Fenix Flashlights and SaltStick Caps at the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Miler – they were superb!

I ran the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Miler last weekend, and used (for the first time) Fenix flashlights. I used the L1P for the first 30 minutes or so, until the sun came up. At 50 miles, I added the L2P holster to my the bottle pack belt. I was using Energizer lithium AA batteries and got over 6 hours of burn time with the L2P. (I switched to the L1P for the last couple of hours before sunrise.)
They’re terrific lights – incredibly lightweight, and very bright. I love the holsters too, which make for very convenient access. It’s nice to stick the flashlight in the holster when you come to an aid station. Highly recommended.
I also used the new SaltStick Electrolyte Caps for the entire run, and they worked flawlessly. They’re quickly becoming a very popular product.
