Coops

Every other race photo from MIUT I'm smiling in, obviously caught unawares for this one.
Kinda like it though. 📸🤣

RaceBase 70 Extra Durable Kit Bag with 70L Storage OMM say: "Two compartments allow you to keep clean and dirty kit separate. Designed to take punishment, handles and straps aplenty so you can throw it on your back, carry it or drag it across & ar...

I won a pair in a comp but only ever used separately.
Great waterproof bag with 3 zipped inside & netted outside pockets.
It's not a big bag but good enough for some race day kit. I have another dry bag for shoes.
Omm has a similar bigger version.

Sunset runs are back! 🌄😍

Newer inov8 are much more comfortable than older models even on tarmac, especially now they also feature the boomerang footbed.

Have you tried the new Mudtalons?
They have changed the foot shape & come in wide fit.
Top shoe. 👌

Rightly so!!
There are always lessons to be learnt with running long, even after 10 years for me. Like putting on your waterproof trousers before your leggings soak through. 🤦‍♂️
Yeah proper stoked bringing home the black buckle, had to work hard for it. 😀

Congrats!
That's quite some achievement for your first hundo! 👊
Hope you're recovering well. 😀

Congrats on finishing Arc.
I did at times question my life choices trudging from Bottalack to St Ives through stinking sludge.
🤢🤣
Hope you're recovering well.

Most definitely will!
Despite recceing it & knowing what I was in for, that was still a tougher than expected.

Yeah I feel ya! 🫠

Thanks!
I had recced & prepped myself for 'that' section but to be honest, the conditions & terrain underfoot off the back of the storm were testing straight off the bat!
It really is one brut of a race which I'm still feeling the effects of now.

Private suffering & public joy, I love it! 🤣
Yeah aside from the fog & fatigue I'm all smiles. 😀

There was definitely less of that on the course but it was dark I was alone so you couldn't see or hear the cursing. 🤣

Thanks! 😀

Sorry to hear this.
Tough old section prior to St Ives would have done you no favours.
Rest up & recover well. 😀

Would love to 'run' the entire path someday. Not an FKT or anything just a nice jolly but maybe not during winter or storms. 🤣

Finish line feels. 😀

What a weekend!!
That's one tough race, had to work bloody hard for this buckle.
Stoked to finish Arc of Attrition 100 in 23:07:04, 12th overall.
So glad I took Monday off. 🫠🤣
Great to see you out there @smillbery.bsky.social & thanks for the photos. 😀

Thanks Rachel. 🙏😊

I totally get that.
Having a why is a big reason to get behind something & mine was the black buckle.
I'm more than happy not to have to head back despite having a great weekend out. 😀

Why not Rachel?

Thanks buddy! 😀

Cheers Ben! 😀

Thanks buddy! 😀

Cracked. 🤤

Well this isn't going to last...
