Greetings!
One SERIES down, two to go. Yes two more Series
brought to you by Fleet Feet. But first we must
commend everyone who joined us this winter for the
first Fleet Feet Snow Cheap Winter Trail Series. This
6 night Wednesday evening series definitely brought a
differing challenge each race. We had snow, we had
cold we had dark and this past week was no different
but with ice. Just picture over 100 adults going down
a hill as if it was a huge children's ice slide. Yes, on
our bum's, over 100 adults sprung down the hill like
spring chickens or be it winter chickens. Last
Wednesday, I requested for the race to be a
culmination of every race, hence like a final exam.
Greg, our Timing Director, did not disappoint. The
course brought on hills, flats, icy downhills and an icy
grove which made for laughter and playfulness. Post
race was a huge party with a big sheet cake.
Foodlink came with amazing food prepared by
Freshwise. They even brought their mascot -
Cool Can - who helped start the race and
cheer on the runners (see picture). Many thanks to
Foodlink and Freshwise for the delicious chili and
homemade corn bread. We crowned the Winter
Warriors - Heather Danielson and Mark
McArdle. We awarded the Series winners -
Laura Church and Travis Earley for
the snowshoe category and Holly Kuzmiak
and Kurt Spaker for the non snowshoe
catgory. Annette Schaffe was the lucky winner
of a pair of Crescent Moon Snowshoes. But everyone
should be commended for joining in this winter
funfest - Snow Cheap.
So it is without further ado to announce the comeback
of the Fleet Feet Dirt
Cheap Series presented by Salomon which
starts April 15th in Mendon Ponds Park. Its a 6 night
trail race series in various Monroe County Parks. Information and
Registration available here. Series entry is just
$40 for all 6 races.
Our next "Series"
adventure is the brand new "Fleet Feet Beach
Cheap Aquathlon Series" with help from the City
of Rochester. This series is for multisport
enthusiasts or swimmers/runners looking for
something different. We are offering three Beach
Cheaps from June through August. These will be on
Thursday Nights at Durand Eastman and yes we are
swimming in Lake Ontario. You can find
more info at Boots Blogs. Registration info will be
up shortly, but do plan for these cheap adventures.
Be FIT, Boots and Ellen

The Ultimate Calf/Shin Protector |
|
The ultimate Calf/Shin Sleeve by Zensah is
available at Fleet Feet Sports. The Calf/Shin
Sleeve provides dual action support with targeted
support to the calves, and shins. Can be used as a
running or compression sleeve which increases
oxygen blood flood to the lower part of the
body.
Its a concept used by the medical world
for years, where the compression to the lower leg
helps blod flow and circulation. Wear it on planes
while traveling, running or walking, if you have a calf
injury, as a recovery tool after workouts or simply if you
stand all day on your job.
We swear by this
Zensah Sleeve. It is now available in black, white and
fun colors such as pink, orange, yellow or beige. This
is a must have for anyone. You will see the benefits
immediately.
