	Running clothes! I bought a flash dash Asics (hydrology, thermopolis, UV SPF 15+, seamology - don't you just love the terminology) running vest and a pair of obscene, tiny little running shorts. Chortle, chortle. I put it on, came out the changing room, turned round and thought 'hmmm, not terribly pretty dear but it will certainly keep you cool during the race'. I also found a Puma running belt with a drink bottle and small pocket in the sale so I bought that too. I asked for bodyglide as I am finding a rubbing issue with my bra, but they looked at me like I was mental and it seems that this opinion was not lessened when I tried to explain what I wanted it for. I think the bloke stopped taking me seriously when I complained that the water bottle pack was black and did not come in pink or purple. 'Do they come in other colors apart from black then?' 'Oh yes. Other colors like pink and purple. I'm sure of that. I've seen them on the internet' 'And you wanted some...bodyslide?' 'Bodyglide - it prevents chafing.' 'You're chafing' 'Quite clearly. It's pink and i'd like a rehydration system to match.' No luck though. So I ended up with this... Which isn't nearly girly enough for the Cheapdate but it matches my obscene Puma running shorts and my black flashdash vest very nicely. Claire xxx Just to quickly clarify - Cheapdate is not my real surname - it's my nickname, my friends call me Cookie Cheapdate which I think is an excellent name, but then, I am easily pleased. Modified for greatness.

	Hmmm...can you even get Bodyglide in NZ? Maybe it's not available everywhere... I'd order it online and pay international shipping if I couldn't get it locally--it works that well! We will have to see pics of you in your fancy race getup, you know! k

	If you can't get Bodyglide, you can also use Vaseline as well. It's just as hard to get out as Bodyglide afterwards. I use Vaseline on my face when the temperature nears single digits Fahrenheit.

That'd be hot, all Body-Glided up. It'll sell like hotcakes.

It's kind of like that waxy lip balm. Hmmm...I wonder if a person could use Chapstick in a pinch...? k

	hey claire... maybe you can ask somebody at http://www.endurancesport.co.nz/running/ on where to get body glide. good luck..hopefully you won't be using cooking oil as a last resort..

Maybe I accidentally purchases the extra strong variant

	I wonder if it depends upon where a person applies the Bodyglide or how much they sweat...? I really only use it for "chub rub" and my lower back when I wear my Camelbak. I think by the time I finish a run it has mostly sweat off, so maybe that's why it's never been hard to remove, since those are such sweat intense areas. Or maybe it's just because I'm a sweaty pig. I would think if a person uses it for chafing around their arms or areas that aren't as prone to heavy perspiration that maybe it wouldn't wear-off or sweat off as easily. k

	I have had several of my "ultra" acquaintences tell me that this -->http://trisports.com/sportslick.html is better than bodyglide. I have used bodyglide with quite good success on my legs, my back and shoulders (for camelbak), my feet, my...uh..uh...well, let's just say I have used it quite liberally! I have never had an issue with bodyglide staining my running clothes, but I do have a couple of shirts with "grease spots" in the nipple area from using vaseline and/or other non-chaffe products (like bag balm, utter butter, etc.). Check out retailers that may have triathletes as frequent shoppers, as they have multiple opportunities for chaffing and seem to have some rather specialized solutions that should cross over to running... Good luck, Lynn B
