0:39
year it was great to be able to run Hard Rock which is always a gift here at UTMB
0:45
it's more and more competitive more and more challenging there's nearly like 15
0:49
guys above 800 UTMB index there's a lot of carnage 30% drop rate I was doing
0:58
great I was within 10 minutes at like 70 80 K from first but my stomach turned
1:04
just trying to get as many carbs per hour as I possibly could so unfortunately
1:09
the last 40 miles or so was more of a survival but got it done got to get that
1:16
top ten first American first second old guy second old guy oh okay and tell us
1:26
about your 005 you've ran Hard Rock in them is that the same pair or is that a
1:30
new pair? These are the newest pair I wear these at TDS
1:37
okay and these are for Americans under 8 ounces everybody else under 220 grams in
1:45
my size it is incredible it has a midsole that is absolutely magic that
1:51
does a energy return that almost no other midsole in the world can do and of course on the bottom we have the Vibram
1:59
Mega Grip Elite the most innovative newest best grippy outsole in the world
2:06
so how did the grip perform they're not super deep lugs and they're they're
2:10
spaced okay four millimeter lug this shoe is all about light so this is just
2:17
enough to get everything done TDS is the most technical difficult course of the 4 or 5 race
2:24
right size PTL yeah and this I never had any problems with it and it was solid it
2:31
was stable it was fantastic four foot protection and is there some flex after
2:35
a hundred and something 60 40 kilometers flats what do you mean flex flex yes
2:41
this shoe is being this light yeah and having this much rebound the shoe is
2:48
very having ground feel yeah but still enough stack height that it protects my
2:54
feet from the stones this shoe is I've been this is the 8th prototype okay we
3:01
just announced it here in Chamonix the last couple days we have another video
3:06
on the channel with Nick Martyr the founder so well I'll link that one here
3:11
yeah but this shoe is the most incredible yes a very thin supportive
3:17
yes it is Dyneema strongest material in the world yeah it is also if you're a big
3:23
Norda fan the difference between this and the 001 and 002 is this is a more
3:28
breathable drainable so therefore the water comes in and out quickly and also
3:34
when it's a hot run like it was in the afternoon and like it is going to be for
3:38
CCC and UTMB and OCC this breeze yeah it's fantastic and let's look at that
3:44
outsole wear because I don't see any really yeah very little went through the
3:50
