MYO RXP is perfect for ultrarunning

Petzl has supported the La Sportiva Mountain Running® Team since 2008. Their partnership helps equip the team with the tools they need for hitting the trails in all conditions and hours of the night. They decked the team out with the MYO RXP this year. The MYO RXP is light weight, comfortable to wear and fully programmable, it gives each runner the option to adjust their light intensity as they see fit. Pretty simple to do too. The new 3-WATT LED technology mixed with new circuitry gives it a long running time on 3-AA batteries. If you go with Zinc batteries, it should run all night (for a couple of nights) with full light intensity. And now, they are 30% brighter than last year’s models!

Transrockies Round-Up

By: Caitlin Smith

I arrived in Colorado on Friday and headed down to Buena Vista on Saturday. As Devon Crosby-Helms and I received our swag (or the beginning of it) and pick up our race numbers, we got frequent questions about whether we would give Kami Semick and Nikki Kimball a challenge. We explained we were there to run, challenge ourselves, and ultimately have fun. Both Devon and I knew we could not control how other teams ran, all we could do was run our best and keep ourselves together as a team. In the weeks leading up to Transrockies Devon and I had made it clear that we needed to communicate during each of the stages as well as not take things personally while we were racing. This was key to our overall experience and
