This tail strategy brought to you by Petzl. Petzl, the leader in light technology with

reactive lighting, awesome stuff, Scott. Torch technology. Dang it. Here is the strategy

and this is a race strategy, not necessarily a training strategy. The race strategy is

for crossing small rivers and creeks. I'm sure there's people who disagree with me, but

when you're crossing a small creek and river, don't worry about tiptoeing through that

creek or river. Just get wet. Just go right through it because eventually you're going

to get wet. If you're tiptoeing through it, you might as well just go through it.

People get hurt trying to avoid getting their feet wet.

These shoes today are built for some water. Who built a trail shoe that doesn't drain?

One of the things that we, you and me like to categorize when we try new shoes, is how

times does a foot hit the ground before it quits squishing around in there? Instead of

just waiting and looking and trying to tiptoe through that creek, just go ahead and get

in. Get in and get out. Yeah. Well, that's a good tip. And if you have a, if you have

a petsal head and lamp on, I mean a trail torch, you'll be able to see that water, navigate

it properly and get in and out, injury free, and hit the times you want to hit. Go to

petsal.com and look at all of their head torches that are specifically made for trail running.

Today, we're going to start a new segment of the podcast called the VAS Course in Review.

We're going to have various podcasters on talking about various races. They're favorite

races. They're favorite races. Races that we need to know about. Races we might do. And

we're going to ask them very rapid fire, quick questions about that course that will

help us as nation members decide, hmm, maybe I need to buy a plane ticket and go race
