26 miles and 385 yards in Five Fingers Bikilas

Blair has been logging serious miles in his KSOs and Bikilas while accumulating a nice collection of Vibram Five Fingers. Here is what he had to say:

Hi guys,

Just wanted to send along a pic of my second marathon is my Vibrams.  First one was in my KSOs.  This one was in my Bikilas, along with a pair of Injinji socks - ran a personal best.  Tried the socks out one day cause it was pouring rain on a long run - really liked them.  Still have yet to see another pair of Vibrams in a race here in Atlantic Canada.  The Bikilas are much more suited for road racing - even though the KSOs feel like a much better fit for kicking around and breathe better as well.  Slated for a trail half marathon in September then another marathon in October.  Made sure I bought a pair of Treks for the trail - hard to believe how well that leather breathes.  I can see how this can be addicting.  I have my eye on both the new KSO Trek Sports for my October race and the Smartwool Classics to get me through the winter.  Real excited about the new models you previewed for 2011.  Maybe next year the kids will be wearing them across the finish line as well.  :)

Cheers!

PS - looking forward to buying a bday shoes T-shirt - hopefully a tech T :)  Great idea.

Blair, congratulations on your PR in the Marathon by the Sea and glad you like the t-shirt!
