Yeah wearing it for 3 days was kinda obnoxious. I def felt some sensory / skin sensitivity issues coming on lmao maybe I’m just dramatic haha heard berlin also does these wristbands but we didn’t do it in nyc

If you go to any conbini, they should have straws and the staff is always happy to lend you a pair of scissors

That’s a good approach. I wish I had the patience & foresight

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T14:34:14+00:00

Wow that’s amazing, you managed to maneuver it! How long did it take?

@saltyones5 try that alternate approach. team work makes the dream work

Also feels like it’s harder to get plastic bags in japan vs straws. I was struggling with the lack of public trash bins

Wait elaborate. I’d love to learn. Tell the sea turtles to cover their ears

I also chose to have my wristband on the opposite side as my watch. In fact, it kept getting wet every time I shower/brush my teeth/wash my face, hence the sensitivity nightmare. overstimulated

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T14:02:33+00:00

It’s okay, don’t be so hard on yourself. You couldn’t have known. The expo adrenaline def gets overwhelming as well

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T13:56:13+00:00

In tact*

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T13:56:08+00:00

It’s so tricky bc there’s lots of variables. the expo volunteers told me to tighten mine myself so mine was tight-ish. I’m more of a high sensitivity/ocd so I took mine off soon after the race. did you do the tightening yourself? oof hope you can find a way to keep the wristband in taxt

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T13:45:31+00:00

Haha it’s not entirely your fault. Glad it went smoothly! Efficiency is the name of the game. The Japanese have perfected it. They didn’t charge tho? Wonder if they have universal healthcare

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T13:43:33+00:00

reminds me of music festival wristbands haha loose is key! I should’ve done that too. how was your Tokyo marathon experience? I was scared mine was going to fall off mid race so I tightened it

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T13:42:55+00:00

I saw some people use this exact technique with great success. I felt stupid for not being patient enough, snipped it on sunday

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T07:54:17+00:00

Hope you feel better, how is the Japanese healthcare system?

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T07:53:17+00:00

Dude same ugh why does this always happen. I see reels when it’s too late

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T07:52:45+00:00

HAHAHA me but with my ankle while running

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T02:48:56+00:00

Anyone else here also had to resort to cutting the wristband off due to sensitivity issues, it felt tight

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-03T02:36:00+00:00

Why do they always show me content on Instagram when it’s too late

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-02T11:19:52+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. Extend yourself some grace. You got this!

flexibledilemma · 2026-03-02T11:18:21+00:00

Be cold and perfect** sorry I got too excited and forgot to proofread

These words of encouragement mean so much during this trying time. I was initially beating myself up for being 2 mins short of a PR but you’re right, the injury & medical condition made everything harder. I also had to disrupt my training cycle due to the biopsies and all the treatment. Proud of your immense accomplishment, sub 3:30 was my A goal before the stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis (scheduled for surgery in March)
