GGT 57km - Robyn Lesh
I'm racing in Austria! A race with a huge climb (~4,000ft) off the bat and over 11,000ft in total. Gonna be a good time! Training race for CCC at the end of next month.
Robyn Lesh's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu
Products in this list
- AONIJIE 4L Mont Blanc Series Trail Running Pack -MB4L by AONIJIE — Light, comfortable, cheap. Well designed pockets. Does all the little things right!
(Note, you might need to reinforce some stitching in the first few months of use, but once this is done the pack is fire)
- Anti-friction cream by Sidas — This cream is AMAZING. I put it on the night before racing and again the morning of and is the best preventative blister care I've ever found. 🎉
- SiS BETA Fuel Gel - Neutral by SiS — 15% off: <span id="docs-internal-guid-35070df2-7fff-7f44-54d4-1e8d39da192f"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ROBYNRUNS
</span></span>40g carb in a small volume. The Neutral flavor has not much/no taste (which I prefer).
I empty these into the hydrapac nutrition flasks and the combo makes nutrition SO much easier to get down.
- COROS Heart Rate Monitor by COROS — SO comefy and effective. I got my coros arm band when I wanted a backup for my chest strap monitor. (like three years ago) And I never went back. Slight (~1sec) delay from chest strap (because the arm band is optical vs. detecting the heart's electrical activity) but the numbers line up and the arm band is so so much more comfortable that the slight delay is absolutely worth it.
- Trail running socks - Trail Ultra by Sidas — These socks specifically. Thin, light, grippy, cooling (cooling darts on the top of foot). A little bit of ankle protection while still being awesome thin summer socks around the foot. 10/10!
- Precision Fuel - Carb Only Drink Mix - 30 Serving by Precision Fuel — I use the carb only drink mix because I am a low salt sweater and prefer to get my salt elsewhere.
Precision drink mix has a very light taste and isn't too sweet. A really nice simple product. I mix at 30g/bottle to supplement my gels.
- AONIJIE Trekking Pole Holder – Compatible with C9116 Hydration Pack-E4433 by AONIJIE — This is the simplest most versatile pole quiver out there. It works on Aonijie packs but also on any pack! (there are two options for attachments on the top and one simply goes around the shoulder strap of any pack) And if your pack doesn't have a way to attach the bottom you can just use a safety pin.. SO simple, well designed and inexpensive.
- Shokz OpenSwim Pro Headphones Red by Shokz — Holds mp3 files with a battery life of 6hrs in mp3 mode. No mp3 player needed! Hallelujah 🎉
- Apex 4 by COROS — Recently upgraded from my Apex 2 (which I used for 3+ years). Flashy! Better button and dial placement. Some new cool features like maps on a separate set of screens from the other metrics. Still super awesome user interface. (this is why I like coros over some other watch brands)
- ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE SUPERLITE by Leki — Super light, easily collapsed, clip-in gloves are great. Size up on the length if you're planning to use then for a while (more advanced = longer) and the customer service is great!
- JetBoots Prime by Therabody — Very easy to pack up and travel with. These are gonna be my summer racing/training relaxation/travel buddy!!
