My love of WHOOHA

I know, I know... my title alone could possibly lead to a crazy plethora of comments.  No, this post isn't going to be about a body part.  Or a crazy spin class attendee (ha... I miss the gym and the crazies that I used to share my love of working out with).  This is a post about something I love.  And when I love something, I want to tell you all about it.

Before I get to gushing about WHOOHA, let me tell you about something I'm not gushing about... our race this past weekend.  How can a race where my hubby had the escort motorcycle in the bike and finish first over all and I finished 2nd overall female (and was the 3rd fastest biker overall) be something I'm not gushing about?  I'll spare you the details. :)  Let's just say the work we did was good - nice hard training day.  The work the race company did, eh, left a little to be desired.  Oh well.  We gave them a fair shot and as a local triathlete, that's all I can do.  Frees up some weekends next year!

Alright, back to gushing.  I found a company that I absolutely love.  And you need to know about it.

WHOOHA GEAR

So what's with the name right?  WHOOHA actually stands for Women Having Optimistic Objectives & Healthy Attitudes.  Love it already, don't you?  Wait till I get to their products.  So they are a company that makes the most adorable clothes for active women.  (Men, don't stop reading yet.  I know you have girlfriends, wives, sisters, favorite bloggers like me, etc. that you need to buy Christmas presents for and hello, Christmas is only in 137 days - why not get a head start). Two women, who inspire each other through their daily lives, started the company and continue to help other women.

Last year, my hubby Santa got me a few shirts from WHOOHA Gear and I instantly fell in love.  Great cuts, great material and even better sayings.  They have inspirational shirts, running, swimming, biking, tri shirts, outdoor themes, etc.  They have tee shirts, long sleeves, tanks, wicking shirts, bags, thongs, you name it.  And I've yet to find one that I don't love.

I recently bought the "I Ride" Heathered Tee for myself.  

 It simply says "I ride..." and then is followed by all the reasons that I in fact ride...

• for those who can't
• to spin out my frustrations
• to stay fit
• to be aware of the world around me
• to hear myself breath
• to look at phat butts
• to celebrate my freedom
• for the challenge
• to save on gas
• to feel the sun and the wind
• to beat the boys
• to clear my head
• to be part of something
• to go real fast
• to get to where I'm going
• so I can eat a lot of cookie dough
• to feel alive
• to feel young again
• to escape
• to feel my heart and feed my soul
• for myself

Perfect.  Absolutely perfect.  I also have the "I Tri" shirt which is the same concept and just as cute reasons (I especially love "so I can have my cake and eat it too").  I loved it enough that I bought one for my friend's birthday, knowing she'd love it!  When I placed my order, I told WHOOHA how big of a fan I've become and Julie graciously sent me one of their newest designs to try out.

That one didn't disappoint either.  She sent me the "Inspire Yourself" Burnout Tee and it's awesome!

Their new line includes some great inspirational quotes ("Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", an Apache blessing, A Robert Frost quote)   The sizing of the burnout tee runs a little small, but I got a medium and if fits great.  You can't really tell, but it too has a great set of inspirational words surrounding the main "Inspire Yourself".

You know, when I'm feeling kind of lost in this crazy world of training, these shirts just make me smile.  WHOOHA Gear reminds me of how strong I am, how courageous I am, and how much I love doing what I do.  I wouldn't rave about WHOOHA Gear if I didn't think that every woman who lays eyes on their stuff will instantly find one (or two or in my case five) that they must have.

So there, that's my WHOOHA Gear PSA for the day.  Go get yourself one.  Tell your hubby Santa that you'd like one.  Don't have a girl to buy one for?  Okay, I'll help out.  I'm a size Medium and I love them all. And, if you use the code INSPIRE, you get 10% off.  Tell them I sent you. :)
