Tyler sent in the above photos taken after he completed his first half marathon in his KSO FiveFingers — the San Antonio Rock’n’Roll half:

I have been running since June in my Black KSOs. The pics were taken at the after race party in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome / Finishing Line of the San Antonio Half Marathon 2009.

I had people / runners talking to me throughout the run about my “crazy cool shoes”. I overheard a couple of people saying, “Gosh, that guy is hard core running in those” which of course, is a perfect ego boost before taking on a quick 13.1 mile run.

I finished in 2:07 which wasn’t great but not bad for my first.

I’m planning on doing another half in December, Dallas White Rock 1/2 Marathon as part of my training for a Marathon in my VFFs in early 2010.

Great website!

Nice times! And congrats on completing your first half-marathon “VFF-shod.”
