Racer X: Spinning Diapers

 Racer X

I'm always on the lookout for innovative ways to make my training more efficient. How else do you think I consistently place in the top 30% in my age group in the races where I don't DNF?

Over these past few days I have noticed that couch-jockey Americans seem to be infatuated with the fact that this poor astronaut woman wore astronaut diapers in carrying out her 900-mile astronaut drive as part of her bizarre astronaut love triangle.

But where the typical American asks, "Why?", I ask "Why not?" Where they see lame "Lust in Space" jokes I see a world of opportunities.

I won't get into details here, but this story has helped me devise a solution to my ongoing problem of how to spin on my trainer in my living room for 4-5 hours at a time without occasionally dismounting from my bike for bathroom breaks. It's an easy manuever when I'm riding outside but I can't afford to do anything in my apartment that will jeopardize my security deposit.

Will they fit under my bike shorts? Will they work? Depends.

Now it's time to do some isometric crunches and rock out:



Later,
Racer X
