@trailrunnerdoug @therunchat @wser Yes! I’m pretty experienced (though a mid-packer). I didn’t really expect a “vacation race” to be that serious. It was serious. 😆

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@StevenOnTheMove The worst.

@therunchat A6: Fueling (for anything longer than a half). #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@therunchat A5: In 12 week intervals, and then tweak weekly for the coming week, depending on life scheduling challenges. #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@mook_is_mj @therunchat ... And wind up purchasing *another* new [pair of leggings / long sleeve / short sleeve / tank / gloves / pullover / rain shell] because I left the other four at home.

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@NitaSweeney @therunchat And two days before, it turns to hourly. Amiright?

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@therunchat A4: 7 days, right up until the night before. #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@therunchat A3: I prepare by rechecking the weather app every 45 mins to see if that really means I’m going to get rained on. #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@DylanIsWriting @therunchat @AfterShokz And yacht rock. Don’t forget the yacht rock.

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@therunchat @AfterShokz A2: I have 3 playlists all long enough to survive ultras: Get Happy (happy songs); Get Heavy (rock and metal); and Get Feelings (because at hour 16, sometimes you just want to emote). #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@therunchat A1: Check the weather days in advance, and make sure I don’t accidentally wear my “long run outfit” on a short run day. #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@therunchat Jenna. Seattle currently in Utah. That fish the bird dropped on the sidewalk. #runchat

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@savascha @kittenwithawhip This resonates. I also took my husband’s name, but nothing is more enfuriating to me than being called “Mrs. [Husband’s last name]” by people that don’t actually know I’m married (e.g., hotel desk clerks). I resent the assumption.

@meggayman @therunchat I see your afternoon view from the Fremont Bridge, and raise you the 7:12am view.

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@Tahoe200ultra OMG this is the best soup I’ve ever had in my whole life.

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@LanterneOrange @JamilCoury I did this in 2020 too! Were you proud, but also a little bit concerned about the person you had apparently become? Y’know, a person who runs a solo, un-sanctioned 100 miler? 👊🏽

[Jenna Powers @JPowersTweets]

@JamilCoury Finally breaking 24-hours in a 100 miler at the Pine Creek Challenge in PA. Finished in 23:22, 3rd woman overall. 🤘🏽

@BartYasso When you have the same #TBT photo it can only be because we were together on this day 4 years ago! 🙏🏽
