Threadjack: Have you run Bandera? It intrigues me.
Yes, several times... it is very well run and in a great part of the Hill Country. Bandera and Cactus Rose are put on by the same RD on a lot of the same trails. Do it!

Food - I'm going to try mushed up beans spread in corn tortillas and rolled up like little taquitos this weekend. We'll see how it goes.
Only an ultrarunner would look forward to that. Sounds pretty good to me!
I just love the "cultural" difference in the food here, where some of you are going for tortilla as a Brit I would probably go for a sandwich. However I am thinking that tortilla wraps are in fact a genious idea as they are self contained....cool.
I am going to try out tortillas as well with a little bit of left over chicken in the fridge

Flour tortillas work better... they will still get soggy like bread does, but they hold together better than most bread.
I have also found that turkey and cheddar cheese on chiabatta bread works pretty good... but you better have something to drink when you eat it, especially after several hours at altitude (read... dry mouth)...
jlynn - I always end up with dry mouth. The flour tortillas work pretty good? I was thinking corn would be crumbly. How about pita bread? Nice little pocket. Was even wondering if humus would be a good.
Humus would probably be a bad idea:
humus: The part of the soil profile that is composed of decomposed organic matter from dead and decaying plants and animals.
Hummus, OTOH, would probably be good.
I've not tried, nor am I interested in trying hummus... couldn't speak for that... Also have not tried pita, if if doesn't hold together, it would be a Pain In The Ass! Haaaaaaaahahahahah! (I crack me up)
The flour tortillas are good... the turkey is OK and avocado adds moisture, keeping it from being too dry... the chiabatta and cheddar cheese can get a little dry. I find that sometimes I have to make an effort to take smaller bites and wash it down, sometimes...
so, there's that... and Russ is a smart ass!
Being a smart ass must be a Russ thing. I have another trail running buddy . Name Russ. Is a smart ass.
I'm real bad about putting too much in my mouth at one time when running, then I'm huffing and puffing and trying to get it down without choking to death.
Being a smart ass must be a Russ thing.
it's my greatest attribute
