7 reasons why I run with a sippy cup
BY: raeray80 on 2011-08-08 10:59 PM
7. Carries ~10 oz, just enough to take two good sips every 5 minutes on a 70-80 minute run.
6. Built-in no-leak silicone valve means no unscrewing of cap, and no push-pull action to manuever with ones teeth to get a drink. Just lift and suck!
5. Spill-proof for a toddler = spill-proof for me! The cap of a dropped sippy cup does not pop off, exploding my precious drink everywhere when my hands get sweaty and I have an "oops".
4. Contoured design makes it easy to carry without a strap.
3. Running with a sippy cup screams confidence. Yeah - that's right, it's a sippy cup. You can stare all you want, I know you wished you'd thought of it. Yeah, keep staring, pointing, laughing at the ridiculous awesomeness that is beholden to me.
2. With so many color options, I can pick my mix 'n match cap and bottle to fit my mood. Am I cheerful? Pink with a yellow top. Patriotic? Red, white and blue. PMS'ing? Environmental? Sleepy? Lazy? The combinations are limitless.
1. Price tag. $1.97 Enough said.

New business idea? You could brand them with Tri logos? -

Don't take this wrong way...but I'm impressed that you can generate the suction necessary to get liquid out of a sippy cup. I have tried and my head nearly imploded. -

Nathan Hydration makes an adult version now. I love them.

This skill also translates into seamless ingestion of thick goos.I should start collecting some triathlon stickers to put on a couple of the sippy cups. I just have to make sure not to cover up the my little pony ones
No one will doubt my hardcore status!
Love it!
