I saw that someone ran the trials in a pair of Altra Torin's…. Not a bad shoe and I have actually ran a marathon in a pair of Torin's before but it isn't a fast shoe at all. There just seems to be much better options out there for someone that's obviously a fast marathoner.
what was Molly wearing?
Atreyu ???
looks Huddle had some type of Kinvara ?!?
Surprising that two people ran in the Altra Vanish R. I've run up to 14 miles in those. If you are not used to them it can feel like you are almost running barefoot.
Huddle was wearing the Asics Metaracer.
Shout out to my fellow Kinvara wearers. All three of them.
The fascinating thing is that the women really did take advantage of the Alphafly offer -- almost twice as many as the men.
So were most of the top women locked out by their non-Nike sponsorship?
Did most men already have Next%s and didn't fancy a race-day switch?

That's Hall. Huddle is a Saucony athlete.

Actually the ratios look about the same, just far fewer men than women made 21 miles.

I've done a marathon in the Solstice which is a lot like the Vanish with a couple of extra mm of stack and had no problems.

Something is wrong in colors. She used to compete in A8 and do training Kinvara but this doesn't look like any shoe that I have seen. She wore that same shoe also in Houston.
What no Nike hi-tops on the preggies? wrote:
Atreyu ???
A start up out of Austin. Their pre-orders started a week or two ago with the first shipment slated to happen 1st of July.
Straight forward EVA outsole/midsole, light single mesh upper, and around 6oz.
I'm surprised someone raced in the Ultraboost. I have a pair for walking around but I can't imagine running fast in them.
I was also surprised that no one had Skechers.

I can't see in the trials pictures, but she has worn a Fastwitch upper on a Type A platform.
This guy wins hands down. Best shoe disguise ever. If I had to wear Diadora shoes I'd blow snot rockets on them too.
Brilliant!

Looks like a Freedom upper
Huddle wears a mashup that's been available for a while (women only, I think). Pretty sure she's now in a prototype of version 2 of it.
