you survive like legit survive?
15:29
SPEAKER_00: Like, first off, he takes off these guys, they take off, dude, like sprinting, and I'm like, oh man, dude, like there's no way.
15:36
SPEAKER_00: And like somehow just Renee, he'd go sleep, he would go sleep for like an hour and then come back and just keep going.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: Like absolute rally.
15:44
SPEAKER_02: So before the race even starts, what you said you'd run 15 miles before, but what what did you know about ultra running at that point, if anything?
15:55
SPEAKER_02: Like, what did you know about what to expect about fueling, about pacing strategy, anything, or was it just you just I just went in there and just winged it, just absolutely winged it.
16:07
SPEAKER_01: Um just stayed lubed up because apparently that's a big issue.
16:14
SPEAKER_01: Um you did look the coolest.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: I will say that.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: You don't know what the Renee looked the coolest, yeah.
16:18
SPEAKER_01: My Bucky's Hawaiian shirts.
16:21
SPEAKER_00: He had the like the desert uh hat thing on.
16:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, straight dad mode.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: He looked, he looked he looked the coolest.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: Like there's a group picture of us in Renee, I think it's on the far right side.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: And out of everybody, right before the the overnight started, and like Renee just looks like a lot of people.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: What I did learn from that expert.
16:38
SPEAKER_01: If you run with a pocket on your shirt, you can stick your mash your cup of mashed potatoes right there while you're running.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's like having a built-in vest.
16:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then just eat as you go kind of deal.
16:47
SPEAKER_01: Those mashed potatoes go really, really that was the that was my gym.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: I still haven't tried that yet.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: I had never had mashed potatoes until that event, and like that's a staple in my rama noodles either for like five years, six years, and I had them that day.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they go pretty dang good.
17:05
SPEAKER_00: Oh man, it would be so funny because me and Tyler, we were just low and slow, baby, the whole time.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, we'd be like, dang, like is Renee gonna make it, you know?
17:14
SPEAKER_00: And and then all of a sudden it was dark, and you just hear this woo! There's Renee in his bucky shirt in his desert app.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: That was me.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: And he'd go past us, not even faced.
17:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just I mean, I just woke up, yeah, just ready to go kind of deal.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: Um what went through your head, like legitimately.
17:33
SPEAKER_00: I know you had some in the beginning, you were just rallying, you were going, you were I loved the vibes that you brought.
17:39
SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, it just looked like you, I I think I don't know if you were friends with everybody yet, but it looked like you were friends with everybody, and I know you kind of are now, and uh, but I know you had some mental battles.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: There was a couple times I saw you on my eight, I think.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: I was like, I'm pretty sure I broke my foot.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: Mile 58.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I remember you talking about that.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: My right foot ended up having a fracture on it, and I still finished out, but dude, I was crying, I was cussing, I was yelling, like it was.
18:11
SPEAKER_00: I remember when you told me you were tapping, and I'm like, dude, you have yeah, you've got like one loop left, just go do it.
18:16
SPEAKER_01: I didn't even know I had one loop left.
18:18
SPEAKER_01: I came up and I was like, I'm done.
18:20
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's like a four-mile loop, right?
18:22
SPEAKER_02: It was like three and a half ish or something like that.
18:24
SPEAKER_02: But I mean you're walking, you said one more loop left, and I'm thinking like crazy desert.
18:29
SPEAKER_02: 15 miles, okay.
18:30
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, I I remember, I think I was talking to either Aaron or Dennis, I don't remember.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: I was like, I I think I'm done.
18:36
SPEAKER_01: And they were like, You got one more loop yet?
18:38
SPEAKER_01: And well, my watch, I don't know what happened, but I thought I had like 10 miles left.
18:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
18:44
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, Okay, I can do this kind of deal.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: And then swapped my shoes out and went back out and finished.
18:50
SPEAKER_01: But those last six miles were absolutely brutal.
18:53
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they were bad.
18:54
SPEAKER_01: They were bad, they were very bad.

19:02
SPEAKER_01: I just had to do this one little push and be done with it.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that's why I just kept going.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: I was like, screw it.
