First Phoenix Team MGD 64 exposure?

Posted by jpnairn01 on Oct 19, 2008 10:48:43 PM

Hi, team,

 

Like most of you, I got my MGD 64 stuff on Friday. Saturday I ran the Chandler Challenge 10K at Tumbleweed Park, wearing my t-shirt for the first time.

 

 

 

The tag in the shirt kept sticking up on the back of my neck. After pushing it back down about 5 times in the first mile, I gave up on it, but I cut it off when I got home. I also cut horizontal slits in the logo on the back. I hate it when someone takes a nice technical shirt, designed to wick mositure and keep you cool, and puts a big, rubbery design on it that totally defeats the purpose. Anyway, the shirt still looks the same, but seems to breathe a little better.

 

 

 

I forgot to get any pictures at that event, though.

 

 

 

Later that day, I used my card to buy some beer, had a few with some friends and passed out some coupons.

 

 

 

Is there a policy on how many coupons should be given to one person? Someone aksed for a stack to pass out at work. I turned him down and gave him three, but I will see him again.

 

 

 

Anyway, today, Sunday, I ran the ARR classic 20K. (Which turned out to be almost 21K.) I got some pictures, and passed out a few more coupons.

 

 

 

I'm curious about whether anyone else has use their gear yet, or if I'm the first.

 

 

 

Hope you all had a great weekend!

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

 

Jerry

Haha! I cut the tag out of my shirt after reading this!!!  And I felt what you were saying about the decal on the back when I wore it to the pre-race day for SOMA.  But I think us girls have an advantage....the sports bra kind of all comes together right under that thing, helping it not stick directly to our skin!!! So maybe if you wore a sports bra during your next race your skin won't stick! Hahaha!!!
