The final day of OR. After the items were removed, I asked Peter Marksimow @petermarksimow, an Inov8 athlete I met at the venue last year, to take some photos, and he kindly agreed.

Near where I was taking photos, I heard that a running shop called Berkeley Park Running Company (@bprunco) was holding a reception for the Hard Rock Endurance Race 100 mile, the most prestigious trail running race in the United States, so I went to take a look.

Many people were at the venue listening to the Altra Ambassadors speak.

After the event ended, we were chatting among the people involved when the store owner said, "This headlamp is really nice, so everyone should check it out!"

The owner, Chris, is always smiling and funny. He was very happy when I gave him an original milestone cap.

Oh my goodness, Jason Schlarb@jasonschlarb and his girlfriend Mere June@merejune

He was very interested in the MS-F1: Trailmaster and told me that he wanted to wear it and run in the UTMB next month... I was so grateful for that, so I gave him a sample that I had with me.

We promised to meet again in Chamonix.

America never knows what's going to happen. Is this even possible?

Finally, Chris said, "Okay, let's carry milestone products!" It seems milestone's arrival in the US is just around the corner!

Stay Tuned…
