Us girls were protected by our bras but I noticed alot of men with blood on their tops yesterday from nipple injuries. I hope you are all ok this morning.
The shirts brought back my bleeding nipples! (Done London this year without a drop!)
A couple of kids asked me about and I explained that it was some minor bleeding from subbing. They replied that they had seen lots of men with the same problem.
I added a extra bit of colour to my shirt yesterday. Didn't think running was a blood sport. Previously had soar nipples on the longer runs, but first time with blood.
And just FYI, yes they still hurt especially having to get up and wear a shirt and tie. Any solutions fellow suffers?
I'm not surprised this affected many people. I really am surprised at Nike for promoting their event by breaking one of the first rules of racing - do not run a race in new kit. Always make sure it is tried and tested in training first.
Karen, you're not American are you ? or maybe a lawyer or work for Reebok ? Did the Guildford half on Sunday with trusty Elastoplasts stuck over each one ! sore nipples is a never to be repeated experience !
I had a really bad case training for FLM in 2001 - my first ever race...on one of my 20 milers, it started to pour with rain...by 15 miles my white vest wasn't. Now I always dab some vaseline (not KY Jelly as I almost found to my cost that it is water soluble on a later run)on...it does mark your running vest but I've never suffered that 'shower' moment since.
Maybe Persil should co-sponsor next years event ? Did the same thing happen last year ? I don't have any problem with my nips for distances up to 8 miles or so. Longer than that and I do plaster them up though.
Last year they were pink, so no blood to be seen. However, the shirts were a different heavier material, so more sweat, but I had taped myself for that one.

M.
been rubbing.
No point in sueing or moaning.
Literally just a case of
'tough titties'.

Ow!
shirt in advance - I did and ran
in it several times b4 yesterday.
Bloody nipples every time.
. . . not really a suitable material
for running in. It may wick well but
it is too heavy and obiously rubs
many men up the wrong way.
