Found a pair of xc spikes for $7 at sierra trading post, they were size 11 (I'm 12.5) but I decided to go for it anyways. Made for a rough race, but probably less rough than sliding around the grass in trainers. I was surprised at how fast it went out, I was in like 30th place the first half mile and then moved up slowly. It was kind of hard to get around people and it was hard to get into a good rhythm with my feet feeling pretty awkward- but I had fun. 4.5 mile cooldown with Weber guys and Simon. |
