I’ve been feeling a bit unmotivated since the NYC Tri a month ago but I’ve got to get my head back in the game because I have one more triathlon this weekend in DC! One thing that’s got me excited is my new outfit from Coeur Sports.
Most tri outfits are…how do I put this nicely…well, they are ugly! They are often unflattering and boring. I’m happy to see that sports companies are finally bringing together fashion and function. I tried on my Coeur outfit and I’m already in love. The colors are great, it’s flattering and it’s comfortable. One of my biggest complaints with tri shorts is that they sometimes squeeze unflatteringly at your tights and waist. These don’t do this, they are tight enough that they will stay in place but they aren’t cutting off my circulation and giving me extra noticeable thunder thighs.
The top has pockets in the back to store Gu or whatever nutrition you require during a race or a long ride. The pieces are made from the right material to avoid chafing and I think it will dry pretty quickly once I exit the swim portion of the race.
If you’re headed to Nations Tri next weekend, look for me in this outfit! And if you’re in the market to up your tri gear, head over to Coeur Sports and get yourself a new outfit.
