If you spend enough time moving outside you get hit by bugs... I mean insects (after working four summers in an entymology lab, I can't be making that mistake) all over. The little black ones that get balled up in your eye and you find them when you get home. The beetles that land on your leg and walk around for awhile. The distracting insect stuck in your ear. The bumble bee that goes down your sports bra if you forget to zip up your jersey all they way before the downhill. And the insect that gets either swallowed our spit out because you're breathing too hard to close your mouth.

Today I had a new one though (isn't life exciting!)-- a large fuzzy fly slammed into my right nostril. It was big enough that it stuck there like an unwelcome nostril plug. But not for long because I quickly turned my head and snorted it out. It took a couple more minutes and a snot rocket or two before I could completely shake the large-insect-stuck-in-my-nose feeling.