19:10

23:15
SPEAKER_01: I would I almost tapped out.
23:17
SPEAKER_00: Like, but what happened?
23:19
SPEAKER_00: Uh I was curious, I haven't asked you what happened.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: So mile eight-ish, I tripped.
23:26
SPEAKER_01: Rocks out there are huge.
23:27
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
23:27
SPEAKER_01: I tripped on this rock, and then I feel like my hamstring just stretched.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: And then as I'm leaning over, it just comes out like unannounced, just came out, like you know, just started throwing up.
23:39
SPEAKER_01: And then I was like, okay, that's weird.
23:41
SPEAKER_01: So kept going, yada yada, and about four miles again, threw up again, and then got to the aid station, got some water in me, took a gel, threw up immediately after that, and then I probably threw up like eight times.
23:54
SPEAKER_00: So this is like only like 12 miles in.
23:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this was very early in the race.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's hard to come back.
24:00
SPEAKER_01: It is, and then I then I just started dry heaving, and I was like, dude, I'm just gonna just see how far I can go, kind of deal.
24:08
SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
24:10
SPEAKER_01: Did you ever recover at all?
24:11
SPEAKER_01: Like, did you ever start to feel any better?
24:14
SPEAKER_01: No, my like my face was dry, my lips were dry.
24:18
SPEAKER_01: My lips were chapped, like I don't know what happened.
24:21
SPEAKER_01: Um sometimes, sometimes it's just not your day, man.
24:24
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it's just not your day.
24:26
SPEAKER_01: So no, and then kind of this Fort Davis race, zero issues.
24:30
SPEAKER_01: Like, and then you crushed that one just a week later, yeah.
24:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, felt absolutely amazing during the whole the whole race.
24:36
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then being up kind of I think our elevation here is what 1900-ish?
24:42
SPEAKER_01: Something like that.
24:42
SPEAKER_01: Up there was like 52, 5300.
24:45
SPEAKER_01: So, dude, felt amazing.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that race was awesome.
24:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like I want to get out there like Paladuro Canyon in that area.
24:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I need to hit that.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: I've got uh one of the girls I met, Alyssa, she's from Paladuro, and she ran with me at Noche.
24:58
SPEAKER_01: She's she won first overall, dude.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: She's she is an athlete.
25:01
SPEAKER_01: That's so that's awesome.
25:02
SPEAKER_01: She's like, hey, you don't want to come up here, run.
25:05
SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
25:05
SPEAKER_00: So that's cool.
25:07
SPEAKER_00: Um, so what have you learned, or have you felt like you've learned anything since Dino?
25:11
SPEAKER_00: And you know, you've gotten a couple ultras of you've done a lot of a lot of training, a lot of miles.
25:16
SPEAKER_00: Um fueling.
25:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, fueling is like you gotta train your gut for for all of the carbs you're about to intake, especially the gels kind of deal.
25:27
SPEAKER_01: If some people do gels, some people don't do gels, but I do them, you know.
25:32
SPEAKER_01: Um I try to aim for a hundred grams of carbs every hour.
25:36
SPEAKER_01: Uh doesn't matter how slow or how fast I'm going.
25:39
SPEAKER_01: Um and just stay stay on top of that.
25:43
SPEAKER_01: Electrolytes, stay on top of those.
25:45
SPEAKER_01: Um and caffeine when you need it.
25:48
SPEAKER_01: So I try not to overdo the caffeine.
25:51
SPEAKER_01: I just feel like it I don't know, makes my work my heart work a little harder, I guess.
25:56
SPEAKER_01: Kind of deal.
25:57
SPEAKER_01: But fueling for sure.
26:00
SPEAKER_01: And you try to learn to eat like whole foods or you know, while you're running, kind of deal.
26:04
SPEAKER_01: That's the hardest thing to do.
26:05
SPEAKER_02: I agree.
26:06
SPEAKER_02: I was about to say that's I still struggle with that.
26:09
SPEAKER_02: Like gels are one thing, but you know, a few hours into something, I'm looking at real food going, there's no way.
26:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I can't.
26:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you gotta find you something to do.
26:17
SPEAKER_02: I gotta figure it out though.
26:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you just gotta find you something to like.
26:20
SPEAKER_01: My my go-to lately has been grapes and watermelon.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
26:23
SPEAKER_01: So it's just it's real easy to get down.
26:25
SPEAKER_01: Watermelon is good on a run.
26:27
SPEAKER_01: I'll say that.
26:28
SPEAKER_01: It's real easy to get down.
26:29
SPEAKER_01: Um I try to do like peanut butter jelly, you know.
26:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, dude, that stuff is just hard to get down.
26:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, dude.
26:35
SPEAKER_02: I don't think I could ever do peanut butter for sure.
26:38
SPEAKER_00: My the at the uh the Texas Outlaw events, they usually have someone running a griddle with bacon cheese quesadillas.
26:45
SPEAKER_00: Or yeah, and those things slap, dude.
26:49
SPEAKER_00: Like I can freaking cheese quesadillas.
26:51

26:57
SPEAKER_00: I mean, maybe it is, but dude, I it I love them.
27:00

SPEAKER_00: I didn't want to do that one.
28:53
SPEAKER_00: Maybe next year.
28:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you've been, I mean, you've been messaging about that one for a while.
28:57
SPEAKER_00: I know.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: Like it it for I don't know, running with a light, does it throw y'all off?
29:02
SPEAKER_01: Like if you run with it for a long period of time.
29:05
SPEAKER_00: No, but I'm also like PTSD, like I always make sure to have a headlamp on me because Zach like chewed my ass one time when I went on a training run with him and I didn't have it, and I was in trouble.
29:15
SPEAKER_00: Really?
29:15
SPEAKER_00: The whole run, yeah.
29:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so like at one point, he legit yelled at me.
29:18
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna like straight up.
29:20
SPEAKER_00: You you're way over exaggerated.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: No, yes.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: No.
29:23
SPEAKER_01: Like at one point, I I was I sat down, I don't know what mile it was, mile 31, 32-ish.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: And I was looking down at the ground, and the ground was like, look like it was like heat waves.
29:33
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
29:34
SPEAKER_01: You said a cactus is waving at you or something.
29:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I look up and there's a tree about my height, and it is literally sitting there just waving at me like I'm like, oh crap.
29:43
SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm I'm deep like in hallucination right now.
29:46
SPEAKER_02: Did you wave back?
29:48
SPEAKER_01: Uh I turned my light off and I ran with no light for about four-ish miles, and then and then finally I kind of started coming back around.
29:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
29:57
SPEAKER_00: I think it's when you wave back that there's you start to have problems.
29:59
SPEAKER_00: Was your base camp set up with Marcus?
30:01
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
30:02

30:05
SPEAKER_00: Like he was scared of you.
30:06
SPEAKER_00: I think that's what happened.
30:07
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
30:08
SPEAKER_01: I don't think Marcus needs to do all that.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: That dude's fast.

SPEAKER_01: Well, he was sleeping so hard during Dino in that camper.
34:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he did.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_00: This guy brought a huge, like fully loaded RV to Dino.
34:09
SPEAKER_00: Like it was it was so cool.
34:10
SPEAKER_00: It came in so clutch because I had to use the bathroom a couple times, and I'm like, yeah, they had it all set up to go.
34:16
SPEAKER_03: That's the way to do it.
34:17
SPEAKER_01: So like after that, after Dino, I literally my so my dad came by and helped me because I couldn't walk at all.
34:23
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't pick up the generators, couldn't do nothing.
34:26
SPEAKER_01: So my dad and my stepmom come help me load up the the camper.

34:35
SPEAKER_01: Like, I didn't care.
34:36
SPEAKER_01: I was yeah, I was really doing it.
34:37
SPEAKER_01: I'm already almost dead anyway.
34:38
SPEAKER_01: It's like working out in the trailer.
34:41
SPEAKER_01: I was just laying down in the trailer on the bed, just did not care at all.
34:45
SPEAKER_01: And then we got home, and then my dad was like, Are you gonna stay in there?
