Hey I should try that in an ultra.

Good thinking, Perfesser. Ultrarunners just don't convey the appropriate level of goofiness with multiple handhelds, hydration packs, calf sleeves, arm panties, Badwater style sun hats, bandana wrapped necks, toe socks, and barely-there shoes because they need to "feel" 62 miles of rocks, even if it adds 5 hours to their time.

It might shave 0.23 seconds off your time; you don't know until you try it.

It seems like it's on backwards. Or the wrong part the body...
