26.2 miles, 26.2 thoughts: Part 10
Vaseline DOES grow on trees
Courtesy of the extra-thoughtful race organizers, there were a few trees along the course with Vaseline posters tied to them. Just when I was starting to feel the inside of my right arm start to rub against my shirt in a not-so-pleasant way, I discovered one of these trees. The timing could not have been better, and I made it through the race without any chafing. Next time, I’ll remember to put some extra Body Glide in that spot, but I’m glad my oversight wasn’t a problem in this case. Thanks, race organizers!
