They use silly gaiters that don't work, and have huge problems with sores. Sandals at least drain sand by themselves. With enough practice to get your feet toughened up and ready for the abrasive sand, I'm sure sandals would be preferable for at least the sandy sections. Joseph |

There was an article in Sports Illustrated a bunch of years ago about a runner who ran a deer to ground. The deer would bolt and then stop when it thought it was out of range, wait until the runner got too close, then take off again. The runner had an advantage in being able to read the terrain better and would take a more efficient route which helped offset the speed imbalance. Eventually endurance won out over fleetness of foot, and the runner was able to walk up to the exhausted deer and touch it, symbolizing a kill. I think that's how the Grand Tours should be run. > The men have a game of kick-ball, which they call rarapěpama, or > carrera de bola, where they kick and chase a small wooden ball over hill and > dale for up to three days straight, and covering 120 miles. This competition > is generally between two or more communities. North American Native Americans in the Northeast played baggataway, which evolved (devolved) into lacrosse. The original game would go on for days, have several hundred players per side, goals that were miles apart, deaths were not uncommon and the game was a preparation, or avoidance of, war. I think that's how the Grand Tours should be run. If the Lanterne Rouge was killed each day, and nobody could DNS or DNF, I think the riding speed would pick up quite a bit. See? No need for dope at all! Think of it as Cy-culling.  R |
