Sorry to hear about your bad experience with broken Nordic Walking poles. My guess is that the poles were twist-locking type poles. One-piece poles are safer, lighter and much more durable than cheap twist-lock and flip-lock adjustable length/telescoping/collapsible poles. Cheap Twist-locks and Flip-locks rattle, vibrate and sometimes collapse unexpectedly. They do not hold up to aggressive use - especially Nordic Walking, Ski Walking and Hill Bounding. One-piece poles from The American Nordic Walking System and WWW.SKIWALKING.COM come in 14 different sizes, come with a perfect length guarantee, a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a life-time breakage guarantee. Perfect length poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back - better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout - burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking. Hopefully more Americans will discover the benefits of walking with a walking stick and/or walking poles soon. Nice post about walking sticks and poles!

I am the City trail planner, and we are working to expand the system significantly city-wide, so that map should be updated every 6 months or so with a new section.

Pretty great that you can run 26 miles and still be willing to spend some time enjoying the beautiful day Saturday. I'm glad it stayed pretty Saturday for the race!
