runny nose

Well. To be honest. I have hit my leg.

You mean you hit the pedestal on which I had put you? *sigh*

Well, it's usually at the start of the 'season' before I get back in shape.

& I am a terrible spitter.

I suffer from this problem more in spring and fall. My snot rockets usually go where I want them, but, now and then, I have hit my shoulder or, worse, my sunglasses. I always carry a tissue in my right back pocket to "clean-up" with plus spares in my pack. I try to avoid using the gloves and reserve them for face-sweat wiping.

Glad it's not time for lunch yet.

I'm laughing so hard my nose is running!

I can only do snot rockets from my left nostril. It's like there isn't enough pressure to do them out of the right and I just end up blowing my nose on my face. My failed rockets have pretty much hit every part of my body. Every time I blow a snot rocket, I comment out loud to myself about how gross it is.

Oh, and I've been snot rocketed by other riders twice now. One lady got me good on the bike trail...I felt it hit my legs and arms and face. The trail is busy and I personally think you should check behind you before you blow a rocket. She wasn't at all apologetic. A guy got me on the road but he had no idea I was back there. It's rare to come upon another cyclist riding around here so I wouldn't have expected him to check first.

I'm trying to figure out how NorseGoddess hit her sunglasses.

Got the right side working, hitting the ground and not me. Check! Not sure where my technique is failing on the left... must be in the wrist... hopefully soon I will have this stuff firing out of both nostrils.

Now that really IS gross. I don't want to be caught doing it wrong, so I make sure no one's around, in front or behind, before launching.
