Simple Hydration - Check this out!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1708318461/simple-hydration-water-bottle-for-runners-active-i
I just saw this and thought how great is this idea. For me personally I would see if I can use this during my marathon races as hydration at times is an issue for me. I find myself not drinking enough water during certain stations either because the cups are poorly filled or just not slowing down to grab 1-2 cups as needed.
This 13oz if comfortable can easily stay on my back side with no belts etc and I can use the 13oz appropriately through out the 26.2 miles when I feel I need more fluids.
It might even be good on a run of 8-10 miles but probably not much more. Many of my GA and tempo runs fall in that category and I tend to either carry handheld or leave water ouside my house and pick up a bottle on the run drink some then toss.
What are your thoughts?

Re: Simple Hydration - Check this out!
Do you lube the bottom of that thing up and insert it or something?
: )
OK, I checked out the photo on the website. Believe it or not, I once saw a guy carrying a 20 oz. bottle of gatorade in his shorts this way, and was amazed.
Frankly, this would not work for me.

Didn't seem like a good idea to me until he pointed out that it works with a simply non-hydration running belt. That may be a good answer.

I just don't see myself carrying water in a supported race.

Re: Simple Hydration - Check this out!
Why am I not surprised that Kenny found this?
Additional questions:
Does it come shipped in an unmarked box, or a velevet bag?
Do I need to go behind the curtain to purchase one?
Will it spice up my running realtionship?
That is a disturbing comment on so many different levels.

Re: Simple Hydration - Check this out!
And imagine if you saw a hottie drinking from that, say at mile 22 in a marathon? What if she used it to douse herself?
Is it possible to pop a tent after one hits the wall?

More disturbing comments.
I guess this is the one water bottle that you can carry on your person while keeping your hands free during one of "clothing optional" runs.
Man I'm killing myslef here.

I'll stick to my oversized hydration belt/pack and/or Camelback.

Some funny comments. It could look pretty funny if it is dangling in the front of your shorts. I am willing to buy it and try it and report back. Not sure when it goes on sale.
Re: Simple Hydration - Check this out!
I'd definitely be lubing that sucker up with Body Glide, if I were you.
