    Be a WINner

    Posted in Shopping, Spas & Sport, Sports by Erin Wylie on July 24th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    For some reason, I found myself incredibly excited for the Olympics to start on August 8. Have I watched—or read about—any of the qualifying events or athletes? No. Do I have a thing for men in spandex? Perhaps. But, I guess it all comes down to the contact high I get from watching someone nail a triple-quadruple-megaflip, or something equally impressive. And while I’ll never be able to perform like an athlete, I sure do sweat and smell like one.

    WIN

    So I was excited to put WIN—a super oxygenated high-performance sports detergent that bears the Olympic rings—to the test. Would I be able to run faster or reek of success after using it? More importantly, could it deodorize a pair of yoga pants that had been festering at the bottom of my dank, dark laundry bag for over a month? I washed them with WIN in my sink and they came out smelling like the world’s best Laundromat, with not a whiff of the dead-frog stench they previously bore. I wore them last night to class at Vira Yoga, and while I wasn’t giving off any amphibious odors, the detergent didn’t seem to offer any help in the headstand department—I stink.
