Can we talk about....snot?

[Catrin]

I can never figure out if the *snot* is related to head forward and down position OR allergens in the air OR sometimes cool air OR exercise OR wind OR something else. All I know is that there will be snot.

For me it is purely temp. related. when temps hit 50 or so it does not happen again until fall...

ER doc "how did you crash" rider "I was attempting a snot rocket without getting it all over myself" - Okay just kidding. I am not very good at snot rockets so I actually carry a hanky and I use my glove when I am wearing them and my jersey. Plus lots of chapstick to ward off sore nose. ~

You gals are hilarious!

I am a glove person. I would probably fail at the snot rocket and get mucous all over myself.

That's why I don't necessarily think practicing into a tissue is such a great idea. You don't want to get in the habit of putting your arm in the way. Practice into your garden or in the shower...

This. I always ride with a hanky...either for snot or sweat. I have a little case on my top tube where I stuff it when not in use. During CX races I will tie it around my wrist. I always run with it, too.
