It's not the run I'm worried about   I usually wear a sports bra under my tri suit anyway, I'm just wondering if one will be enough - even white sports bras become transparent when wet.
And then there's the bare looking belly, it's not going to be pretty.

roadrhino - 2010-03-02 7:38 AM I had a very interesting moment on my run this morning...

I was in my cool down with about 6:00 remaining and I was coming up on a driveway where a man was standing by the curb - smoking - (ugh!) with his car running (ugh, again). Anyway, I can tell he is going to talk to me. I think he's going to ask if I'm training for something...no big deal. But he says "Excuse me, I think I hit you last week." I'm thinking that if he thinks he hit me last week, gee thanks for stopping to render aid, buddy...and yeah, I made a miraculous recovery since then.

Actually, he did almost hit Nik last week. He was trying to light his cigarette and drive...ended up on the opposite side of the street and Nik had to hop over the curb into someone's yard. I did tell him it wasn't me but it was her. He asked me to apologize for him and to let her know his windshield was frosted over and he couldn't see crap... yeah...and you were trying to light a cigarette at the same time...makes sense to me.

Anyway, it was an interesting end to the run and just a reminder as to how clueless the sedentary world can be.

KeriKadi - 2010-03-02 10:05 AM Question for the Houston peeps - Did anybody else go for that OUL deal where you registered for all 3 races and got the free tri outfit?  I went ahead and registered, the price was right and all 3 races were already on my schedule so it made sense.  However, after seeing the WHITE tri top I'm wondering if they plan on charging spectators admission.
This was obviously designed by a dude.  The sides are black which will be slimming but WHITE?  Really?  And the bottoms have a white arch over the butt.  I'll definitely be conducting a wet trail before wearing this in a race.

Nicole83 - 2010-03-02 3:06 PM This reminded me, yesterday at the gym there was a guy swimming in the most threadbare pale pink (possibily origionally white but got washed in a color load) jammers I've ever seen.  When he got out of the pool it was kind of like he was swimming in cellophane.

Not okay.  I like to be at least somewhat prepared for full frontal nudity.

So anyway, good luck with the white.  Personally, I would probably sport a black sports bra underneath just to be safe.

Speaking of FB I'm wondering if there aren't more folks in our group on FB?  Or is it just that nobody is active on there?

Nicole83 - 2010-03-02 2:18 PM I'm wondering the same thing.

PSA- I SUCK at finding people and adding them on facebook, so if you want to be my "friend" just tell me what you need and I will accept your friend request.

And then you get to see lots of random and sometimes hysterical photos of me.

kjivie - 2010-03-02 7:06 PM A few of you have asked me about my Vibram Five Fingers and since I have had a few decent runs in them now I thought I would update you all.

First off- I love them.  Such a different feeling to my runs than when wearing standard shoes.  It really feels like bare feet with thick calluses- very cool. 

I am a mid/fore foot striker with normal shoes, but must be much more of a forefoot striker in the Five Fingers cuz my calves are always screaming at me the day after a longer (3+mi.) run. 

You really have to watch for small pebbles in the road.  I have run on dirt, asphalt, mud, gravel, snow and the only thing that hurts is that stupid little quarter inch pebble on the asphalt that happens to hit right in the center of my forefoot.  It goes away quickly, but its almost debilitating for a few seconds.

Running the snow w/ the Vibrams is probably the most fun I have ever had running in my life- very cool.  Plus, it leaves human-like footprints!!

They might not make me faster, and I doubt they prevent injuries, but they are a nice change of pace once or twice a week and I will continue to use them mostly cause they are fun.

bzgl40 - 2010-03-02 2:54 PM My March goals are to stop eating cookies every time Tina makes them.  This goal will be much easier to achieve when she goes out into the field.  I don't think this is an achievable goal.   The only real goal I have is to get back to a regular workout schedule, especially with getting my arse back into the pool.  With the move and all that's enough for me.  By the end of March I should be nicely settled in and can get more focused.

ETA: All that talk of cookies reminded me I wanted a cookie.  So I had one.
