I couldn't carry a water bottle, but I'll probably learn the hard way some day that I should at a certain mileage.

10k - 51:47 (8:16 min/mile pace)

13.1 - 1:53:12 (8:39 min/mile pace)
26:2 - 4:14:55 (9:44 min/mile)
That is what my Camelbak is for. Having something heavy in my hand while running drives me batty.
I don't have any running items that are nerdier than the average runner, but then again, a lot of running gear is pretty nerdy in and of itself. I have a headlamp, and a spibelt, and a Garmin, and a Camelbak, and compression socks, etc and so forth. I fortunately cannot say that I've ever worn all of those at once, LOL.
My wildly inconsistent PRs:
5k: 24:36 (10/20/12)
10k: 52:01 (4/28/12)
HM: 1:50:09 (10/27/12)
Marathon: 4:19:11 (10/2/2011)
Lol, I want to see someone wearing all of those. I've contemplated buying a camelbak but I did once and didn't like it and also I feel I won't really need one until I'm regularly running 10 miles or more in heat, I do pretty well without one right now... or at least I think I do.

Hell no C. That's ironically retro. Very French Foreign Legion. Tres hip.
After you said that, all I can think of is this:
They'll tell you that failure is not an option. That's ridiculous. Failure is always an option. It is the easiest and most readily available option. It's your choice though.
