THE MANY ULTRAS OF A 100-MILE JOURNEY

- Claire Walla
Ultra Crew

Taking my place on a blanket surrounded by bags and coolers, I immediately learned the most prevalent aspect of any crewing experience: waiting.

We played Uno. We checked the time. The sun set. Sean’s mom got nervous.

“Is that Sean?” she’d ask when a runner approached. “Do you think he’s O.K.?” she’d follow up when it was someone else. Alex, who would be pacing Sean from Forest hill to the finish line, grew anxious.

“I just want to go,” he said, fidgeting in his collapsible chair. I hadn’t planned on being part of a crew that day. But when I met up with friends that afternoon at the Forest hill Aid Station (mile 62), they invited me along as they crewed their friend Sean, who was running his first Western States, which starts in Squaw Valley, California. It sounded like fun.

Carbohydrate Confusion

When it comes to food and nutrition, we tend to overcomplicate things. Eat this, not that. Run fasted, restrict sugar. Unfortunately, much of the controversy stems from observations and sensationalized media headlines vs. actual data, leaving the consumer more confused from their Google search than they were before.
