I picked up a copy of the relaunched Mountain Bike Quarterly (Spring 2004) at my local newsstand. Mostly I found this "new and improved" magazine to be a steaming portion of S.O.S. (the Same Old Stuff). But far in the back (pages 108-109), in an article about Skills Camps ("Schooled" by Gina DeMillo) was this little nugget of gold:
At the end of her first season, (Alison Dunlap) raced the Collegiate Nationals, where the guys on her team decided to give her some advice.
"This was the biggest event I'd done in my life and I was scared out of my brain. Literally 10 minutes before the start, this guy I had the biggest crush on comes up to me and says, 'I don't know how to tell you this, but you're not supposed to wear underwear under your bike shorts.' Our shorts had white panels down the sides, so I'm sure he could see the color of the flowers on my panties. I was horrified."
Like any champ, Alison didn't let it get her down. She ran to a Port-A-Potty, took the underwear off and stashed them in her jersey pocket for the entire race.
I love that story!
Alison, if you read these boards, PM me. I'll send you a free T-shirt from the Underwear Nazi Store (http://www.cafeshops.com/underwearnazi)