34:49
SPEAKER_01: I was like, Yeah, just let me just let me know.

SPEAKER_01: You gotta do it, you gotta do that.
35:12
SPEAKER_00: Did you did you log that as a strive activity though?
35:14
SPEAKER_00: Because I feel like that was probably a tough walk from the RV to hunt.
35:18
SPEAKER_01: Shoot, I don't even remember to be honest with you.
35:19
SPEAKER_01: No, I didn't.
35:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that should be a that's that'd be a good strive activity right there.
35:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, recovery walk.
35:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, recovery walk.
35:25
SPEAKER_00: Tag it, that's gotta be the tag in there.
35:27
SPEAKER_01: It's crazy how much your body bounces back after doing that first hundred K and then now doing these.
35:34
SPEAKER_01: Speak for yourself, bro.
35:35
SPEAKER_01: It's just crazy how fast your body bounces back.
35:37
SPEAKER_01: Well, mine, I I mean I don't know.
35:39
SPEAKER_02: Uh your the volume you put in, I'm like, I don't know if I could ever work up to that.
35:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:44
SPEAKER_01: That's a lot.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like when I did that, when I did that junction race, dude, my feet were busted up like bad.
35:50
SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
35:51
SPEAKER_01: And then just rested, you know, and until we went up there to Fort Davis, and I felt great.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, I felt absolutely made.
35:58
SPEAKER_00: Dude, when you like we there's that video of you crossing the finish line.
36:02
SPEAKER_00: Uh I think I posted it, you posted it, stole it from you.
36:05
SPEAKER_00: But you looked like you were ready to knock out another freaking event.
36:09
SPEAKER_00: Finishing strong.
36:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it looked like you were bored, ready to go do another loop.
36:14
SPEAKER_01: It was fun.
36:15
SPEAKER_01: It was uh that was that was a fun time.
36:17
SPEAKER_01: Like, y'all should y'all should do it one time.
36:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, I'm going with you.
36:19
SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
36:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, not really.
36:22
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, that would be a tough 100k race, though.
36:26
SPEAKER_01: They only do 50k, but dude, that Indian Lodge climb was absolutely nuts.
36:30
SPEAKER_00: There's some like I know that uh there's an event I did Big Texas Ultra in in Georgetown.
36:36
SPEAKER_00: I think they're switching it up this year, it's not there, but you go a loop, it's a 50k loop around uh Georgetown Lake or whatever lake that is.
36:45
SPEAKER_00: And dude, that one crushed me.
36:46
SPEAKER_00: That's the one I broke my toe on.
36:48
SPEAKER_00: And they have a hundredk out there, and there's I'm like, how in the world can anyone do two loops?
36:53
SPEAKER_00: Like it's a lots of climbing.
36:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, lots of climbing, and then there's like Renee's talking about, there's spots where like it's a trail, but it's just rock, like just jagged rock where like I mean waters, you know, run through it, and I mean, I'm like, I don't know how anyone's actually running on it.
37:08
SPEAKER_00: I was terrified because I'm like, Yeah, exactly.
37:10
SPEAKER_01: That was like so at the noche, right along the fence line, it was just rounded rock, yeah, and it was just covered by you know by grass.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: And you're talking about like slippery, it was slippery, you can roll your ankle, like you can stub your toe, like it was yeah, it was almost it was unrunable at some point.
37:26
SPEAKER_01: Absolute race killers out there.
37:28
SPEAKER_01: The downhill part was absolutely terrible.
37:31
SPEAKER_01: Like you climb, climb, climb, and then you know, whatever goes up must come down.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: So you know it's coming.
37:36
SPEAKER_01: There's two big hills coming back down, and it's just like your legs are done.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: Do you use poles?
37:42
SPEAKER_01: So, yes and no.
37:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, get into the gear.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: Talk you you've got some sweet gear.
37:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so obviously.
37:49
SPEAKER_01: Um, what is it, Advent Skin 12 vest?
37:53
SPEAKER_01: Um I saw I did I did that and I carried a flask, but I got rid of the flask because that thing's just too dang heavy filling two liters of water up and it just bounces too much.
