Great Support For Jamie Donaldson and Drymax

Jamie Donaldson Will Be Geared Up In Drymax For 2009

There has been a wonderful swell of support for Drymax Athlete Jamie Donaldson’s decision to race exclusively for Drymax in 2009. Her are a few reactions about Jamie Donaldson’s Drymax Announcement from her own blog: http://altitudeultrarunner.blogspot.com/

“I can attest to all the great things you said about these socks as well. Furthermore, I will go as far as to say Drymax will single-handedly change the Badwater race experience in coming years as more people switch to wearing them. If you watch movies like 'The Distance of Truth' or 'Running on the Sun', they spend lots of time showing some pretty graphic blister montages...I just sit there on my couch and yell "Shoulda worn Drymax!" - Dan Rose

“Ever since I heard about your success with the DryMax Max Protection socks, I quickly ordered four pairs and haven't looked back since. My feet were plagued with blisters and now I'm going on 6-months of blister free running thanks to you and these socks. Not to mention that I've built up a nice inventory of them too.” - Brenda

“While doing some research for my Umstead race in April, I eventually stumbled onto your youtube video of your Umstead win, which eventually led me to the video that Drymax did of your 2008 Badwater win. 135 miles, no blisters" had me sold, and I have been wearing the maximum protection socks since. I echo everything you have said about the socks and the company” - Jimbo

“Congrats Jamie! I love my Drymax socks. I would have never tried them if it was not for you. Good luck at RR 100.” - Joy

“You definitely are a great ambassador for the Drymax socks (your rave reviews got me to try them and the great product they are has kept me hooked” - Tammy

“Congratulations! and thanks for sharing your experience: drymax is the only kind of socks that leaves me without blisters on the runs over 2 hours…” - Tatiana

“ I second everything you have to say about Drymax Socks. For years I suffered from blister issues in nearly all of my long distance races. Although hesitant at first to give up on my Injinji Socks, once I started using Drymax, it was a no brainer. Bob MacGillivray is fantastic - always looking for input from runners at all levels in an effort to make Drymax Socks even better.” - Anthony Portera

“I should have worn Drymax socks and maybe I wouldnt have had 40 blisters at the HURT last weekend?? I have never had such thrashed feet. I wore Injini socks and had problems from the get go. I think I will give them a shot.” - Evan

We are excited that Jamie will be competing in next week's Rocky Raccoon 100 Mile race in Texas, her first as a 100% Drymax Athlete. We wish her the best as well as everyone who will be participating in this tremendously difficult event.
