Get Unlost

Go from overwhelmed to confident on your first self-supported multi-day race. A step-by-step planning system for your first self-supported ultra: kit, route, fueling, race week, and execution.

Based on the system I used to complete the TCR.

Inside your download

• The Ultra Mindset: adopt the “operator” identity, use the Rule of Ugly, and focus on finishing (fast is a byproduct).
• The 5-Piece Kit System: end analysis paralysis by organizing gear into five buckets (Ride / Body / Recovery / Repair / Admin).
• The Route Blueprint: turn a blank map into a robust plan using a resupply-first map stack and a bail-out audit.
• The Fueling Engine: lock in a carbs-per-hour target and use the two-tier fueling system (on-bike + real food).
• The Race Week Playbook: reverse-engineer the final 7 days for calm, confident execution.
• Executing Race Day: psychological + logistical protocols (including an emotional first-aid kit for the night).

How it works

1. Adopt the operator mindset (logistics manager, not athlete).
2. Pack using the 5-Piece system so every gram has a job.
3. Build a robust route with resupply gaps and bail-outs handled first.
4. Run your fueling engine (hourly targets + two-tier food strategy).
5. Execute race week with a reverse timeline and system checks.
6. Execute race day with simple protocols when things go sideways.

The goal isn’t perfect conditions. It’s a plan you can execute.

Who this is for

• You’re doing your first self-supported ultra and the logistics feel bigger than the riding
• You’re drowning in gear lists, routing tabs, and conflicting advice
• You want a system (simple modules you can reuse), not “pro tips”
• You’d rather start prepared than start heroic

Not for you if

• You want a training plan (this is logistics + execution, not workouts)
• You already have your systems dialed and just want marginal gains
• You’re looking for a deep tutorial on specific apps or tools (this stays tool-agnostic by design)
