20 days out from the Cocodona 250 and the nerves have arrived in full force….

#running #ultrarunning #ultramarathon

The conch was blown at 5:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100

Thoughtfully planned and carefully followed run today. Some Strava followers couldn’t handle it. Were they surprised that the kind runner they like from YouTube cares about humanity?

There is enough evidence to demand an arrest and investigation.

Feeling a little stale with my music listening lately, how are yall discovering new music these days? Just trusting the algorithm? Something else?

2025 continues to be a MF’er, but the comeback is on and I am so grateful to see the mileage coming back. #ultrarunning #running

Mistborn: the final empire

The original mistborn series is the easiest and a very enjoyable one ramp.

She is disappointed but alright. She was running 7th OA and had just taken over 1st place when it was called. But she is focusing on how she controlled all of the controllables.

Hope you’re treating yourself a little. Well earned!

Great meeting you, hate how it ended for yall.

Me at 14: I don’t want to go to school, I want to sit around and listen to metal all day instead
Me at 41: I don’t want to go to work, I want to sit around and listen to metal all day instead

Anyone a runner familiar with GPX files that has also loaded iOS or iPadOS 26 yet? Curious if the system knows how to handle GPX files finally and not ready to jump into the betas to find out.

@dcrainmaker.com any if how long the battery lasts in the Garmin HRM 600? I am assuming it’s 60 days at 1 hour per day, so 60 hours? And there is a setting for battery saver that reduces the LED flashes, how much does that setting save?

I believe we get to hang out in Oregon first?

2022: DNF
2023: 84 hours 9 minutes
2026: Let’s Fucking Go.

Race a month, shirt a month?

@wplate.bsky.social congrats on another finish. Loved following along again this year!

No matter how bad the day or week, Black Sabbath has always had my back. #metal

The 2025 edition of the Cocodona 250 ended earlier today. Watched this year from home and obsessed over it all week. No clue what to watch now…. #cocodona250 #running #ultrarunning

12k people watched Dan Green finish the Cocodona 250 on YouTube yesterday. That is unbelievable. Coolest part, someone watched yesterday and decided they wanted to try running or trail running. #cocodona250 #running #ultrarunning

Year 1 I probably should have taken leave I watched the stream so much. Year 2 and 3 I was out there…following too closely is how it starts….good luck

I finished Cocodona in just over 84 hours in 2023. What Dan Green just did in 58:47 and with just a reported 15 minutes of sleep, blows my mind. #cocodona250

After I finished the Cocodona 250 in 2023, my wife (and crew chief) banned me from racing in AZ….really tempted to break that ban in 2026 #cocodona250

The Cocodona 250 starts today. Not racing this year, but this race has replaced Western States as my must follow event of the year. So excited for those runners and the live stream. LFG! #cocodona250

Devil dog hat?

And if so…and if you were on the C&O today I said “Nice hat!”…my wife designed the logo and is toe former aid station captain to Toofi

Tomokazu Ihara is the first to finish Loop 2 in 24:32:50. #BM100

THANK YOU!

@dcrainmaker.com looking at the Fenix 8 software update (13.31) release notes, any idea what this means:

Added Support for HRM as Speed and Distance Monitor for BLE Sensors.

the snow won’t melt. My 50k this weekend is postponed/maybe cancelled. And there is another 15 inches of snow on the forecast. 😐
