Te Rocks

as if we didn't already know that.

I put my order in for some body glide, speed laces and tri shorts on Tuesday
and got them in the mail today! Unbelievable :D

I guess I have to give a little credit to the USPS too.

I tried on the tri shorts and I think they are going to work well although the grips around the leg feel a little snug (and I don't have big legs)

I got the tyr's w/ a 4" inseam - long enough to cover and short enough to hold less water. One less thing now to worry about in transition :D

Woo hoo! Enjoy your tri shots (and body glide and speed laces). The leg grippers always seemed snug to me at first, but now when I wear shorts w/out them it feels weird. Sounds like you're good to go for next weekend!!! When will your wetsuit arrive??

Not soon enough! it is only coming from Minnesota - 1 state away and it will be 4-5 days! TE was 1/2 a continent away and got here in 2 days :mad: I am hoping fri or Sat but expecting more Monday, will be really antsy if it isn't here Tu.

I have a waterski one I have borrowed just to get used to the cold temps. We have a river dip planned for tomorrow or Sat. I haven't done it yet. the goal of these is just to get in and adjust to the cold, not to swim.

My tri partners did one a couple of weeks ago before the rains hit and the water temps were 56 degrees. They only lasted 9 minutes. Then they did one in the big river (Missouri) that was a little warmer and they lasted 20 min. brrrrr - we had better get some sun by next week! I am NOT looking forward to this part of the training.

The swim for the tri is in a marina fed by the river. there won't be much current to speak of and hopefully it will be warmer than the actual river.
