Got my WAA (What an Adventure) Ultra gear in for my Moab 240 race in October. I learned my lesson from being exposed (and not in my usual, fun way!) during the course marking where we got stuck in the La Sal Mountains in a sleet storm in shirts and shorts!
So I got a long sleeve ultra carrier shirt, carrier belt, and most importantly: a packable rain jacket. Of course you can’t trust a piece of gear unless you test it out, so it was time to hit the showers!
Sheds like water off a duck’s back!
Oh! Do I make you wet?
All work and no play makes NPE a dull boy!
But NPE knows how to get a workout in just about anywhere 😉

I don’t know if I’m more excited about the photos, an ACTUAL waterproof jacket, or the fact you’re in for the Moab 240. Needless to say I’m very much looking forward to news on the race

For sure, it will be my running crowning achievement, hopefully! WAA isn’t cheap and apparently not available in the US, but I got it from a Canadian company trailrunnerstore.com for 40% off on Cyber Monday. The jacket works, but it’s something I hope I never have to use!

Mandatory kit is there for a reason though, those just in case moments. Over here a good jacker is worth it’s weight in event medals, I shall take a peak at them.

Sunburn and exposure are no joke. Undress appropriately. Words of wisdom from the guy who nearly froze his fingers on this mornings dog walk at -5f windchill

People tend to think me paranoid of sun, I almost always use sun protectant clothing, even gloves. Clothing can be amazing, too! Especially space age stuff that isn’t much warmer than not if you keep it damp. What I wasn’t expecting was snow in a desert, mountains are unpredictable, lesson learned. All the appropriate stuff is required for the race, but we were foolish and didn’t take it for the course marking.

Elevation is amazing. Lived in Colorado for 5 years. Surprised by how long it would snow into summer and star again in August.

I love this series so much. The one with your serenading the mop made me laugh out loud

It’s always good to test things before you use them, and I love the bright yellow here! Great images 🙂
