lululemon Tri Babes

The new clem made her first bike commute today.. and tonight, Tantalus repeats! New clem rides strangely similar to old clem.. The biggest difference I can find is that new clem is a little more fluorescent orange.

I kind of have a lululemon obsession. You may have noticed. At my last job I could (and did) wear 100% lululemon to work. It was awesome. This job requires things that need to be ironed, but I'll complain about that later. Because todayI want to talk about lululemon Tri Babes. Five other lululemon-loving triathletes and I will be running, cycling and swimming lululemon's latest products into the ground. Their speed shorts are my favorite, I no longer run in anything else. Until a year ago, I went out of my way to search for a lululemon store every time I hit the mainland.. and then we got our own here on Oahu. And now friends in less fortunate areas send me on missions to pick them up lululemon gear.. But soon that won't be an issue, because as of April 2009, they're selling online. And while the husband was skeptical when he unwrapped them christmas morning, he now wears his light, slightly stretchy lululemon "khakis" to school most days.. it's not just for the girls.

I am so excited! Not only do I get to run in and talk up clothes I would be running in and talking up anyway, I now get to give feedback about what I love and don't love (ummm, will there be anything?) about my favorite stuff, and try out lots of their new products. Sure, it's just going to feed the obsession further.. but I'm just going to roll with it. Already I'm learning stuff.. like that logo? It's not a 50s hairdo, or a horseshoe, it's a funky A. The other Tri Babes are some cool, bad ass girls, but I'll let them tell you about it themselves. A couple of them are linked over there in fun humans, though.. if you feel like digging through!




And in the spirit of all things lululemon, check out my friend Kirsten in the latest Triathlete magazine doing yoga. She demonstrates 8 yoga moves that she uses post-run to stretch out, loosend up the hamstrings and back, and recover. I started on Monday, and will do them after my daily run and update in two weeks. My hamstrings are not unlike leather belts, so I'm all in hoping this will help. You can find the article online here. on page 167. It's a quick little set, and since time is the limiter that prevents me from committing to more yoga, this is perfect for me. Plus, Kirsten is a babe, so boys, go read.
