Noodle Knees

Bike P0rn

Awww Yes! Feelin' g00d! More on that in a moment.

I'd like to interrupt our regularly scheduled program for some nudie pics. Bike Pr0n FTW! I forgot to attach a picture of my new shoes, neud carbon 66mm clinchers.

So anyhow, Peter over at Tripple Yadda had repeatedly mentioned something about a foam roller for IT Band issues. I've seen this a few times throughout my comments but was quick to dismis yet another marketing gimmick being force fed to wannabe atheletes on the next greatest thing to make them faster, stronger, last longer in bed yadda yadda yadda.

Taking the advice, I called the local running bandits store to see if I could find one of these alleged foam rolling devices. After a 10 minute speach on how this device will change my life forever, he got to the really good part: Are you F'in kidding me? 30 bucks for a peice of foam? So I went online to see what this thing looked like. I'm expecting some high-tech looking device with at least a little bling factor, maybe a built in MP3 player or Wireless internet connection. Nope, just a hunk of foam. Pffft, They can kiss my hairy white a$$ if they think I'm giving them more than 5 bucks for that.

To the drawing board.....

Upgrade.

I only needed it for my IT Band. I think if I wanted to use it for other rolling-cises I would need something a bit taller/thicker. This worked perfect for me, I even have enough noodle for a couple more. The foam is just soft enough to take the bite off the grinding of the leg. I noticed the effect immediately. I take back all the bad things I've said about Peter, that guy was actually right about something this time! Wow, I seen seemingly instant relief. I'm in Heaven! Heck, at this rate I'm feeling good enough to hit my bike ride tonight! Thank you so much for being so insistent that I buy into your 'As seen on TV' slap-chop gimmicks :) When I finished with the foam roller, I upgraded my design to something a little more hadkore. This worked even better, but you have to be ready to trade IT Band pain/tightness for bruised thighs lol. That is a just plain old Nalgene water bottle from our backpacking trips. I liked the foam pool noodle because it was 2 bucks and I get 3 rollers from it. This bottle was laying around, it might cost a few bucks more but worked better. I'm still in awe over the relief I'm getting from something so simple.
