Well now that I’ve raced a few times in my Coeur Sports kit, I’ve been getting questions about how I like it. \u00a0Full disclosure, I’m a member of Team Coeur for 2015, so I am biased. \u00a0But they don’t require me to do a kit review, I just want to share what I love about this kit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This review is\u00a0of the\u00a0very adorable triathlon kit<\/a> in the Monaco Grand Prix design.<\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a>
This is me on a trainer wearing my Coeur Sports tri kit. Yes, that’s a cat tree behind me. \u00a0And this might be the best selfie I’ve ever taken of myself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m going to start at the bottom, because I think the tri shorts are amazing.<\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a><\/p>\n

This particular pair is a size large, which works on me, but I prefer the XL because they make my legs look less like sausages. \u00a0Either fits well enough though. \u00a0And hey, I chose a sport that requires spandex. \u00a0I love that the little grippy parts are the Coeur name. \u00a0I think that’s adorable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a><\/p>\n

The shorts have three little pockets on the back. \u00a0They’re small and lay flat, which I love, but they hold small items like a gel, a sunscreen wipe (critical) or lip balm (even more critical).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This. \u00a0This is the key to these shorts and what makes them so glorious. \u00a0That chamois looks funny, but because it continues all the way down the leg, there is no spot for it to chafe your thighs as you pedal or run. \u00a0It’s perfect. \u00a0Absolutely perfect and I’m just waiting to see other companies doing something similar. \u00a0The chamois is thin, but does what it needs to without making you feel like you’re running in a diaper. \u00a0It’s a win all around.<\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a><\/p>\n

The top, as you can tell, is on the longer side, and this is something I love. \u00a0No issue with it riding up as I cycle. \u00a0Plus, well, I have a few more curves for it to get around, so the added fabric is a good thing. \u00a0I wear the XL and my chest wouldn’t fit in a smaller size. \u00a0It’s tight, but not uncomfortably so. \u00a0The fabric is incredibly light and thin, but provides excellent coverage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, pockets! \u00a0These are much bigger and if you wanted to, you could put your phone in there (though I wouldn’t do so while running since there’s nothing to hold the pocket closed). \u00a0Tri kits need more pockets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Coeur<\/a><\/p>\n

The Coeur tops do have a built-in bra. \u00a0I wear a 36G. \u00a0A built in bra is useless for me. \u00a0Sometimes I cut them out of kits, but I actually like how this one hugs around my bra and keeps the top from shifting around more than I want it to. \u00a0If you can wear the top without a bra, I am jealous, but for those of you who can’t, I’ve seen a lot of ladies wear this top with a racerback bra. \u00a0I actually wear mine with my Enell bra, making sure to save the pretty colors for race day. \u00a0It shows around the front and definitely in the back, but it definitely doesn’t look bad, and well, it’s way better than bouncing around everywhere.<\/p>\n

I love Coeur Sports because the products are great and I love what they stand for. \u00a0The kit fits incredibly well and takes care of a lot of the issues I’ve had with other kits, namely chafing and a\u00a0too-short top. \u00a0The ladies of Coeur are fabulous\u00a0and always there to answer any questions you might have. \u00a0 And don’t worry, fellow Athenas. \u00a0They’re working to get larger sizes into their store!<\/p>\n

Plus I love this from our “about us” page:<\/p>\n

Coeur is French for heart & the root of the word courage. And that\u2019s what we put into our collections and our sport. As an athlete, you know that athletic performance is about so<\/b> much more than genetic talent. Its also about heart. Heart is about digging deep and being mentally tough. Heart is what gets you to the finish line when all the body wants to do is lay down.\u00a0 Heart is at the center of the community and the friendships you find in sport. Heart is what makes you give back to the community that has given you so much.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is one of the reasons I love triathlon. \u00a0It’s a sport that gives back to the other competitors in a way that I haven’t seen in other sports. \u00a0It’s a sport where fast finishers cheer on the slow finishers and where we all feel the heartache of a DNF. \u00a0 At my last race, as I was slogging through the miles, a fellow Coeur athlete called out to me “Heart and Courage!” and she was right. \u00a0That’s what the sport is really about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
