I am convinced that snot rockets are really good for you, consistent with breathing strategies people work hard to learn. Drain, baby, drain!

Lots of people stop riding when they have to switch to wearing a balaclava under their helmet. I'm convinced it is because they are so grossed out by taking the 'clava off at the end. I used to take a clean one with me to ride home at the end of the day. No way was I putting the morning one back on in the evening. I must have 6 of them running around here. Noses run in cold weather to try moisten the cold, dry air before it gets to your chest, they are just doing their job, even if it is gross.

I use an atrovent nasal spray, made to help exercise induces rhinitis. It's not perfect, but I'm miserable without it.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

I get a lot of snot too, and winter hives to complicate things. And windburned eyes. Oh but that's another thread. I just suffer with the snot. Then it's really fun to go to Choir practice on Thursday nights and see which notes I can actually hit!

FYI Apparently the Chinese government attempted to stop their general population from snot rocketing as a way of life in the period leading up to the Olympics. Imagine all the trees 1.3 billion people a year save by snot rocketing
We are in very good company.

Just so they could welcome all the athletes to snot rocket all over their new expensive stadiums for a month.

My nose runs lightly whenever I eat, and heavily whenever I exercise, and like a river when I exercise in the cold. That's just the way it is. And I found out recently that my dad is the same.
I am in the process (currently: planning) of making more fabric handkerchiefs for my delicate nose for when I'm off the bike or out of my running shoes. My nose runs even if I'm just walking around in the winter, but I don't blow snot rockets then.
