Okay, who's tried dipping "Skoal" on the Bike Leg?

Or seen that happen?

I just got passed by some dude with a “wad” in his mouth. Swear to god.

Maybe it’s how he deals with drafters?

At least he didn’t have a cigarette in his mouth as he went past. Watched a guy finish an Oly one time, go directly to transition and light up a smoke.

I had a cigar on my way home from my first tri. It became a ritual, sort a retroactive good luck charm.

The one and only time I tried a dip was at a rifle range when I was in the Marines. I was shooting expert and my buddy said “You’re doing great!!! Here try a dip” So I did and after a minute or two I got all whoosy and was stumbling around. Another minute went by and I puked. I couldn’t imagine taking a dip while riding a bike.

I have dipped (i.e. chewed skoal) in about every imaginable life situation (I no longer use tobacco products).

A while ago I was midway through a swim workout when I realized I was still chewing my gum. Kinda gross.

So bogue. In my patrol in the Army that was 100% forbidden.

Nasty habit. Yuck.

I don’t smoke, but I’ve got to admit that a good Cuban cigar about once a year is one of life’s small pleasures.
