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.

A couple of months ago, a customer suggested that we check out Michael Finney’s Friday Free Stuff, a weekly TV and radio spot on KGO, our local ABC affiliate. So, we called them up and sent them samples of a couple of products, then settled on Java Juice. Yesterday at 5:25pm, Michael Finney showed the Java Juice packets and said people could get 2 free packets if they visited a page on our web site. They even showed a ZombieRunner logo - first time on TV!
