  • A little snort Fort and you never noticed the benifit. Have you tried it without a snort Fort? I guess it would be like slower without a snort. Is that something like I had a puff but did not inhale it. George, I know you're teasing, but GET REAL! Any normal person would not wish to have allergies and asthma. I was sick from mid-Dec. to mid-March this year with sinusitis and bronchitis. It completely destroys the quality of your life and does not in any way enhance racing or training. To the contrary! If someone is just taking a hit before they race and at no other time, Geek is right, they probably shouldn't be taking it at all. I only use an inhaler when I need it to breathe or fear not breathing. (Seeing imspoiled crawl out of the pool wheezing at zones is enough to scare anyone.) Unfortunately, I do think pools aggravate pre-existing respiratory problems or can trigger them. Pollen and ragweed too. Anything green or with fur, really. If you'd care to have my condition, it's FOR SALE!!! Now excuse me while I go take a hit before my early evening run. I'm still hacking and gasping. Oh, yes, I've raced plenty of times without an inhaler. Depends upon how my respiratory system is doing at that moment. FlyQueen, we FAFs may be lacking in the elongation category, but we can really rock our splits!! My lack of warm up did not even cause an injury. lol
