I hear you. I hate cold wet feet.  

How does Scooby-Doo handle the creeks? Does he love it as much as you! 

Cold stream water 😱 that's my personal "nope" point lol. I'll do almost anything to avoid getting my feet wet on a run/hike  

yeah definitely wouldn't recommend 🤣 but I'd rather potentially get blisters now and not have torn up feet on mile 9 of 13+ at my killington race. It took some testing to select a thin merino wool sock plus a thin sock liner and shoe combo to allow them to drain and my feet to dry back out. the spartan course designers are notorious for being mean with their obstacle placement they make you wet or muddy right in the beginning and then do it again repeatly right before you need clean hands for grip obstacles... jerks lol 

beautiful!!! i need to do this... OR. i take water shoes for my trail challenge and waste time with a shoe change.... hm 

Redporchlady scooby is funny he can't swim .. sinks like a rock we found that out as a puppy he ran and jumped off a rock into a lake on a hike and I had to go drag him out. When we take him out on the boat with us he wears a life jacket 🤣. But he loves the water so streams and the edges of lakes he has no problem wading into to drink from. In the summer when it's hot we stop at every stream crossing and he literally lays in the stream to cool his body off while he drinks sometimes he will lay there for a few minutes half submerged before he decides its time to go again 🤣 

kaylinrenee haha idk about switching lol that sounds even more miserable. you probably don't need to go to this extreme for a regular trail race at least not regularly but I would absolutely test out your shoe and sock choice when wet and If you go for a trail run I wouldn't avoid every puddle because I'm sure some of them will be unavoidable during your race and getting used to that will definitely help. whatever you do dont get waterproof trail shoes you want the water to be able to drian out and not be trapped inside and the sock choice is really important.  

Curious, does scooby have water draining shoes too😂. To go with his life jacket🥰. My golden retriever who doesnt mind walking in water refuses to swim. Have you ever heard of such blasphemy! 

Ooooooo on the cold wet feet. Brrrrr I shivered looking at this. I’d need divers gear. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 

nice! 

Yearofhealth2023 haha no doggie shoes he would rip them off in seconds 🤣 I still cant believe he can't swim he can run forever  

wifey9707 lol one of these days I'll fully embrace the suck and lay in the stream to get the full spartan wet clothes and wet shoes experience but I definitely was not doing that yesterday! 

otb part of the trail crosses through a creek with no bridge hahahahaha  

Kaylinrenee haha in that case what r u waiting for then lol go give it a shot  

maybe I'll just bring my bikini and swim across. or have a kayaker waiting. options... wait how funny would it be if i arranged boat service for the participants lmao 

Man you are a beast! I walked 5 miles and my legs were mush afterwards…7 miles?! Yikes! I’m in awe! 

kaylinrenee you may have better luck than me but last time I wore my bikini for a race water crossing it wasn't well received 😅 I think your onto something with this business idea to charge participants to get them across but how about build a portable bridge like a floating dock and charge everyone that runs across it you could bring it to every race In The area  

Diana 1234 thanks 😊 I just want to be done cutting so increase my running volume with less chance of injuries been trying to hike and walk with less running for now  

Nice place, Good adventure, getting ready with your friend :)  

ObeseToBeast123, You know I have vision problems and pardon me if I'm seeing things but... what is up with your shoes 👟😨? Are they fuzzy?
