#EmbraceTheDetours Instagram Challenge: Week Three

 Week Three Challenge: Four-Legged Detours

Take me to:
Week Two Winner

Four Legged Detours

Your workout is planned, but your furry friend has other ideas. Maybe he’d rather run through the trees than stay on the trail, or maybe bath time turned into a ‘chase the wet dog’ dash. Snap a picture of you and your canine companion (or any favorite pet) the next time she leads you on a detour. Where did the unexpected adventure take you?

This week’s winner will receive our detour-ready, fast-drying Rogue Short ($49) or Rogue Skort ($64), plus a Mighty Bright Light ($15) for Fido.

Read on for how to enter.

#EmbraceTheDetours Instagram Challenge: Week Two

 Week Two Challenge: Gear Detours

Take me to:
Week One Winner

gear detoursOops! We open our gym bag at boot camp to find we haven’t packed a sports bra. We’re ready to head out for our lunchtime run only to discover we left our running shoes at home. Forgetting a key piece of gear for your workout is an unwelcome detour. Do you call it quits and head home, or get creative and make it happen anyway? No gear? No problem! Share a photo of yourself getting your workout done – even if you’ve forgotten an important piece of gear. 

This week’s winner gets a personalized bra fit with one of our expert bravangelists plus a Tech Athena Sports Bra (big-time support) or Uprise Pullover Sports Bra (for A & B gals) ($48-$54).

How To Enter

To enter, simply follow us on Instagram, post a photo of yourself getting it done despite your gear fail, and tag it #EmbraceTheDetours and @Title Nine. Photos for the Week Two Challenge must be submitted between Monday, March 14 at 12:01am and Sunday, March 20 at 11:59pm PDT and your Instagram account MUST be public during the contest or we are unable to view your submissions. Each week, one winner will receive an item of detour-ready gear from Title Nine. Multiple entries allowed, because we know detours happen every day!

Check the blog each Monday through April 4 to see the weekly winning photos. It could be your pic!

Week Two Winner:

week 2 winner

Week two winner – @lauralyntaylor: The only thing I REALLY want to be known as a “bad ass” for is as a mom. My son needs practice time dribbling and rebounding, so the ball is in the car always. If he wants to practice, we practice. Even after church. In a dress. And heels. Because one day when I’m old and gray and about to die, I want my son to look at me with his kids and say, “‘your grandma was one bad ass woman. I remember when…'”

No basketball shoes? No problem for Lauralyn. She didn’t let her lack of gear stop her from quality time with her son. That’s truly one “bad ass” way to #EmbraceTheDetours! Thanks to everyone who entered the GEAR DETOURS challenge. We got so many great ideas for how to get it done despite missing a key piece of gear: using old socks as arm warmers, lip balm as body glide, even wearing your infant twins as a weight belt! You are one resourceful bunch. We can’t wait to see what detours you embrace next.

#EmbraceTheDetours Instagram Challenge: Week One

 

Embrace the Detours

We’ve all been there: no sports bra in our gym bag means we swap that bouncy boot camp for Pilates instead. A hike with friends morphs into a walk with our toddler when the babysitter cancels. Our easy run turns into “squirrel-sprints” when our puppy refuses to slow down.

At Title Nine we welcome these wrong turns, these accidental adventures that send us down a new or unexpected path. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes welcomed, the detours in our lives are often where the most interesting stuff happens. We ‘embrace the suck’ when we’re training hard, we ‘embrace change’ when we’re given challenges in our life. We #EmbraceTheDetours.

We are celebrating detours this month by challenging you to show us the detours in your life and how you turn them into positives. Follow us on Instagram and check in each Monday, starting March 7, for a new #EmbraceTheDetours challenge and a chance to win detour-ready gear from Title Nine. Ready for your first challenge?
