The Intel ones are quite a bit easier, but still not as easy as a PC. You need to disable some FW security settings to allow for a non Apple kernel to boot.
I was eating wheat thins and Oreos on the trail, broth and ramen noodles in aid stations. I was not a fast finisher, came in 31st in 30.5hr.
The biggest small thing is skin care. On a short race you can manage a little chaffing or a hot spot, for longer races taking the 3min to Vaseline or clean whatever is rubbing before it turns bloody is worth it
I actually didn't sleep too well because my legs aches and I had an early flight home, maybe 7hr, don't remember any dreams.
The winner finished in 19 ish hrs, I was at 30.5. The first 40 mi were easy to keep a pace for around 24hr, but then as the legs got tighter, the weather cooler and wetter I couldn't keep the pace up and had to walk the up hills.
Thank you! I had a timer to eat something every 45 min, no sleep which was tough towards the end. It's very different from a marathon, you're going slower and it's a lot more about keeping consistent with eating and caring for small things early. This was late in the season so cold and wet!
Pretty niche, but a citrus squeezer. I cook a lot of Asian food and it's much better to put half a lime in the squeezer at a time than try and hand squeeze the juice out.
Supernote is the alternative I went with. They have a pretty responsive dev team and the cloud integration is optional, you can push stuff over the local WiFi network.
How do you like your carbon steel pans? I got one and despite following all the seasoning instructions it never releases food easily so I don't use it very often.
I've had mine for almost 15 yr, same as you, still works like it's new. I also have a Benchmade knife that I carry all the time that's unmarred by time.
We got a Baby Bjorn carrier 2nd hand, and it'll certainly go to another family, and another, and another...
I find these types of PRs pretty much pure hype when they are expecting to start delivering end of 2026. I get sick and tired of these pre orders for things that will likely never show up as if this company has done some amazing engineering and brought it to market.
