Ok, so I raced this last weekend in Havasu lake (can you say HOT??) and I got really really hot on the run part of the triathlon.

So I was doing research on the cool-collar thingys that have the gel inside them, trying to find an easy way to keep cool in hot races, and found a type that you put ice in (I bet you can see where I'm going with this).

So I thought why not roll ice cubes up in my buff?? And so I tried it and it is amazingly cold! As the ice melts, it just drips and helps cool you off more
It just flops right down onto your neck, and seems to stay put just fine.

Another reason why buffs rule.
