Kinda Bummed

So I finally, thanks to Misty, found some apparel that I really, really adore. I almost don't want to share this info, because every plus-sized athlete might buy up the goods before I can stock up!

I had gone to Moving Comfort's site this morning to check out the MCW line, their plus-size apparel. In some things I still need a 1x and their stuff fits perfect and performs well! Anyway I go out to their site and do a search for MCW and nothing... nada... zilch!

I immediately clicked the contact us button and asked, "Where did MCW go? They quickly replied (so nice of them):

"Thank you for your inquiry. We did not carryover the MCW product into our Fall 09 season, however, you can still find some of the MCW product through our retailers... We will not have a separate MCW line anymore, however, we will still be producing some styles in 1X and 2X sizes for Spring 2010..."



Okay, I mean I see that they'll still carry stuff in my size, but "some" styles, probably means nothing but black and white -- guess it's better than nothing. :(

Find your retailers and stock up girls... stock up.

What's happening THIS week.

Image
This week started out with a *bang* yesterday doing the 70.3 in Galveston.  Now, if I'm keeping it real, I only trained about a month for the swim so I wasn't completely deserving of a great swim time.  I'm good with that.  You get out what you put in.

It was a really tough race for everyone, including the pros, who were rolling behind their normal performance (so they say).  The swim was the easiest of all the years I've done this race, and my my worst time.  In the end the swim took me 48 minutes.  I think my best time in Galveston was 43.

The swim was wetsuit optional and I chose to move to the wetsuit wave.  With 50+ relays, we weren't in contention for anything, so we kept it light and fun.  I was a bit uncomfortable until the first turn, but then found my pace.  I swam, what seemed, pretty darned straight.  So straight that I wished I wore my Garmin.  And I didn't wear my Garmin, well, because I didn't want to suck the fun out of it. and see bad data…

I Loved It! Moving Comfort Compression Running Shorts

Image
Thanks to Misty over at the Athena Diaries, I have a new love! The Moving Comfort MCW Compression Running Short.

I have been a long-time fan of MC's sports bras; they are a less expensive alternative to the Enell and keep *things* in place just as well. The Maia is my favorite -- I swim, bike and run in them without any discomfort. I am still on the hunt for a good high impact racer-back bra for a D.

I ordered my shorts but was on the fence with regard to sizing. I call the folks up at Moving Comfort and they were nice and helpful. The customer service rep suggested the MCW version, when I told her my issues and how I am right on the tail end of regular sizes. So I went with their a "MCW" collection. I'm glad I did.

It was nice to know that the MCW version was exactly the same tech-wear, just sized for the fuller figure and 1/2" longer. I really appreciated that the fit wasn't just a larger size of the regular sized version. They took into account the areas plu…
