While in San Jose I was finally able to meet Valerie Weilert, and see her first round prototype of the spike she has been working on! Hearing her logic behind the spike's design and getting an insight into the process of producing one was extremely interesting, and we were also able to get a run on the trails in together. (Valerie was also the overall women's winner of the SV trot, in 18:36!)
