Workkin' Out! - Page 39

I never have problems with sweat if I wear my contacts. When I do wear glasses: Posture. Don't look down when running. Pushups, look forward.

Also, don't wipe your face/head. That always seems to send all of the sweat directly into my eyes.

I ran a 50k race with ~7k feet of elevation gain yesterday. Cool in the morning, around 56 F. A little warm toward the end, around 85 F.

Yeah, my head is up eyes forward in my both my sports, fencing and mountain biking, so sweat doesn't seem to go in the eyes. Fenced in a nice veteran epee event yesterday in Harrisburg worked up a good soggy sweat until an National Team guy ended my day. I fenced well but am going to get some video from my coach because I can always improve. Lil Pete filmed my last bout which ended 10 - 7 and looks different than I remembered, needless to say there is stuff to clean up.

Interval training? Gosh, I've never heard of that.

My heart rate hasn't been in a comfort zone for the past year. I didn't call it interval training, though.

Five minutes into my run, my glasses fogged up so badly I had to take them off just to see. When we got home, the dog had little beads of water all over her eyebrows. I wanted to take a pic, but she rolled around in the grass before I could get the camera.

There is a race visor on clearance for $8 at the end of the page. I prefer the endurance visor's fit though. YMMV. If you don't like the visor, they make just a sweatband. To keep mine from getting funky, when I get home I just rinse it in the sink and hang to dry right away. I recommend getting a colored one, white ones get gross looking even when they are relatively clean.

Or, just cut up an old drifit shirt, and make a headband out of that. Same concept as what I paid $20 for to wear under my bike helmet.

Why can't *I* think of these things sooner?

ETA several friends have Headsweats hats/visors. Same thing.

Maybe my cro-magnon brow keeps the sweat out of my eyes.

LabRat? wtf

Thanks for the tip, but I don't want a 'tan-line' on my forehead.

I'm going to try smearing vaseline across my brow to redirect the sweat.

holy fuck it's labrat! I did a tri, LR, you'd've been proud!

meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Flint, stop plucking your eyebrows like a girl -they have a purpose.

I carry a towel and wipe. I don't run in Texan Ovens, though. The guys who do stupid things like that here wear cotton bandanas/do-rags that come partway down their foreheads.

Ran ~5.5 miles last night in the blistering heat. (But it was a dry heat!)

Tomorrow is a 20 mile training run that summits every hill/mountain in the Helena trail system.

My third 50k race in three months is in a couple of weeks. My heart is totally not in it. Over-trained and/or some mild mood crap poking its head out.

Griff · 08-16-2013, 04:10 PM

You're giving me foot pain.

BigV · 08-16-2013, 04:13 PM

I'm heading out now for a couple hours of chasing the lawnmower. Then I'll follow that with some weightlifting, using sections of a downed tree for weights. I'll stay hydrated with frozen margaritas.

BigV · 08-16-2013, 06:23 PM

Back yard done. Front yard to go, tree section removal to go.
