Snortkles

Dryland was very different today. How?
We had to wear our snorkles. Yes. Snorkles.
While we ran, we wore them. Pushups, we wore them. Everything, we wore them.
Half-way through the workout, coach made us strap tape over the opening, and punched a small hole through the tape, so we'll get SOME air.

Then we did full-out sprints.
Some laps around the Huntsman Center.
Push-ups.
More running.

All the while, we are not allowed to take it out of our mouth. (The point of the entire thing is to teach us to breathe in our mouth, out our nose. Then the smaller opening was to help us to keep our bodies under control even though we don't feel like we're getting enough air.)

There's one small problem of not being able to take the snorkel out of our mouth and breathing out of our nose. It's cold outside. Everyone's getting the sniffles. We're already drooling from the snorkel which is preventing us from closing our mouths.

Snot.

Lots of it.
Pouring down everyone's faces. No way to sniff it back up. No way to wipe it away, since the snorkel is obstructing our sleeves or hands to get to our nose.

Yup. Dryland was interesting today, as can be expected.
