More Mont awesomeness - 10:23
New and Old Zing Vests (fullsize)
|
By far one of my favourite pieces of clothing is my Mont Zing Vest, I bought
my first
back in March 2006, then it was
shredded in
a crash in April 2008, I had however bought a second vest at that point, in
yellow. Most cycling vests have mesh backs, I dislike these as I wear my vest
to paddle and a waterproof back is great paddling. Also for warmth year round
in all manner of activities (running, rogaines, etc) the lack of mesh is a
bonus I think.
Due to the fact I use the vest so often through the colder months it is often
damp or wet when I want to use it (soaking from paddling to ride home in
winter, or from wearing for a run to get home), thus I was keen to get a few
more. Mont are a great company and Dave has been very
nice to me
in the past. They had run out of Zing vests in my size and I had been asking
Dave when I would be able to buy two more for a while. He had some ready for
the yearly sale that is on next week and told me to come visit. However he had
only had yellow vests made, which I was keen to buy another one of, I was
however hoping for some colour variety. Dave then offered to make a few out of
whatever colour Hydronaute ultra they had in the factory. Sure it is not pink
but I am definitely
partial to
purple
too so I was excited to be able to get two brand new vests in purple.
Did the Ainslie run up at lunch today, was letting my HR creep above 180 and
then remembered I should not be going too hard so backed it off to 176 or so
for the rest of the run up. Still did 15:16 which I thought was alright.
