I received my new Altr Lone Peak 3.0 trail shoes in the mail last night so I took them out for a spin this morning. I mostly liked them but found them to be a bit sloppy on the technical parts of the trails. Once when the trail was really sloped off to my right the shoe went one way and my foot the other causing me to go down. Hopefully I will be able to find a better way to lace them and make them hug my foot better. I do love the large tow box and the amount of cushioning us perfect.

I ended up running 14 miles. It was 106 outside before I finished. I took 100 oz of water with me and drank every drop. After finishing I jumped in my pool drank another 40 oz of fluid then had breakfast. Even with all that fluid and breakfast I still lost 5 lbs from my pre run weight. That's a lot of sweating!

Wow. 106 14 miles I bet you were thinking about that pool in the last 4 miles. Nice run sir I will stop complaining about the 90 deg we have here lol.

Wow...Is 100 oz something like 5 gallons? I'm not good at math like that. :-)

Yasi. It's tough right now but in another six weeks it will start too cool down and I will have a long fall/winter/spring of beautiful running weather.

IJR. No it's much less than that. I couldn't run with 5 gallons on my back. It's got to be less than 2 gallons.

The Googles says that 100 oz. Is 0.78 gallons. Losing 5 pounds on a single run is crazy! You are a tough dude. When it's this hot and i go with the camelbak, my back gets tore up from that thing. Do you get the same thing, or is it different in the no humidity world?

From Rhett on Mon, Jul 25, 2016 at 19:31:20 from 66.185.237.180

Tom. I run with an Ultimate Direction SJ hydration pack that is specifically designed for ultra running. It doesn't seem to bounce at all on my back so it doesn't get bothered by it. I even wore it in my 50 mile race on Catalina Island so I don't think humidity is a factor.
