Maui Jim wins the running stakes

I have spared you all for some time from Ironman talk but I was struck on Sunday by how good Maui Jim's sunglasses are for running.

Sunday was a blistering hot day and, having been for a cycle I realised my prescription cycling specs would be too heavy.

It's not often I go for the hat as well as sports specs. While that combo blocks out the sun it does make for a hot, sweaty and steamy mix so the eyewear has got to be right.

I'm not using orthok at the moment so --shock horror what eye wear to use. Of all the sporty Rxed specs I have the lightest by far are the Maui Jims. To be honest they are in my son's prescription as time has knocked a bit of minus off of mine so I nicked them back. Excellent vision and as light as a feather to boot.

Anyone who competes in long course events will tell you that makes a lot of difference on a long hot run.One less thing to worry about, clear vision and no messing about.

 I'll get a photo taken and post it up shortly.
