Nah. Everyone just cruises at 10 min/ mile pace for sub 17hr 100 mile finishes.

Yes road vs trail and then under 5k gain vs 10-20k gain makes big difference for most.

I had some decent races but never felt like I’ve ever had a complete race other than a marathon.

Badwater finisher. Was 119 at 9pm for 2022 race start. I crewed last year and it didn’t seem as hot.

The park and surrounding area is oddly spectacular.

Congrats on the 1k milestone.

I was hoping to hit 2.5k but my foot currently has other plans so prob end up at 2250. However I do have 260k of elevation gain.

Where did you find great deal on adi pro 4? Cheaper than $150 on adidas site?

Yeah he was allowed to buy pre-IPO shares for something like a tenth of a cent a share with the full contribution. Crazy good scam for not being a “scam”.

Because 2025 nuss and mvb jr look great. And we have to go to the portal for 2026

Nice run! Glad you enjoyed the race put on bad Lazy Hound. I’ve known the RD team for years and know they care about having happy runners. Course distances can be difficult to be exact. RD has made many contacts in the industry so I wouldn’t be surprised to continue seeing sponsors like ON at their races.

If you want a trail shoe to try pick up a pair of adidas speed ultra. I really like them.

Can save some money and get the non plated version but the $40 difference is worth it to me based on having both. The new version will be out in the spring. But that’s $220

As stated by others several times already -40 isn’t that common. Last year coldest was -15 two days. We had continuous snow on the ground from around Xmas till late March and higher up in the mountains until late May. Like anything you adapt to it. We’re outside running around with dog all year except those few days it’s below zero. The price you pay to no sweat the minute you walk outside

Oh darn. Not that hard to stay warm for 3 months. Beats swampass for 8+ months

BZN isn’t a sprawling city so 15 miles from campus puts you in the mountains, on a farm, or in Belgrade which will be slightly cheaper by maybe 10-15%. Then you have to deal with commute during the winter which will vary day to day. Hopefully on the bad days the plows have already started. I’ve missed the airport exit from the interstate because I could see the giant green sign through the snow.

We live in BZN and love it. Housing is ridiculous but is starting to come down. New build What I consider a basic starter home 1500sf 3bed 2 bath on 8k sf lot is $500k. Lot of new build 2500sf on 10k sf lot push $900k. Alternative is 30-40 yr old 2500 sf that needs updating for $800k. Then it just goes up to however much you want to spend. Google Running Elk Ranch.
Tax is generally around 0.6% of assessed value which aren’t far off from actual list / sale prices. The problem for many is that assessed values have 2-3x in the past 6-8 yrs. Many complain about out of staters coming and buying “everything” up but none complain about getting 3-4x for their house they bought 15yrs ago.
Benefits of BZN are based around location to year round activities, airport, Yellowstone , big sky, and slightly further Tetons and glacier. fishing, hiking, skiing, hunting, anything outdoors. Yes winter is cold but you get use to it and gear these days is so much better and it’s not that often it’s -30 even with wind chill.
Economy is weird. Not much as big business / corporate work but skilled trades pay well and hourly at Taco Bell is like $22 and then all the tourist guide stuff.
No place is perfect but this is close to it for us as of now.
