Default Eyes watering???

Does anybody else have the issue in the middle of a race with there eyes watering? My eyes feel like a river after a decent run.
Is it concentration levels.. the light?

Get your eyes tested, used to have the same problem. Always thought it was to do with the wind or sunshine, but found out that one of my eyes is not as good as the other so ended up straining with the inbalance. Either that or try some decent sunglasses with light reactive lenses so when the cloud comes you can still see where your going!!

I had the same problem. Just close your eyes when racing, sorted. Or alternatively pull a bumface as soon as you get on the rostrum, and look through the little squinty gaps.

I've had glasses for a few months now and I can't remember when I didn't cry during intense races lol

I also suffer from sweaty hands. I often find my tranny slipping down even with my KO esprit II with the little tabs on the back and my steering thumb falls off the tip and I end up using the knuckle to steer.

Because your not blinking your eyes are drying out, so they make tears to lubricate themselves. You need eye drops from the chemist. Ask for hypro mellose. A few drops keeps your eyes moist so you will see better. This was an old post same subject.

If you cant afford the drops then you need a mate to help you moisten your eyes like this

works for me
