Oh wow, not sure why but the temptation is so strong to turn this post into a 400 page religious debate.

Hahaha... At the very least we could discuss who are the "real" athletes - swimmers, bikers, or runners...

Restoration of world order... world peace ... normal state of things ;)

Actually just an observation borne out of the fact that runners are less obsessed with their (and OTHERS) shoes than what cyclists are with their (and others) bicycles :)

 

Remember: It is NOT about the bike. Maybe it is about the needl[e/ing]?

Ironman 2009 World Champ stats, using 1653 complete results of those that completed the event http://ironman.com/e...m#axzz12jaESvgJ

44% had the run as their best discipline

31% had the swim as their best discipline

25% had the cycle as their best discipline

 

'their best' being the highest position overall for the specific discipline within the competition

 

Guess the saying that the ironman is a running event, where you have to swim and cycle to get to the start is true? ;)

True , it's about the Vibram's.

 

Those things are too expensive, the latest craze seems to homemade be "Jesus sandals"

If you google the book born to run you will find various links to places selling sandals.

Malkoppe I tell you, the Vibram's at least have tread and they keep the foot quite secure, closest to running barefoot, especially the Bikila.
