Holy cow...if you haven't seen this video, be sure to prepare yourself before clicking PLAY. It is easily the craziest toe blister I have ever seen!
Thanks to Craig Thornley for the footage, captured at the 2007 Javelina Jundred. I will have nightmares tonight for sure. ;-)

Geeeez. Where did the toenail go? Don't tell me he kept running...
ReplyDeleteDamn you, Scott. Always nice to dry heave a few times before bed.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the mood for some grapes right now.
ReplyDeleteNice. Thanks for sharing that little, uhhh, big gem!
ReplyDeleteAfter the North Face race this past Saturday, I was getting a chiropractic adjustment by the good students of Palmer College of Chiropractic, who set up a station there to work on runners. A woman came by to have a blood blister on one of her toes worked on, and it was nearly as big as the blister in the video. A few minutes later, they had her on a table, and virtually all the students were gathered around watching the clinical doc take care of it. It was the talk of the tent!
The commentary by "Roscoe" is freaking hilarious!
ReplyDeletesweet jesus that looked painful. quick, someone get that man some Drymax socks!
ReplyDeleteThis was about 8 hours after I finished. It got nice and big as I slept. It wasn't an issue during the race.
ReplyDeleteGZ, the commentary by Bob is definitely the best part of the video. And we had just met him at the race.
I remember that little gem. As soon as it was posted online, it went all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI still chuckle every time I hear anyone remotely saying the words "That's what I'm talking about!"
That's crazy. The commentary made it 10 times funnier.
ReplyDeleteWow, man...like this is going to be on the Discovery Channel, man! That guy is great!
ReplyDeleteIf this isn't an advertisement for Injinji Toe Socks, I don't know what is!
ReplyDeleteWell, that was interesting but where were their gloves? that's the yuck part, no gloves. :)
ReplyDeleteyea, I thought it was hilarious...except for the lack of gloves. What a lovely sensation to imagine, someone else's blister goop getting all over your fingers :S
