Ohhh... does it always bother you what others choose to wear? A wee bit insecure, are we?
Thanks for your concern for my poor taste in fashion.

I think if you went to a tiddly winks tournament you'd find that a lot of the players had a certain style of hair and dress. Hobby groups and other subcultures and cliques tend to converge on a style. The ultra runners have adopted a style within the hipster milieu.

You are definitely the poster coming across as insecure on this thread.
Wear your trucker hat with pride. Life is too short to do otherwise.
Thanks for the advice, seriously. I'll leave it alone. But don't worry, I wear my trucker hat "with pride," as you say. Happy Friday.

And a large fraction of them have GoPros and produce films about their race. I looked on youtube for videos of the main local marathon with several thousand runners each year and found two short videos that were just uploads of some clips their wife or somebody took. I looked for videos of a local ultra that has fewer than 100 runners and found 15 videos, all of them with music over them and titles with "a film by Joe Shmoe" or "produced by John Doe".
I'd like to do this ultra, but how many selfie sticks will I have to navigate through? I've done some long trail races before and everybody seemed really cool. Don't know quite what to think of all the youtube navel-gazing.

Why all the Ultra-HATE for Ultra-runners?
Is it because of the holiday spirit?
No.
It is because Ultra-runners deserve ULTRA-HATE because they are second or third tier or fourth tier runners.
They are slower that the top tier distance runners, so they run farther and farther and endure more pain than anyone else because they think they are cool…when in reality…they are just a lot slower than the really good top tier runners that do events like the Olympics.
There is a reason that there is NO ULTRA EVENT AT THE OLYMPICS.
Ultra-runners will never be able to compete at the Olympics because they are very slow and boring.
They like to make very slow and boring video logs, blogs, stories, reports, analysis, nonsense, drivel, and BS excuses about their latest race at TNF where they got beat by 40 minutes in a 50 Mile race.
Zach Miller had time for a relaxed lunch before Sage Canaday was able to finally finish with a massive bonker race again.
What a joke.

For the record, I don't hate ultra-runners, I want to be one. But I do roll my eyes at their obsession with recording and posting everything.
The film of the TNF 50 was one of the best race coverages of the year. The course looked awesome and running with the leaders like that was the bomb.
I don't run ultras but that made me want to try one. Lotta butthurt here by lower-tier road guys.
It drives me absolutely insane at trail races. The sheep have become sheep by trying so hard to not be sheep.
