Team Yogaslackers had a couple of things going on this weekend. The core adventure racing group took second in the four day GoldRush AR in Sonoma County, California, narrowly missing first. Hopefully one of the guys will put on a race report soon. Secondly, I (Andy Magness, Yogaslacker at large), along with Mario Czarnomski set out to do a one day run of the Mantario Trail in Canada. There's a video of our exploit here.
I ran the entire 41 miles in the X-talon 212's and in a single pair of debris socks. i'd brought several changes of socks because i knew my feet would be wet, and they were, but for some reason (ruggedness of the terrain? quick drying socks? superior footwear/biomechanics?) i never needed to change them out and finished with no blisters and just the beginnings of hot spots on the balls of my feet. And of course i didn't get any debris to speak of in the shoes. After 14 hours of foot travel through pretty rugged terrain i was suprised to say the least. Anyway, it was a good adventure!
