    What does "unsupported" 100K mean?

    Pretty sure @JessicaMcB means she will be running 100k with no help. Meaning no preset aide stations, no crew bringing food and water, and so on.

    Yes @Orphia , no water drops, no third party assistance- me, tech trail and what I can carry on my back. A lot of people who train ultra distance do it basically crewed like they would for a race.

    Thanks very much, @PastorVincent and @JessicaMcB

    Wow!

    What will you be carrying?

    Is this just for your own goals, or is it a race that's unsupported?

    Trying to decide whether to go run a 5k in the pouring rain this morning. It was only a $15 sign up but I kind of want the t-shirt :) and feel bad if no one shows up for their event. I figure if I post this here I'll probably go because you guys are crazy bad influences like that.

    You know you will be going regardless of rain.

    Of course you'll go.

    Great job @katharmonic love the pictures. The wardrobe malfunction made me think of my friend who ran the 5K with me yesterday. She put her key fob for her car inside the side of her tights. At mile 1 it slipped down to between her legs. We weren't running together but I can just picture her trying to get the fob out while running ha ha I said the race might have been extra special if you left it there.

    @Ohhim I know you haven't had a coach for real long, but how do you like it? I'm considering getting a coach for my next race (training starts this week/next week), just to help keep me on track and look for ways to help me improve.
