Spring Break Race Idea and Race Discounts


Looking for a last minute Spring Break race?  Check out the Savannah Publix Women’s Half.

If you are driving back North, after spending time in the warmer, Southern States, this is practically on your way home and the timing couldn't be much better (the race is in less than a week)!


On Saturday, April 6th, women will have the opportunity to run down tree-lined streets, around 12 of the city's scenic squares in the historic district before a picture-perfect finish at Forsyth Park Fountain.  

Be sure to pose for that picture by the finish line before heading to the post-race party, which offers mimosas, music and so much fun.



Because of family schedules, I am unable to run this race as planned, this year, but if you would like to join in on the fun, use discount code BIBSAV20 to save 20% on your registration.

Review: Turtle Gloves


Disclaimer: I received a Turtle Gloves to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews.

Winter in Michigan can be brutal, especially if you enjoy running outside. February seemed to be extra painful, with the Polar Vortex and the incredible wind and below freezing temperatures. 


I received these gloves to test in late February, so I have had about three weeks to test this product. Each time I have tested these gloves, it has been below freezing. I have to remind myself of this as when it was 30* I was so excited to go for a run, acting like it was Spring. 

I started each run in regular glove mode. My fingers felt cold for the first mile (10-11 minutes) but once my body warmed up, so did my fingers and each time, I ended up needing to poke my fingers out because my hands were so hot (sweating hot). 


The gloves allow for the rolling down of the sleeve, so it can feel like fingers are covered in fleece with a little air sneaking in or you can roll them down completely and have fingers exposed. I have had to wash them a few times (regular, cold water) with the rest of my running clothes and they came out just fine.


For me, the main appeal to these gloves is the ability to stick my fingers out. I have problems taking pictures, skipping songs on my AfterShokz, etc with regular gloves and mittens, so the ability to flip the mitten style to a long sleeve or to allow my fingers to be free was very nice. 

When I received my pair of Turtle Gloves, I was excited to learn that they are made in Michigan! Therefore, as a Michigander, I was even more excited to test Turtle Gloves!

 

These gloves come in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes.  To purchase, visit Turtle Gloves and use discount code "TurtleBibRave" for 15% Off.
