I have one that also has a pocket, so something like that might work for your camera.Travel & Dive Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726948140601040484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-73940056043899160282010-02-13T18:02:33.462-05:002010-02-13T18:02:33.462-05:00i guess i am 'tacky' when i wear bright co...i guess i am 'tacky' when i wear bright colored sports bras under white shirts :) oh well.<br /><br />i would vote old and comfy, but why not see how the new digs work out over the next couple of weeks? maybe you'll find you like the new shorts/etc better.<br /><br />as for the camera - when i ran in disney last year i just held my camera in my hand (and put the strap around my wrist in case i dropped it). it wasn't that annoying (to me) 'cause i wasn't racing hard or anything.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-53760210198056511532010-02-13T14:06:32.958-05:002010-02-13T14:06:32.958-05:00I'd go with the old comfy stuff too, at least ...I'd go with the old comfy stuff too, at least on the next to skin layer if you know what I mean. I wouldn't be too worried about layering up a new t-shirt over a tried & true long sleeve. <br /><br />As for place to put the camera, I always carry my phone (has a camera), a bit of cash, room key card and ID on my fuel belt. I have never taken it out during a race, but it's nice to have just in case.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253545798748518981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-5527544781572759592010-02-13T12:14:48.552-05:002010-02-13T12:14:48.552-05:00Old comfy stuff! :)Old comfy stuff! :)khalasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944885591021240939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-32594612877798604112010-02-13T09:26:32.971-05:002010-02-13T09:26:32.971-05:00As long as the stuff doesn't rub a raw spot, w...As long as the stuff doesn't rub a raw spot, wear what you really want to wear. <br /><br />I'm wearing an old reliable running skirt, old bra (my favorite non-riding up one) and a new t-shirt. Oh, and some fabulous knee high athletic socks just for the hell of it (and I have worn them already so I know they'll do fine).<br /><br />I'm getting excited! Oh, and someone told me to wear a trash bag in the line up as it will keep me warm until the running warms me up. Sounds like a plan!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999741671175495307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-81315054791701641002010-02-13T08:19:56.995-05:002010-02-13T08:19:56.995-05:00I say go old school comfort.

Under no circumstances do you want to wear anything that you have not worn on at least twice before on runs of at least 10 miles. The day of the event is not the time to find out your sports bra that works fine on short runs chaffs you. I know this from experience! Or that your socks are lacking a little in elastic and are going to fall down while you run giving you a blister. I know this and many other tales of horror from experience. So repeat after me, "I will not wear ANYTHING new on race day". Also, you are not going to want to be carrying a lot of stuff in your pockets, forget the camera, get an ipod shuffle and order the professional photos after the event. Again, not trying to be a know it all but I have been there done that....and blisters and raw parts hurt not only when running but for at least a week after!CB Maurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953447575596850351noreply@blogger.com
