An injury forced me to cancel my plans to run in the 5k race at White Thorn Lodge this summer, but I was able to participate in the Bare Dare 5k at Caliente. Being from the northern US, I had to adjust my plans following the hot weather advice given earlier in this forum. The temperature was about 75 and humidity approached 90 to 100 percent, conditions to which I am not accustomed. I had flown in the day before the race, so there was no time to acclimate to these conditions. I scaled back my pace and walked several times in the last mile. This was my first nude race although I have run naked before. It was a great experience and I would love to do it again. The race organization was very well done. I wear the tee-shirt proudly.
Hey, Openrange - Don't give up and try running again. There are lots of secluded parks that you can run at.I prefer to bike naked. I can pick a secluded section of rail trail, ride a few miles out to town, disrobe and ride.Pick a section of trail you know and have riden before so you know where any houses and crossroads are. on most trails you can see 1/2 mi ahead to see if there are anyone ahead. My shorts are on the handlebars. Last summer I get in a 20 mi naked bike trip down and back on one of my favorite trails.
I'm doing the 5K at whispering Pines. I've done the one at White Tail and Cedar creek this year already. I've got a whole shelf of nude race t-shirts
I was there in 2012. Would have seen you unless you were one of the fast ones. Then you would have seen me when you lapped me!
trione - I have considered going to SF for the Bay to Breakers in the past and I would have to run it naked, since its probably a once in a lifetime chance for me. One reservation I have is having my picture taken and posted all over the web. The picture thing doesn't bother me, but the posting does. How did you deal with this?
We recently returned from a trip to St. Martin and a stay at Club Orient. There, I was able to run around the resort and part of Orient Beach naked. Beach running outside the limits of the Club O is restricted to early morning. I never went past where other were already walking nude so as not to ruin my vacation with a confrontation with police.
