Race strategy for heat (temp) (Read 54 times)

    I  love it when a thread veers off into the protecting the nips from chafing territory cuz then I get to post this picture.  Cecil, a little duct tape should work .... just like this ....

     

     

    Nice pic Ken - good suggestion with the tape, looks like it works well for her! I actually have not had any problem with the nips chaffing, and was just wondering why - is my manly, hairy chest holding the singlet out away from the delicate bits, or are singlets in general never a cause of this problem. Last time I had sanded nips was probably a few winters ago when I was wearing 4 or 5 top layers and running 13.1 miles, fast enough to be soaked in sweat. 

     

    I HAVE learned the hard way this year that if I forget to wash my running shorts after even ONE run in the heat, the sweat salt crystals will sand off the skin on my thighs on the next run in just a few quick miles...

    Retired &  Loving It

      We moved recently and my wife was going through the medicine cabinet and throwing out stuff.  When she saw the myriad boxes of band aids she was tossing them out and I frantically rescued my moob protectors.  She was shocked to learn what I use those for, I guess she has lived a sheltered life so far.

        These things --> (clicky) are outstanding. They beat the pants off band-aids if you've got a hairy chest.

          I prefer these.

           

           

          Cheap and not so sticky as to rip out nipple hair.

          Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.

            I use the J&J-branded square ones.  They rip the chest/peri-nippular hair out when removed ... but I kinda like that.

                You should just go with duct tape. More bang for your buck.

                  Feeling the growl again

                    I don't even care if there is a hat trick, I appreciate seeing cute skater chick posted again.

                      Well, given the option of the two pictures posted, what to like is easy to chose.

                      an amazing likeness

                        So...today's trip to running hell was a half marathon 82F and climbing in blazing sun, with no breeze. Same shirt as pictures above, but due to quality band aid stickiness, no bloody nips.

                        Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
