Drafting (Read 1194 times)

I was wondering if anybody would bring up that play on words. When I passed her, I said, "Might tad windy over here, want some help?" or something to that effect. After the fact, I refer to it as offering to "break wind" for her, as it is (a) more humorous and (b) more succinct.

I'm much too immature to let that pass. In fact, even that sentence made me smile. Assume that nothing is below me.

This thread was a topic of conversation during my run on Sunday. I brought it up to the group I was running with and found out that several have been on both sides of drafting. This was a tactic I had never heard before. During my last race it was very windy and the one guy I ran with for the first half of the race is much taller than I am. I didn't think about it till now but he probably helped me since he did end up blocking the wind during a few stretches. I should thank him.

this would be a good time to practice your snot rockets
