Harmony Edge Touring Spray Skirt
Made with a waterproof, breathable fabric, The Harmony Edge Touring spray skirt sheds water like a duck's back. The deck is kept taut by an adjustable bowstay, so puddling and collapsing are not a problem. Fits most standard touring cockpits.

Decent skirt
This is a pretty serviceable touring skirt. The "utility" (beer) pocket on the front is a nice touch. The fabric does indeed shed water nicely. My only complaint is the Velcro waist. It's easy to get set up but it has to be done and undone everytime you take the skirt on and off, so over time the velcro (as it was on the demo skirt I was using) starts to wear and pulls itself apart if you staring making lunging motions or just a really hard full-on paddle.

Training Tips
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
