Article Thumbnail The SNEWS View: WS 100 endurance run observations - Product, privacy and sloshing packs
Jul 1, 2009
"I was hanging out helping brain-dead runners summit the Devil’s Thumb climb in the Western States 100 last Saturday, June 27. It’s a nasty, rocky, 1,500 foot climb over 1.8 miles that comes for most in the hottest part of the day. And it was pretty hot, dry and dusty last weekend. As I escorted runner after runner from the top to the medical aid weigh-in, got their bottles and packs refilled, and made sure they were in OK shape for the remaining 52.2 miles, I found myself taking a look at the apparel, gear, food and product they all had.

At the just-completed IHRSA..."

Article Thumbnail Little robots in my pants?
Aug 18, 2006
There was a time in my life when I would have fattened the lip of someone who told me I should be wearing nano-pants. Thankfully, I’ve mellowed with age. Now, my response is more along the lines of an eyebrow-raised, “Reeeally?” followed by a furtive glance in each direction in search of the nearest escape. But there I was, face-to-face with nano-pants. Well, not literally, but virtually as I was surfing the web.
