In reply to Removed User:
Don't have "lucky" socks, but do have "unlucky" socks. Bought a pair of quite expensive Salomon lightweight ones as my road race socks last year, and the first 3 times I wore them I had terrible races.
Absolutely nothing to do with the socks I know, there were other reasons for each bad run, but I daren't wear them again for a race, "just in case"
