I am running in the Shamrock Marathon in March, and it is likely to be a little chilly. I looked at pictures of last years, and most people seemed to be wearing long sleeve shirts, and leggings. I already have the leggings, but only one long sleeve cycling jersey with a cycling related print on it. Oh, I do have a logn sleeve Cold Gear shirt too, but that will probably be too warm.
I wanted something fun to wear for the race. I have a bunch of Primal Wear cycling jerseys (tuxedo, leisude suit, one that looks like muscles, Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon, etc), but they are all short sleeve. I have worn the tuxedo jersey (The Ritz) in the Buffalo Marathon and the Rochester Marathon. I also wore it for a 50 mile bike ride. Imagine that, wearing cycling jersey for cycling. I love running in cycling jerseys since they have the pockets in the back. I had been considering buying a long sleeve version of the tuxedo jersey, but put it off. I had seen it on Primal’s site for $75. But I saw at another place for under $70. Yesterday I decided to order it. But found the place that had it for under $70, no longer had it in size Large. Ack! I went to Primal Wear’s site, but they were out of stock too. Uh oh. I started kicking myself for hesitating. But I found another site wear I had bought another Primal Wear jersey. So I ordered it corssing my fingers that Iwouldn’t get an email saying they were out of stock. But I got an email saying they were going to ship the shirt today. YAY!
I am not sure if Primal Wear is discontinuing the shirt. They seem to change their designs often. But it seems like the tuxedo shirt would be popular. Maybe the long sleeve version isn’t as popular as the short sleeve version. Or maybe there was a run on long sleeve shirts due to the colder weather of winter. I don’t know. But hopefully I will be wearing my tuxedo shirt in March for the Shamrock Marathon. WHo knows…maybe it will be warm, and I can wear the short sleeve version. But I will still have the long sleeve version for other races anyway.
