Deuter's Nordic 1

I thank God for creating me as me. I have a high pain/stretch tolerance level. I can endure muscle pain for a long time without pain killers...of course the feeling sucks but I can manage somehow. Also, I observed that I can run 10K++ without hydration. What I do is I drink a lot of water before running then drink tons after. The downside is, I lose/waste muscles. And so I considered wearing hydration belts. I don’t bring hydration belts with me in official races since fuels are provided generously every 2K.

I’ve been eyeing these hydration belts from Nike. They’re cool. They’re nice. They’re Nike.--- I love everything about Nike! I think they’re excellent---one of my self-considered Super brands. It is known worldwide, the brand embodies superior performance, the logo reflects class and exclusivity. If Nike isn’t, it won’t be endorsed by excellent athletes [Michael Jordan, Manny Pacquiao etc.]

Going back to hydration, I can’t find them in our local Nike Parks, always out of stock. Am gonna need a better fuel belt for my long distance TBR Dream Marathon Training. I’m considering a high capacity single flask fuel belt and I found this: Deuter Nordic 1.

A hip pack made by Deuter which carries one big flask, designed for long distance PR’s and 2 pockets: one small pocket on the right side for car keys, ID’s and small stuffs; and a bigger zip-enabled pocket on the left side for gels, food, a cheeseburger and even a digital camera [if you want to capture the thrill of the trail]. Just one checkpoint: it doesn’t come with a flask. You actually have to purchase one or buy your favourite bottled energy drink from 7-11 for it. Luckily, my Fitness First tumbler which I never really used fits perfectly in it. Designed professionally, it is also very lightweight ‘like there’s nothing there.’ haha kidding. 4.5 diamonds for Deuter’s Nordic 1.
