Note
I ordered a new pair (my fourth) of X-talon 212s and a pair of Oroc 280s from Amazon. I'm not sure if the Orocs will get here by Boulderdash, but I will have them for the Relay champs. My two existing pairs of X-talons have taken considerable beating, and while viable for racing, they haven't much life left in them.
The choice of a shoe is a personal decision; an individual should race in a shoe they like. I haven't sampled many O-shoes, but I do like the merits and feel of the X-talons. I'm hoping the Orocs will be X-talons with improved traction. While it is a personal choice, I am pleased to see X-talons on a number of world elites; it suggests to me that there aren't shoes vastly superior to the X-talons in the qualities it features. It is true that I have seen X-talons primarily in urban sprint contexts.
Also, aw. Almost as endearing as Kseniya?
From another current discussion on AP, one of my favorite races over the past few years - the US Classic Champs in 2009 in Wisconsin - had a gorgeous venue with excellent orienteering.
