.I remember finding the coal carrying championships by searching for reviews of Vivo barefoots and I added it to my favourites with a view to entering it (but I did not see the date at the time).Well I looked again at the website (Sunday) and found it was on easter Monday.Too late to even think about it.
I will definitly be interested in entering that next year.
When I found your reviews I remembered I was a member of this forum.


Welcome back mate, nice to see you.

Pity you didn't manage to do this years event, fingers crossed you'll make next years & we can get the chance to meet.

Have you checked out my own review of the Vivo Barefoot shoes?

Awesome photography by S69.

This captures perfectly what I was going through at the time.

Blood, sweat & snot. There wasn't much left I can tell you.

We might only be a small forum but were making inroads :grin:

Plus an email sent off to a running magazine along with photograph & a short message about the race.

Was that you in the start making a strong sprint start on the end?

I was near the pavement with black compression tights on in 3rd position till the camera went onto the leader.

Slight amendment to this years placing.

Finished in sixth overall, not seventh as posted earlier.

I need glasses & to learn to read properly :oops:

That's an improvement of 12 places in 3 years.
