<p>Ok, since we don't have sticky threads let's keep this love alive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please post your question. Lurkers, come on, out yourself. The stupider the betterer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We want to help, but you have to come out the closet to help us help you.  We're bored and the site needs some new blood - that's you! <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello.gif" style="width:25px;height:29px;" title=""></p>

<p>So, but the previous posts, I'm going to surmise that Adam does not have a foot fetish?</p>

<p>Stupid question - My LOOK cleats came with removable cleat protectors.  My initial reaction was "oh cool, these cleats are expensive and ridiculously delicate."  But then I thought "when would I actually use them?"  And eventually I thought "stupidest thing I've seen in at least 11 months, maybe longer."  But then I thought "maybe I'm the stupid one here, and other folks really use them to good effect."  Then I thought "but what...they lug them around in their jersey pockets with their gels, tubes, cell phone, and knee warmers??"  Then I thought "I'll ask my KickRunners buddies."  Then I thought "no, I might look stupid."  But now we have a Stupid Thread!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So...cleat protectors.  Yay?  Nay?  Eh?</p>

From what I'm hearing, it's a moot point, as your Plantar Fasciitis will be so inflamed by then that you won't be running anyway.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[mrscoby78]

<p>My guess would be that if'n you were gonna bike to the store, you'd put them on, then walk around in the store, then bike home?<br><br>

<p>Maybe get a lightweight racing flat for races?<br>
 </p>

 

[em73]

<p>Matt, if I get PF, I'm blaming you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hobey, I might try that.  My problem is that I need a shoe with a zero height difference between the heel and the forefoot, and that's hard to find.  </p>

 

[juliemboyle]

<p>Em:  I would just not care about the transition time......................I mean really who cares?</p>

 

[Stitcher]

<p>Cleat protectors....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We had riders on our tour last May who used them when we had lunch stops at local restaraunts.</p>
<p>Or, as someone said, if you use them for commuting.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[niemsco]

<p>I have LOOK KeO cleats with grip protectors which makes anything like a cover a moot point, you can run on concrete or floors to your hearts desire even with Carbon sole shoes.  Though you need KeO pedals.    So like you I use to have LOOK pedals, and cleats and I scrapped all that for a better system, as I would never use covers.</p>

Oh!  I think I do have the Keo's.  What is this grip protector you speak of?  Link?  Seriously, that could probably chop 20 seconds off my transition times!</p>

<p>Hi all <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif" style="width:25px;height:15px;" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm mainly a lurker, but I've posted in here a while back.  I'm psyched to see this thread because something came up at the pool today and I have to know if this is normal:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There was a guy swimming laps with a snorkle.  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/huh.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is that something people do?  I had no idea. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>em - what about the nike free 5.0?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>I'll throw out a stupid question!  I sleep on a heated mattress pad all year.  Summer, winter...it doesn't matter.  In the summer the heater is on 1 or 2.  In the winter the heater is on full force 5...and I turn it on hours in advance so my bed is a raging inferno by the time I get in it.  Can this cause me to get dehydrated during the night? </p>

Hi!  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wave.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is not abnormal for folks to swim with a snorkel.  It can help you focus on your pull.  Coach brought them out at masters one time.  Gotta say, it was hard to NOT turn my head to breathe!  She uses a snorkel often, but her pool workouts can get up to 10,000y and beyond (she's training for the EC and other OWS).</p>
