| DARTvg: | It's all about the skate ski poles on the uphills. If you dont have any you can borrow mine for practice and your race. |

| roschi: | thanks! I need to check out what poles you have, I want to get my own since they ll take a beating for sure, but if you have any suggestions on type and technique, that ll be helpful.. were you one of the poor suckers that had to do the X-adventure leg with the 2000ft gain? |

| DARTvg: | Yep, we actually crushed that leg...the poles will pay big dividends. I have pair of Swix brand poles with the carbon pointed tips. I leave the pointy tips on instead of putting cork or rubber stoppers on because I could usually push off better on concrete with the pointy tips. |
