Brandon Wood @bwood.me · 11/02/2025All very true. Luckily I know enough people who have done or at least attempted ITI (both on foot and bike), that I have lots of expertise to pull from. 010
Brandon Wood @bwood.me · 11/02/2025Definitely! I’ve ran in around -30F a few times, but not for anywhere near that long! That would become a real challenge at that distance, especially with how far apart the checkpoints are. I’m really impressed by the people who do that race unsupported! 010
Brandon Wood @bwood.me · 11/02/2025I appreciate the vote of confidence 😄 It’s a much different mindset than something like Arrowhead, where you pretty much just have to keep moving, and don’t have a lot of time to rest at checkpoints. With ITI, you really have to plan for sleep. 110
Brandon Wood @bwood.me · 11/02/2025Thanks! It was definitely an adventure. It was a tough race, and this wasn’t even a cold year! 110
Brandon Wood @bwood.me · 11/02/2025I had been resistant to ITI for years, but more recently it’s become more alluring. I’ll probably end up giving it a shot in the next year or two. 120
