This was a nice e-mail forwarded to me from a retailer in VA, Runner Bill's Sports. Tom Doyle bought a pair of our Roclite 295's from Runner Bill's to train and race in the National Off-Road Duathlon Championships and the rest is history. He won his age division and is a National Champion! Congrats Tom! I have attached his e-mail under "read more".
Dear Bill,
Thanks for hosting a seminar on INOV-8 trail running shoes this past January. I was not aware of the many INOV-8 models of great trail and trail/hard surface running shoes. You helped me to decide on the new Roclite 295 model and I have been extremely pleased with them. I bought them for their great off-road tread design and light weight. I already had two other manufactures trail shoes, but when I looked these over and took a test run in your store I felt like it was a much better trail shoe for me to use in the upcoming National Off-Road Duathlon. Little did I suspect that they would drop my trail running pace by 15 seconds a mile while providing a more sure footed feel.
Training for the National Off-Road Duathlon, which took place April 26th 2008, was going well. I had been MTN Biking all winter and knew I was fast on the bike. It was my trail running at the national level that I was concerned about. After going for several trail runs in the Roclite 295 I knew I had a shoe that would enable me to run my best on mixed trail and hard surface and I did. I won my age division to become a National Off-Road Duathlon Champion. Next big competition for my INOV-8 trail running shoes will be the Xterra – East Championship, off-road triathlon, June 15th. Whether rain or shine, I know I will run to the best of my ability.
Thanks again,
