March Club Race Report .:. .:.

Waking up to thunder on the morning of a triathlon never can mean well for the turn out.  So it wasn’t too surprising that of the 140 who signed up to participate in the March club race, only about 30 ended up coming out to Fiesta Island for what looked like a dreadful morning.  However, for those who did the day turned out to be a real treat.

TCSD Member Story - Tsuyoshi Yoshino .:. .:.

Marathoner is no shoo-in to buy the latest shoes

By Don Norcross
Copley News Service

Reflecting his Japanese culture, Tsuyoshi Yoshino politely asks you to remove your shoes upon entering his San Diego home. If the aspiring running coach has his way, you'll also take off your thick-soled running shoes for some of your workouts.

A former 2:43 marathoner, at Boston no less, Yoshino prefers to run with nothing between his feet and the pavement.

"It just feels natural," he said.

Yoshino, 33, first sampled barefoot running on July 28, 2005, the day before his birthday. Having read literature on the subject, "it just all made sense," he said.

Baring Their Soles:
Pain Doesn't Defeat
Unshod Marathoners

Last month, after returning from an eight-mile run, Tsuyoshi Yoshino heated up a three-inch sewing needle until it turned bright red. Then, he says, he plunged the glowing instrument into the ball of his foot, puncturing a three-inch-long blister.

Despite the risk of infection, he walked around his San Diego house for 20 minutes on the open wound to get used to the pain. "It's not something I like doing," he says. "But I have to."

While other marathoners train by carbo-loading, Mr. Yoshino has a more painful regimen. The 32-year-old graduate student at San Diego State University is one of a growing cadre of formerly shod distance runners making a torturous transition to running barefoot in the hope of improving their times and strengthening their soles. Blisters are an inevitable part of the journey. Mr. Yoshino estimates he's popped about 40 of them in the past 18 months. (See "Running Shoeless May Be Better," June 6)
