Master  6834      Englewood, Florida |  Subject: RE: Manatees - 2018 Edition Now CLOSEDOriginally posted by nrpoulin Running shorts. Any of the guys out there run in tracksmith shorts? Despite my usually system of glide and running with extra Vaseline I got a good chaffing doing on my 2nd marathon last month. Used the same system as my first marathon when I had no problems (or minimal). For these races I ran in Nike distance shorts. Looking to try something different. Any other recommendations? TY Nate Every run of any distance has been done in Nike Dri-Fit shorts without any glide. I haven't gone further than 13.1 miles. They have been great for me, so much so that I will search out the very brand/model when buying new. I'm on pair #4. I'm not sure on the model (Challenger or Distance) but I know them when I see them on the clearance rack at the outlet mall. |

Nate Nice! I'm planning on the fall White Lake Oly. I've been looking for an excuse/race to try to meet some of the southern manatee contingent. Sadly, most of the races you guys are signed up for conflict with my own race schedule. White Lake is the same weekend as LP 70.3. |

Master 8249 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2018 Edition Now CLOSED Detest jellyfish. Before IM Vietnam 70.3 in 2016, some guy was saying that we should keep our mouths closed on the swim to avoid being stung in the mouth! There was a swarm of baby jellyfish and they just made us go through them. Quite a few people (including me) walked the first 150-200m as tide was out, the ocean floor was shallow near the shore, and most of the jellies were there. But on the way in (riding a wave) I got multiple stings, which made the bike very interesting with swollen eyes. My power was all over the place--due to wind and not being able to see the PM clearly! Ugh. On the plus side, the violent itching from the stings kind of distracted me from other issues like fatigue and heat.... |

I like ocean swims as long as the surf isn’t bad! Knock on wood, I haven’t had any jelly fish issues. But, I would not like them! Had my puppy at the beach yesterday. The wind was crazy and lots of jellies blown in, lots of big ones. My puppy was sniffing them before I knew what was up. Never got stung though. Thankfully, a couple of man o war that were blown in did not get his attention, b/c then we would have had a very sad puppy! ETA: once again my picture shows up as an attachment. Grr.

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Caution - TMI Originally posted by kbhanson3 Yep TMI would be if you had included pictures of said chaffing. While you all laugh Yanti did exactly that to me after IM WA. Some things you can just never get out of your brain. Originally posted by nrpoulin Bizarre to me that your post would be considered TMI in this forum. Guess it was simply the use of the word "chafing??" Having never run more than a 15k, I can't offer any recommendations. Just had to chime in on the TMI flag. Running shorts. Any of the guys out there run in tracksmith shorts?