38:02
SPEAKER_01: So got rid of that, and then I just run another soft flask, but I just stick in the back, kind of my emergency soft flask kind of deal.
38:09
SPEAKER_01: Um I do have poles.
38:12
SPEAKER_01: I use them, then I don't use them kind of deal.
38:14
SPEAKER_01: I think they kind of get in the way a little bit.
38:16
SPEAKER_01: Um and then flashlight, and just I just fill that thing up with whatever Joe I can come across, kind of deal.
38:24
SPEAKER_01: Um and then shoes, I have a lot of shoes.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so not as much as Roadie does, but I do have a lot of shoes.
38:32
SPEAKER_01: Um what's your go-to shoe?
38:35
SPEAKER_01: For trail or road or both.
38:41
SPEAKER_01: Right now I'm liking the knee balance V5s for road and then for trail.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: I stick to the mounted coast T1s.
38:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
38:49
SPEAKER_01: I wanted to try those.
38:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I have the H1s also, and just the lugs on those things are they're too small.
38:55
SPEAKER_01: So you you can slip.
38:57
SPEAKER_01: So I'd rather not slip and have good balance, you know, kind of deal.
39:00
SPEAKER_01: So T1's a good shoe.
39:02
SPEAKER_01: It's a very good shoe.
39:03
SPEAKER_01: And they just came out with an M1, but I think it's just a little bit heavier kind of shoe.
39:07
SPEAKER_01: So not really made for ultras kind of deal.
39:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, when I wear out my ultras, I'm gonna try them out to coast.
39:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, what size do you wear?
39:14
SPEAKER_02: Ten and a half.
39:15
SPEAKER_02: Nine or eleven.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: Give them a shot.
39:17
SPEAKER_02: I might.
39:20
SPEAKER_00: I I um no, y'all are just talking dirty talk, man.
39:23
SPEAKER_01: Oh, and I like the lacing system on it too.
39:25
SPEAKER_01: So I do I do like that.
39:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what they call it.
39:29
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like um a string you pull in the middle and it laces them up and you're like a drawstring, kind of.
39:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like kind of like a drawstring kind of thing.
39:35
SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
39:36
SPEAKER_01: So I do like that.
39:38
SPEAKER_01: But no, mounted coast for trails T1.
39:41
SPEAKER_01: Cool.
39:41
SPEAKER_01: I'm still Hulk until I die.
39:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you are.
39:44
SPEAKER_01: So I had those, I got those speed goats from Tyler.
39:48
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
39:48
SPEAKER_01: And dude, they just I don't know.
39:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if it's the speed goat sevens that's the issue, or not I've heard a lot of bad reviews.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: I ran Speed Goats, I put 300 miles on my speed goats, and I'm like, eh, they're kind of done.
40:02
SPEAKER_00: But I also I mean I put them through hell.
40:04
SPEAKER_00: Like I've done, you know, there was that couple snow runs and mud, and but I swapped to the uh I think it's a newer, it's like Mafate or Mafate X.
40:14
SPEAKER_00: Dude, that shoe is I'm in love.
40:17
SPEAKER_00: Like, I mean, I've run with it a couple times on the road, like to break them in, and they're they're nice.
40:21
SPEAKER_00: So I did look at those.
40:22
SPEAKER_00: Um I'll wear an 11 if you want to try them on, check them out.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: They're sweet.
40:26
SPEAKER_00: Do they not look like boots?
40:28
SPEAKER_00: No or no?
40:28
SPEAKER_00: No, they look kind of like the speed goat.
40:30
SPEAKER_00: Like really, yeah, they're just they have a lot.
40:32
SPEAKER_00: The reason I bought bought them for Dino because uh my back was hurting, and so I kind of looked up like a more like plushy trail shoe because trail shoes are not super plush, right?
40:43
SPEAKER_00: Because you want to feel your feet under you.
40:45
SPEAKER_00: But this one has some plush to it, and uh so I I picked those up for that one, and dude, I fell in love with it.
40:52
SPEAKER_00: Really?
40:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so that's what I stick to when I trail run.
40:54
