Got legally married back in January, but just now exchanged rings with family and friends. Our friends made a really cool ceremony where they asked guests to write hopes and wishes on paper, which then were burned with a zippo that Chicken delivered, and then we covered our ring fingers in the ashes before the rings went on. We did the party at my wife's mom's house in the countryside, ate traditional ham cooked in hay and bread, I sang the old American folk song 'Been all around this world' to kick off the dance party under stretch tents with a view of the Valley de la Cère with two great DJ's, and couldn't help but notice all the smiles. Pretty grateful now.

Looks like the watch Haraki was wearing in the pictures on the thread of Giles' and Alex's Japan trip

The video from this trip is going to be fantastic

I want one of those Boss coffees

Really enjoying this thread

@Chap Our grill came with a box of the industrial processed binchotan replica stuff, not the actual oak from Japan. On our first cook we did notice that even this stuff burns hotter than other charcoals I've used, but I wonder how the real thing is. Pretty dear though. Do you have experience with the Japanese oak real stuff?

Received this Konro from my wife and really happy with it. Ready to make some yakitori. Currently brewing some tare now (mirin, sake, soy, sugar, aromatics),
Anyone have any experience with this?

Paula’s jumper is fantastic

@Jcaz6996 @Dmart i have gotten through 7.5kg of homemade carb/electrolytes that I usually have as around 75 grams of carbs and 500mg sodium per 500ml of water.

My mix is equal parts maltodextrin, dextrose, and fructose with the electrolyte mix added. Blend it up and it dissolves better. Tastes sweet and salty like naked tailwind and costs 1/4 of the price.

For lower intensity stuff that does everything for me. When I do higher intensity stuff I step it up to 100 grams or more per hour, either by increasing the concentration of the mix or adding gels. I don’t eat any solid food running. I prefer it all as just the drink, then I don’t have to fuss with gels. My watch buzzes every mile so I drink then.

I did some weight tests to see how much water I lose running and it is a lot so I can basically drink as much as I want and know I’ll still be in a water deficit. In terms of carb loading outside training I don’t really do that, I know it works well for a lot of people but I think I have a carb heavy diet anyway so I just go with that. It’s interesting how different we all see when it comes to all this stuff. I have a pretty resilient gut and can eat and drink a lot without discomfort or barfing, which I think is actually the single major thing that has meant I do ok at ultras.

I've started making my own home-brew of carb/electrolyte drink since most of my runs are over 90 mins now I have to eat on every single run

Getting through those blocks takes way more effort than cruising around under 3 @Jcaz6996 so well done on that achievement
