Nerdy Notes

While mostly geek, I do have nerd genes as well. That's means when I find a new interest I study it.

I found some interesting notes.

• Before the sports bra was invented in the 1970s, women used two jock straps or Ace bandages.
  
• People run a mile 30 seconds slower for every 5 degrees over 60 degrees. Because of that, I figure I'm actually super fast when not in South Texas.
• Some runners drop off water bottles on their trail before they run, so they have water handy during their run.
  

Now, when I read that last one, I thought, "Seriously? Who's that trusting? Someone could steal it or do something to the water. No one does that down here."

Then I learned Team in Training does that. They dropped off two water jugs before our run from Harlingen to San Benito. Of course, on learning this, I immediately jinxed them and said, "Really? I'd be afraid they'd be stolen or something."

And they were.

*Sigh* I got to drink and refill before they were taken. Unfortunately, the people running twice the distance I did weren't able to.

Note to self: No more jinxing.
