yeah, they held up well, had a hotspot under my left big toe on the ball of the foot , think it needs taping. but two small toes taped with bezoine then doused in sudocrem and some ptfe powder in my injinjis kept any signs of blisters away otherwise. I'm being mindful of trying to walk on grass where paved if poss and switching the side of the pavement i walk on regularly to stop the camber putting too much pressure on one particular side.
was going to buy another pair of roclites last night so i had a pair to switch out every few hours but they sold out in my size (shame for £45 they were a steal). after 21 miles yesterday i think a shoe change would have been amazing.
I think I need to drink more water during my laps though. have been carrying a regular 500ml plastic bottle in my salomon vest as my softflasks got loaned out and they let them get all mouldy so planning on buying two more before the race. my legs feel fine today albeit slightly sore but i think the lack of water/electrolytes may have sped up their deterioration in the final 2 miles.
