Out of Air: Annihilator 50k preview
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2013/08/annihilator-50k-preview.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. There isn't really much to say about this race, except that with 5 hour cutoffs at end of Bravo section (4700ft up/4700ft down), 8 hours cutoff at end of Charlie section (6700ft up/6700ft down), my chance of DNF this weekend is excellent. Maybe I should bring more beer instead of running hydration since beer will more likely to be consumed after an early missed cutoff. August 5, 2013 at 6:52 AM. Holy hell, look at that elevation! I would definitely hide some beer in my drop bag(s).

Out of Air: End of summer and fall racing
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2012/08/end-of-summer-and-fall-racing.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2012. End of summer and fall racing. In the past 2 days, I have sent the drop emails to Laurel Valley and Medoc Meltdown, totally disappointed my Blue Ridge Relay team by dropping from the team a month from the race, and sitting here debating whether I should drop from Medoc Marathon as well. I'm really hoping for a frequently surgery discount from my orthopedic surgeon. August 8, 2012 at 3:53 PM. Crap, that sucks, Jim! August 10, 2012 at 6:23 AM. August 10, 2012 at 5:02 AM. Damn, th...

Out of Air: November 2011
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. 2011 Mountain Masochist Trail Run. By mile 7 (Horton mile 5.7) we reach the first aid station at Cashaw Creek trail head. I asked for the cut off time and was told that I had a 5 minute cushion! She had miss read the aid station time table early and missed me at the previous aid station by a few minutes. My cushion is down a bit to 13 minutes at this point. Jade reloads my goodie bag and fill my water bottle and rushes me out of the aid station. How could it be? Then I remembere...

Out of Air: December 2011
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Jacksonville Banks 1/2 Marathon, PR attempt. My running career started with the 2008 OBX 1/2 Marathon, which I finished in 2:09 with minimal training. 3 month later, I ran the Myrtle Beach 1/2 Marathon in February of 2009 with with even less training, and struggled for a 1 min PR at 2:08. That turned out to be the last time I raced a 1/2 marathon. Fast forward to November of 2011. After Jade finished Medoc Marathon. And I finished Mountain Masochist. I crossed the timing mat a...

Out of Air: January 2013
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. I can come up with a training plan for any situations, including some rather hopeless ones. Following my shoulder surgery in middle of October last year, I took about 5 weeks off from running. To keep me from going insane with boredom, I joined a gym and started walking on the treadmill. So this formed the basis of my new training plan. Reasons why this plan should NOT succeed: too many to list. Result: held PR pace for 2 miles then crashed and burned spectacularly. Week 2: 62 m...

Out of Air: October 2012
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 1, 2012. I did not achieve my main goal at Hinson Lake. Which is to run/walk/crawl for 24 hours. I quit just shy of 21 hours. My pain tolerance is apparently lower than most people out there who persisted to the very end. However, there are quit a few things that went well, very well at Hinson for me. Training has definitely paid off. I have been playing with Hammer Perpetuem. Other things did not go well. Blisters.blisters suck, need to learn to tape. Chaffing.need better lubs. I AM With...

Out of Air: Annihilation
http://jim-wei.blogspot.com/2013/08/annihilation.html
Tuesday, August 13, 2013. I originally planned to drive up to Morganton and camp at Mark's house Friday night, since Mark lived only 10 minutes from South Mountain State Park. However Jade's last minute consignment shopping means I get to stay home with the babies on Friday night. So I woke up at 2:30am on Saturday morning and left the house at 3:30 am for the three and half hour drive to the race. He saw that scan and finally decided that I was likely not a credit card thief. We tag his head to finish.
