First of all, I knew that I needed a sports bra. For a recreational ride, I'm fine with what I have, but to truly get an aerobic workout the sports bra would help. I also have the hope that a sports bra may make those tight bike jerseys look and fit a little better too. I'll leave it at that!
After multiple unsuccessful attempts at finding anything near my size I resorted to online shopping. I found one that I hoped would work. Unfortunately, it was only available in black. Oh well. It is what it is. If it fits and holds me enough, I'll suffer through the outfit faux pas of wearing a black bra under a white shirt.
While I waited for the bra to arrive, we headed to Dallas for the MS 150. As Pete was registered as a rider, he got the usual rider packet complete with coupons for local stores. In Houston, there were lots of coupons, but we had no time to shop. Sadly, in Dallas, we only had two coupons. Pete wanted to go to Richardson Bike Mart (the shop that sponsored Lance Armstrong.) We made it our first stop. Here I tried on shoes, but didn't have much luck. It's tough not knowing what they should feel like and even more tough when you have a wide foot like mine. I'll keep trying shoes on until I find the right ones.
Then we headed to Ft. Worth to go to the Pearl Izumi outlet who had supplied a coupon in the rider packets. Here, I found two jerseys that fit good enough. And they were both in blue! On top of that, they were each under $50 and then I had a 15% off coupon. Can't argue with that deal when a jersey is usually $80-100! So, I walked out of the outlet with two jerseys, another pair of gloves, and another pair of socks. I would have like to get a pair of shorts, but they didn't have any in my size.
All of the above for $164.86 added to my totals below...
