Black Diamond QuickDraw Carbon Probe 230
This probe was designed for those who are concerned with saving weight but not at the expense of length. Black Diamond QuickDraw Carbon Fiber Probe 230 has the highest length-to-weight ratio of all BD probes and was created for use in snowpacks of medium depth. The carbon fiber sections are marked every five centimeters for quick and accurate depth measurement, and each section is used as part of the probe for maximum length. This year Black Diamond has increased the diameter of the Carbon Fiber Probe sections to 13 mm and incorporated chamfered metal tube-insert connectors for a stiffer, more durable probe. Like all BD probes in 2003, Black Diamond has included a clip on the QuickDraw cable pull-loop so the cable can be clipped to the probe and won't swing around while in use.

Training Tips
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
