Get back at the cactus, eat the red fruit when they bloom On the prickly pear cactus, really good. Not the skin, inside, be careful the stuff stains. I carry a pocket knife just for them. Mike
Is this stuff still going on? like needle service at the pits & combs around the neck or was that the good old days? I know there is all kinds of cacti out there but was it worse years ago or havs everyone learned to handle it better?
good old days of Oct09 AMA Nat Enduro Wickenburg Az. was my experience with checkpoint needle pickers and Afro combs. As well as unexpected super hi temps in the hi 90s that ruined me into a near heat stroke DNF before the last loop. (I hate quitting, but this one was a real health concern)
I stuck a long comb in each boot...with a string tied to it hanging out of my boot....cholla jumped on me...boom fling it off and keep going....Casey with BITD was cruel in some races running you right thru huge Cholla fields...
