Ooh I have several examples! 😂 But a few off the top of my head: The Flipbelt that kept bouncing around on every run. The Saucony Triumph 20 where every mile I ran on it was painful and not fun. Compression socks made my bunion worse so I stopped wearing those on my runs unless they are compression toe socks. A wide assortment of energy gel brands.

Flex: Did my Saturday long run on Friday instead. Heat and humidity was awful and it was going to be just as bad or worse the next day. 10 miles without water, no energy gels.

The crowd is nice to have but I never really notice them. But I don’t usually notice what’s around me when I’m racing and so I wouldn’t notice the beautiful course either!

@Caroline Claassen Sawtooth laces are the best. I always switch out the awful laces on my Adidas shoes and replace them with the sawtooth laces.

I’ve got one more left after Copenhagen this fall. And yes, they are now all super hard to get into.

@Caroline Claassen Cardiff will be the last one. They switched to lottery as well.
