Biomechanics are a huge cause of blisters so how your foot lands is key. I definitely don't like the uppers on the Hokas. I ended up cutting away a bunch of extra material to make them more supple.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-68820668411600588752012-07-03T14:30:22.712-06:002012-07-03T14:30:22.712-06:00Everybody is different -- read Fixing Your Feet if...Everybody is different -- read Fixing Your Feet if you haven't.

He was out there just for fun.<br /><br />Brett/ Brandon- I think the blisters were from pushing the downhills.

I would be more interested to hear if he heel strikes any when going downhill. I think even a little of that creates a ton of repeated forward sliding of the heel inside the shoe.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376446409534942024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-75357806243220999132012-07-03T12:18:50.468-06:002012-07-03T12:18:50.468-06:00Tim!

Doesn't sound like you respected that but I think your goals are different.<br /><br />Hokas = Blisters. They generate too much heat inside the shoe. I did better at WS100 with Injinji socks to combat that in that toes. Plus, water in the shoes never hurts. That being said, I haven't ever got out of that course without some kind of heal trouble. That last 5 miles down the road running 7 or so minute miles just pounds the shit out of you in ways you won't have to deal with the rest of the season.Brandon Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171059778161578566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-78960459566986918572012-07-02T12:32:26.962-06:002012-07-02T12:32:26.962-06:00sweet!

I wonder how he felt out there. Interesting comments on the bike training going in, which might have sapped your legs for the marathon, but will help you for the upcoming bike events. It's got to be very tricky trying to prepare for each and all of the events and be at the top of your game for all of them. What's with the shoes? You've worn them before without this problem. Was it too hot out (more sweat)? Was it your socks (friction)? I'm curious. Since you normally don't have issues with blisters, you probably don't do anything to prevent them like vaseline/body glide, etc. By the way, if I recall correctly, you were in the lead when you crashed last year, trying to tear up the course. I imagine that you'll be slightly less aggressive, or not, this year? Congratulations on a great start to Leadman!Wassdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442937157694109226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-6391105667137379432012-07-02T11:44:28.826-06:002012-07-02T11:44:28.826-06:00Yea but I can see from the chart the course is ver...Yea but I can see from the chart the course is very flat from mile 24.3 to mile 24.4. :?)<br /><br />Great start, and good job of keeping everything in perspective.
