I raced in an off-road duathlon this morning. The temperatures were in the low to mid 40’s. Most of my running has been on the treadmill, with very little outside. The little that I have done outside was in the summer when I could wear dri-fit shorts and a short-sleeve compression shirt. But it was too cold for me to wear these. So I bought some Under Armor Cold Gear compression leggings and compression top. I never had an opportunity to try them out, so I just crossed my fingers and hoped they worked out. I was hoping that I wouldn’t be cold, but also that I wouldn’t be too warm.
Well, they worked like a charm! They were comfortable. I wore some sweats over the Cold Gear while waiting for the start. A little bit before the start I stripped off the sweats, and waited. It was a little chilly. But as soon as I got running, I felt fine. I was also a little concerned that when I was biking, that the wind would chill me through the Cold Gear fabric, but I didn’t notice anything like that. I was very happy with the Under Armor Cold Gear. I am sure I will get more opportunities to use them for fall, and later spring bike rides.
