Hehe. These tips are good, but in conditions of our cold we need to put more clothes, I think. However, I saw local marathoneers running in -50C and they didn’t have much layers, almost the same. However, they preferred to wear hat as well
If I would have a chance, I’ll try to take pictures of those runners.
Yesterday, on Nov. 1, I wanted to participate in the local GPS orienting, but failed. At the last moment, I couldn’t find my fur boots. They were left in a wardrobe at work the last spring. “Damn,” I said. Without extra warm boots I couldn’t bring myself to stay outdoor the whole day, when the temperature was frozen at minus 20 degrees centigrade.
Well, I missed the event. My wish to take pictures of frozen competitors was great. I do regret, but not so much. My colleague Ekaterina, who managed to compete as a trekker, promised me to bring photographs tomorrow and share them with the rest of the world. So, rejoice.
Meanwhile, check out how trekkers can look like, when it is extremely cold. Here we go!

That's Katerina. She was trekking along the hills around Yakutsk at -30C. Nov 16, 2008.
