On the mens side, on August 27, Americans Abdi Abdirahman finished seventh (27:56) while Dathan Ritzenhein finished ninth in 28:28, and Galen Rupp finished 11th in 28:41.It went OK until five laps to go. I wasnt hurting but I started getting replica A Lange & Sohne 115.029 Men's watch blisters on my heels, Abdirahman told USATF. The highly anticipated final of the mens 1,500 meters, in which Americans Alan Webb and Bernard Lagat are among the favorites, is August 29. Webb has run the fastest time of the year among any of the finalists, but the competition will be fierce. -Justin Nyberg
By Stephen RegenoldIts design comes via inspiration from a bottle madealmost 80 years ago. But in hand, the new SIGG Retro Heritage bottle, availablenext month for $24.99, is strangely similar to aluminum water bottles madetoday.Indeed, save for its replica A Lange & Sohne 115.026 Men's watch ribbed exterior and an old-fashionedcap, the Retro Heritage acts like a common one-liter aluminum bottle. It usesthe same water-based, non-toxic liner as other bottles in the SIGGline, and the cap screws on and off with plastic threads when you need a drink. But the bottle looks cool.
And theres a story behind theHeritage model: The company designed it to resemble avintageSIGGbottle from 1930. It was made to commemorate the 100thanniversary ofthe company, which was founded in 1908 when Ferdinand Siggestablished a factory near Zurich and began selling his SIGG AGAluminiumwarenfabrik replica A Lange & Sohne 101.021 Men's watch line of saucepans, frying pans, and bottles.Today, you can get a SIGG bottle that glows in the dark.Some have skulls, or smiley faces, or Hello Kitty cartoons. The Retro HeritageBottle, though pricey at $25, is an appreciable retreat to a Swissaesthetic of function and utility. Ferdinand Sigg might be proud.--Stephen Regenold writes a daily blog on outdoors gearat .
