Long run with Buddy Jones, a CA La Sportiva pro.
Here's some tips for running with an elite athlete:
1. Don't.
2. Bobble your headlamp when the look back to make sure you're upright. It makes it look like you're running.
3. Try not to feel like a sissy when you eat and drink and they do so minimally.
4. When you finish off your 4000+ vert with 7 miles of rollers, pretend like a 9min pace isn't hard. Pretend really hard.
5. Take their advice about how to suck less. Usually worth it.
Oh, and there were so many ticks on our legs that it looked like mud splatters. What a lovely day.
