My First Pair of Compression Socks

I never did feel like wearing them, because, well ... I just thought they didn't look very cool, those long calves-covering tight socks. But after hearing Peter Maximus glorify them like he did, last week, I discovered some really cool looking ones: Compress Sport. They're tubulars - without a 'footie' - and I will wear them both on the bike and on the run. They look great, Alberto Juantoreno-style. What they promise me is less lactate acid build-up, less fatigue and thus better performance and faster recovery. By tomorrow this time, we'll know if they perform as well as they look ...

A newbee on the circuit. Only at its second edition, but a very promising and beautiful race. I hope to make this my best race of the year.
