– Yes, it always a little speech was at least in larger competitions. Especially if not the right size threads found. In fact, I think that they go what is. It just can’t anything. The kind of whining and stuff, I pondered that but add the stress of competition. Better to just let those things be, which nothing can.

for Example, the rate of species athletes need race vaatteiltaan fit, but long distance athletes have different needs.

– I species my clothing is relevant, because the performance lasts a long time, almost four hours. The fact that they are sitting and they don’t chafe, is a pretty significant thing. You could say even that it’s performance is affected, if there is a really bad setup. I like this equipment agreement yes is a good thing so the covenant as athletes, walker Aku Partanen thank you.
