Love the Skins you're in...

Today was the culmination of my "hard" week, meaning it was the last day of week 4 of a 4 week build. Yesterday's ride was pretty tough, and I felt good about the effort I was able to sustain. When I got home, I was pretty destroyed. As soon as I got in the front door I collapsed on a chair and couldn't move for awhile. Once I got going, I took a shower, ate some food, and got into my Skins compression tights. I gotta say, I am amazed at what a difference I feel after wearing these. Last year, a ride like yesterday's would've left my legs achy and sore. But, after wearing my Skins for several hours my legs felt awesome! So now I'm even more anxious for their Cycle line to be available in the US...I can't even imagine.

Sounds like the skins are definitely the way to go for the pro. I bet they would be great for the marathon training too. This makes me wish I had been able to put on a pair after that last marathon...legs were achy for days!

Hey Erin, can you get any deals on Skins products? Do you use these while you work out or only after?

Hey Mike,
I'm not sure if I get deals for friends and family. I will inquire...When I run or lift weights, I will wear them. But, for cycling I only wear them after since they aren't too comfortable to wear on the bike. They do have a cycling specific line that will be available in the US this spring.
