Nice Feet!

In June I helped on the medical team of the Raid the North Extreme Adventure Race. It was held in the wilds of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Much of the race took place on the Queen Charlotte Islands off the coast (by a nice 7 hour ferry ride) of Prince Rupert.
    There were 23 teams of four athletes each. The disciplines included kayak paddling, trekking, and mountain biking.
Dscf0725_1     The picture I am sharing here is of one of the women racers, on day three. I want you to appreciate how good her feet look – red toenail polish and all. Her skin looks great. Her toes look great. Her heels looked great. I don’t recall hearing any complaints about her feet.
     In the picture, she is applying some lubricant to her feet before changing socks. The team had just come off a long kayak section. There were more than two full days left in the race.
     The purpose of showing you her feet (Ok, I know it is only one foot, but the other one looks just as good!), is to show you that you can be an extreme athlete and have nice feet.

john !
yeh the feet look quite nice and pretty interesting that she is an athlete

Of course you can be an extreme athlete and have nice feet. But to have untended feet only less care is effectual - there is is no need to do an outstanding effort ;-)
