For Long haul business class (Club World). I have heard club world seats are bad. Is Virgin or a US airline better?

3 people on my crew just came back from there own Western States camp. Ran 3 sections in 3 days. After camp, they determined a plan.

The plan is to run 7 or 6 minute mile pace on the back half from Foresthill. They want to run 7 minute mile pace on the Cal street section, which has been done before. Is that reasonable?

6 minute mile pace from Highway 49 to finish, which has been done before because the podium was tight one year.

The runner on my crew has paced it 3x before this with his coach running. Now, he is running it. His pacer/coach has raced it 4x before.

They want to do 6 minute mile pace from Green Gate to finish. Depending on what the race looks like at Foresthill as 1st place is breaking CR, 2nd place 56 minutes behind then race is on for 3rd place.

Plan B: If the podium is tight at Foresthill, then 6 minute mile pace from Foresthill to finish.

My side hustle is interviewing internationally renowned orthopedic surgeons since 2023. I am going to Europe in July as a business trip to do 13 in person media 2 hour interviews. I have people in Helsinki, Copenhagen, Munich, Innsbruck, Madrid, Barcelona, 3 people in France and 3 people in London.

My aunt lives in England, so we’re having dinner together. When I get over there, I will travel with 2 friends and having dinner with other friends along the way.

How many days should this trip be?

I like Spyder/Kappa better than North Face.

First, after each airport pickup, there is an IN N Out stop. LAX is special.

After LAX airport pickup, the In N Out stop is special.

There is park next to IN N Out and the LAX fence, where 380’s to private jets land/takeoff on 24L/R runway. Bring earplugs, it’s very loud. The approach is inbetween In N Out and a billboard over a highway. It’s a good way to sit outside, eat burgers and kill time. One of favorite activities in LA. We park, order inside, eat our food outside at the park. Burgers with a side of 350? Look it up on youtube: LAX In N Out.

Meeting 2 people for dinner when I fly in next Monday. Looking for margs, nachos, quesadillas, chips, salsa, guacamole, queso’s, asada, etc? Plates smothered in cheese with rice/beans place.

I know the different flex boots for Tech and Speed. You want a softer flex for speed. Like 90 Flex for speed and 110 flex for tech. They might use a 110/130 Flex. I am just wondering.

At the local grocery store, each month we have a different group of kids that come in bag/carry out groceries as a fundraiser (4H, HS cheer, all star cheer, travel soccer, the baseball association, 8th grade class trip, close up, catholic school, private school, etc). My mother will tip the cheerleaders $20 NOT to bag her groceries.

Will they be helping out, spectating and crewing runners like Daron, Johnny Moseley, etc? Have they been to Western States in the past? The start is June 27th, 5AM start at the Palisades Tahoe village. Runners will go up the service road. There will be a 4AM tram load on race day for spectators at the escapement climb. The festivities start Wednesday before the race. Hope to see them running around the village in their headgear sponsor, taking pictures and signing stuff.

He is not on start list currently and golden ticket races are done. Does he have other plans or INJ?

If a sponsor-designated runner withdraws by May 1st, the sponsor can typically designate another qualified runner. If it’s past May 1st, the sponsor spot goes to the waitlist.
