    Tunes till run too - are do we continue with the natural theme and just listen to the wind

    Music maybe 25% of the time. Music maybe 25% of the time. Don't want to get too used to it because none of the races I do are mp3 player legal, so why get used to running hard or long with tunes if it won't help when it's important. So instead I run with music when I feel like the little extra...

    Other than footwear, are you a minimalist triathlete?

    Yeah, I don't know what the Yeah, I don't know what the slowtwitch people would say about barefoot tri, but it probably wouldn't be the most encouraging thing in the world. I just registered for the Honu 70.3 in June and will be doing it in my Bikilas, with the bike I bought from craigslist a...

    $30 for a 5k?!

    I think racing is just I think racing is just getting more expensive, and I'd guess one of the chief reasons is the cost of insurance and coverage. I do more triathlons than straight runs, but with a tri you're gotta have lifeguards, buoys, a park area for transitions, bike racks, road closure...

    VFF and Injinji

    I'm a massive VFF-whore, I I'm a massive VFF-whore, I have three pairs, and I always wear socks unless I'm doing a tri. It cuts down the speed of smell, for sure. And I don't consciously buy bigger and didn't try on my first pair wearing the Injinis. The socks are so thin that I would say the...

    Anniversary Tri Coming Up!

    Next weekend is the Ko'Olina Sprint Tri. This is exciting because it'll be my first repeat triathlon. This is the one that got me going and I'm very excited to see how far I've come over the last 365. I'm an unapologetic VFF enthusiast and will be doing the run course in my Bikilas, but there...

    Best running scenes in movies?

    Bloodsport, the scene where Bloodsport, the scene where JCVD runs away from the agents. Because, well, how badass is JCVD? I'd throw Rocky and Run Fatboy Run on but others already have. And I can't argue with all the running Tenant does as The Doctor. And Luke out jogging with a green Muppet...

    DeadMan 5k and 10k

    TJ- Nah, if Survivors or TJ- Nah, if Survivors or Zombies want to be barefoot the race team doesn't care. No special divisions needed. I'd be surprised if a few Zombies didn't end up with only one shoe on anyway.

    VFFs Are the Worst shoes for your feet

    I dig my VFFs. Fixed my knee I dig my VFFs. Fixed my knee issues and made running fun again (for the first time). I'm kind of a Vibram whore now, actually. I've got a pair for running, Bikilas, a pair for teaching, KSOs, and a pair for hiking, TrekSports. And yes, the kids trip out on the toe...

    "This led to the rather comical sight of competitors running barefoot..."

    Not to pick a fight, but Not to pick a fight, but seeing a bunch of triathletes running barefoot while pushing their bikes for five minutes just to get to the mount line would be kind of funny. Your choice is run barefoot with your shoes clipped in to the bike or clip-clop along in cycling...

    Wet feet safe for barefoot run in triathlon?

    I have not done the run of a I have not done the run of a tri barefoot. But I have done a few triathlons and my feet never feet all that damp, or soft, after the ride. SayPay just did a BF duathlon, so he might have something good to say too. Here's his race report.

    Wet feet safe for barefoot run in triathlon?

    Good call, Abide, though I Good call, Abide, though I personally don't want to spend the time in T1 dealing with power. I guess if you did it prior to the race it would still be ok. Also, in the time you are on the bike your feet really don't get all that wet, so I don't think softness will be...
