Primal Quest
reporting presented by Inov-8

Ken Meyer of team Nike ACG/GORE-TEX told me that before Primal Quest Montana, he'd never used duct tape on his feet. Much to his surprise, he's had to use it for most of this race.

In this shot, support crewman Beau Johnson applies the miracle tape to Ken's left foot. So shiny and smooth, it kinda looks like a foot from the comic book character in that Silver Surfer movie that came out a while back.

Beau said, rather flatly, that Ken has Tenosynovitis, which is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath that surrounds a tendon. Nah, don't be impressed. I had to look it up. Beau used a lot of big words while I was watching him tape up Ken's feet. Thank goodness for online dictionaries and encyclopedias.
