Plus, because they don't breathe at all, they hold in every ounce of sweat and wet feet start to chafe and blister. Of course, mushers do their fair share of running as well, so it's probably a good question why cyclists don't use them. (Maybe they're also quite heavy?) I myself have never tried them. <br /><br />Chris ... I just looked at a bunch of race course photos and I was blown away. This area looks so much more incredible that the Susitna Valley. I will hopefully have more to report about it later, but so far this definitely seems like the Alaska 100-miler to do should you ever consider coming back for a "shorty." :-) Awesome job in the ITI, by the way!Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-22043153525663113952010-03-15T23:32:48.736-06:002010-03-15T23:32:48.736-06:00Great!

I'm used to swimming while pedaling (sometimes literally), but not when it's 0 degrees out. <br /><br />I considered bringing a pair of NEOS but the stupid things already have holes in them. (I just started using them last March.) Plus the soles are terribly slippery on any kind of ice.<br /><br />Still, I have a fair amount of confidence in my Wiggy's waders. Good traction on the bottom.
