Well, the test run with the Nathan Intensity was pretty much a fail for the following reasons: 1. I am kind of self-conscious about my boobs when I run. Wearing a vest that has a strap that secures right underneath the girls pretty much shouts HELLO! HERE WE ARE! 2. Clearly these things are designed to make you choose between breathing up front or bouncing in the back. There is no middle ground. 3. Was that 40 oz of water on my back or 40 tons of water BUFFALO? Cuz if felt like buffalo. Just sayin. 3. I had to stop 35 times to readjust the straps that kept flapping and the hose that kept coming untucked and smacking me in the face. Twice people stopped to see if I needed help. 4. Judging from the chaffing I have after 8 miles, I will either have to run in a long-sleeved shirt or just keep running straight to the nearest ER after 50. 5. I finally did find a convenient way to run with it, but it involved dumping all of the water out of the bladder halfway through the run. So then I was just a weirdo running with an empty backpack for 4 miles. Back to the drawing board. Tomorrows test: running with a 22 oz handheld in each hand.
