CAN HAIRY LEGS MAKE YOU FASTER?
IT'S WINTER, most of us are training indoors or outside solo. Some of it is top secret, some of it is posted on Starva. Meanwhile...
... will getting back to leg shaving make me faster?
Or, is it like Samson's hair?
Neither.
But, here's a short list of pros and cons.
Pro leg shavin'
- Looks cool
- Signals, I know what I'm doing
- Easier to clean up after taking a tumble
- Saves .2 seconds over a 100km time trial at 30mph
Pro leg hairyin'
- Looks wild
- Signals, Give me room I'm new
- Taking a tumble isn't even a consideration
- Saves hours over the course of a year of shower time
Diesel, do you shave your legs?
Why yes, I do.
Why are they hairy, then?
Because I'm not right now.
When do you shave your legs?
When I wanna feel fast and sexy.
When is that?
Which reminds me of the first time I got in the ocean after shaving my legs.
I felt naked.
Which reminds me of the first time I climbed in beg with Surfergirl after shaving my legs.
I felt nakeder.
But, I digress.
Showing up with wild legs is a legit tactic I've used when racing in strange lands...
... the disrespect is drenching.
And their isn't anything like disrespect to get me fired up.
Shallow, I know.
But, it works.
