Neat! That's in my neck of the woods. Haven't seen any other barefooters around here though. Did a 5k a few months ago, and I was the only one in min shoes. I was slower back then, first race, ground was wet, didn't want to stick out too much, excuses, excuses, etc. Anyway, if I can drop a couple more minutes off my time and get into the low 20's, I might do some 5k's next year, just to represent.

Here's the abstract. (oops! just saw that the abstract was already posted in a different thread)

And two more articles on the same paper.
