Fat *
Low heel-to-toe drop shoes.
Actually swimming laps instead of pissing about doing bloody side kick with fins and popov drills.


* specifically, I stopped avoiding fat and started avoiding sugar. Mmmmmmm, proper meat with fat in it.

Cheap (<$30) sunglasses.

X2. After all the glowing words for expensive sunglasses I boutgh a pair of Oakley's half off. One year later they are scratched to heck and the rubber on the frames is falling apart. I didn't see any improvement over the cheap sungalsses I get at Home Depot (polarized, rimless and impact resistent for <$20)

I did that with Aviator knockoffs a few years back. I seemed to lose one nice, expensive pair of aviators a year. A couple years ago I bought three pairs of knockoffs for $15 total and haven't lost a single pair yet :p

The "aviators" aren't. The real aviator sunglasses worn by pilots cost $40 and are made by AO (American Optical). What people think of as aviators (expensive Oakley's etc..) THEY are the knockoffs. True story.

I use the $50 Tifosi for running and cycling. I've always suspected that $150 or $200 glasses aren't any better.

The majority of posters on this forum are American, most of whom do not understand sarcasm, let alone are able to post a sarcastic comment on purpose.

Well, return to mountain biking/freeriding after 20 years. I haven't done a tri in 4 years, but still love the ST forum.

I used to say that, too... for about four years. Then I got sick of being ill once every two weeks and decided to add meat and eggs back in... I haven't been sick in over two years. I miss eating that way, though.

Trail running. I have logged about 50 road miles in the past 2 years (getting to trails mostly) and about 5000 miles on trails. I have no plan whatsoever to return to pavement for anything. It's xterra or nothing for me from now on.

The HeatGear sleeveless: https://www.underarmour.com/...shirt/pid1257469-410

Buy it on the tight side, it's not restrictive. It's super thin and doesn't give me the wet shirt sticking to abs stomach feeling. The only thing I would like is a lower neckline (it's crew neck). For Wildflower I actually used the long sleeve women's version since it has a v-neck. Great sun protection (UPF50) so no "angel wings" and cool&aero on the bike. The sleeves were a bit hot for the run though.
