We mostly use BlueSeventy lined accessories, especially the lined hoods. I don't know if the lining makes a significant difference but it feels like it matters. I find the socks to be great for getting in and the first 10 min of swimming. After that I could probably do without. <br />As for post-swim layers prewarmed, it seems like you could put them in your dryer, pull them out very warm, and put them in a small ice chest, without the ice of course. I think the warm beverage is the best strategy if it's not sunny and/or warm out. What do you think?Coach Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632993065076603931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25739838.post-31397262221721109432020-11-29T05:36:16.902-08:002020-11-29T05:36:16.902-08:00Great read Skip!

Also there is discussion of footwear - fleece lined and slip-on. Shopping time.

My legs are sore but I never had to actually CRAWL up or down stairs. Squatting and standing up is still challenging but doesn't elicit groans of pain. My chest/diaphram was VERY fatigued as is typical. Taking a deep breath is still fine though I do still feel it. I'm still planning to take 2-3 weeks off before getting into training for Oside 70.3. No "structured" training for a couple of weeks - just what feels good.Coach Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632993065076603931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25739838.post-91449890274233045342015-10-25T05:20:05.173-07:002015-10-25T05:20:05.173-07:00Nothing like kicking TEXAS a##, Oh, I mean kicking...Nothing like kicking TEXAS a##, Oh, I mean kicking A## in Texas....SladeratorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25739838.post-28261603733645282242015-09-24T21:41:46.861-07:002015-09-24T21:41:46.861-07:00Thanks a ton for the post regarding Early Morning ...Thanks a ton for the post regarding Early Morning Pre-Workout Nutrition.
