Elephant Bark Huaraches: Big Tujunga 20 Miler Test Run

Big Tujunga Valley with Condor Peak in Background

Hot Rough Pavement

Took my Elephant Bark Huaraches for a midday HOT ASPHALT run.

Rubber is NOT an good insulator. It will get hot, and one must be aware of that.

In most trail situations, it is not a problem, but it could be on an open stretch of black asphalt in the middle of a sunny day.

So, I decided to see what would happen.

I will get into details later, but the most important thing to say is that I made it through 20 miles without any serious difficulties.
