Participating in ultras is tough for a lot of reasons. The old adage about trying things out ahead of time and not on race day is not always possible. While you may be able to try shoes, a water bottle or an outfit for a two or three hour run, you probably will not have the opportunity to try something out for eight, nine or ten hours. With that being said, Iโm including brief, post-race reviews of my hydration vest, watch, shoes and nutrition.
