Mountain Toptober.

[marathondan]

Nothing so dramatic here, although my marathon-running sister-in-law insisted that I purchase some compression skins, of which she is a great fan. I am seriously considering them for the P2P (for which she touchingly insists they are "essential").

What do people here think? Worth the not-inconsiderable investment?
Will they be too hot in anything other than the depths of an Aussie winter?



And do I really want to look like ... this?

I think that if you borrow Sweder's Vibrams as well, that would qualify as a fancy dress costume.

You may want to look like that, but the reality is that this geezer has the physique to carry off such an outfit (and pose); sadly none of us here does!

Personally I would put the money into the post race hydration fund instead!
