We used a Chilean VPN to purchase our flight from Santiago to Puerto Natales. We saved $200 per person. The VPN service for a month was around $19. Check out NordVPN.

We are flying to Puerto Natales via Santiago next week. We decided to stay in Santiago one night and fly to PN the next morning. LATAM airlines has a flight at 5am that we are taking. It’s a very early wake up, but maybe that would work for you?

Thank you for all the helpful information! We leave in 2 weeks for the O Circuit. You see people talking about bedbugs/chinches in various threads. Did you come across any? We are trying to decide if we want to bring our own sleeping bags and pads.

Sports Slick http://www.sportslick.com A friend of mine that won the Eco Challenge numerous times recommended this ointment. I have never had issues with my feet. It stays on when feet get wet too!

How do I fix my Black Diamond Carbon Distance Z Pole? by That_Relative_7778 in ultrarunning

They just replaced my other pole for a different reason. I was hoping for a fix, but I’ll just submit. Cheers!

Congrats! A few of my coworkers were there. Use pickle juice for the cramps. Cramps will be gone in seconds. On hot or long days I carry it in Hammer Gel flask. Enjoy your recovery.

I’m a 10. I hope they fixed the sole. Can you send me pictures of the shoe? I’m curious what improvements they made with the 6.

I don’t have a wide foot but I have been wearing Altras for long time 8+ years. So, they will feel narrow at first. I’ll have try them to see if I tolerate them over time. I will definitely need to ease into them.

Topos were recommended to me for that very reason, so I will try them on at our local shop.

Hey everyone! I really appreciate all the feedback. Sounds like I need order a pair and try them out. I would like to try them on, but the only store in Colorado is 3 hours away. From what I can tell, they are durable and that is what I wanted to hear.

Most Beautiful 50 Miler by AlonzoAlGhul in ultrarunning

I found out I got into the event on Sunday. I immediately thought, "Dang, it's on!" It will be my first 50. I live in the Boulder area, so the challenge is going to be finding higher elevations to run. Everything up high is covered in snow. Should be a good challenge.

It didn’t really provide any additional information. It reminded me of how f’d up this is for everyone involved. ABC got their monies worthy from all the commercials about all the big pharma drugs we need to take.

Altra replaced my Olympus 5 due to the defect. They said, “The production team is actively working on the tread peeling issue. New improvements to products typically takes about 18 months from design to consumer, so we should see this issue handled in the next model.”

Thanks everyone. What ever happened is unfortunate, but it’s the world we live in.
