New shoes cometh before a fall

[GaryB1966]

Well it was new trail shoes day today, really nice Scott Kinabalu Supertracs in a rather restrained banana yellow I ran only about 250 yards in them before falling to some disguised black ice producing the middle-aged version of a triple toe loop followed by a roll in the mud, Robin Cousins eat your heart out...

The run was into the teeth of a sleety gale but managed my 10k before breakfast. Passed by lots of drivers in cars on the final , into the wind, 3k uphill section shaking their heads at my insanity, I just smiled...

Hmmm might think about a cape...

[Hidden in reply to GaryB1966]

We loved Banana Man whn my daughter was small. A cape would be excellent - help you lft off instead of crashing next time you go flying on the ice 😉

Yikes! They're bright 😎 At least people will see you coming. Enjoy them and well done on the run.

Well done you,I bet they were all jealous!😀😀

[Anniemurph Graduate10]

Fab shoes! Fab routine! What was your score? I hope you beat Robin Cousins?

I also hope you're okay!

[GaryB1966 Graduate10 in reply to Anniemurph]

I think I scored well in terms of artistic impression but my technique needs work... the shoes are great, much better than my last ones

Even supertracs have no grip on ice 🙄. Well done for getting out. You do sort of get used to the conditions. Getting home, a hot drink and a hot bath become super luxurious 😁😃🏃‍♂️
