That's just how it felt, Denise. One with my bike. We worked together. It was a great ride. My first race with aero bars, which made me feel the bike and I were one. I loved it.Quote:

Yeah, my tummy pudges out but screw it. If you're breathing properly, your tummy bulges anyway. Bibshorts/suits actually hide the love handles better because there is no elastic pinching at the waist.
Seriously, that body looks great and it deserves to be shown off. Look around in real life (not just the tri's). How many younger women are flaunting muffin tops?
Now do it or I'll sic Bubba on you.
HA! NOT BUBBA! :eek: :p :D
That is so true about the "muffin tops". Young women come in for their gyne check ups with me, and they got stuff showing everywhere! They don't look bad, because they clearly put a lot of attention into how they dressed. But their clothes just look too small! I want to say--"sweetie, your FAT is sticking out all over the place!" Of course I don't say a thing.
Well. OK. Trisuit it is next time. I think I have a very blurry picture taken of me with a cell phone, running from the swim in my trisuit a year ago last spring, let's see...
You look great! What tummy? I don't see no tummy.
The secret is extreeemly poor photo quality! :p Of course, I remember that I was also freezing. It was about 50 degrees out, in May, coming from a nice warm pool swim. All of my internal organ might have shrunk in the cold, pulling in the fat...how's that for a theory? Two degrees in science, thank you very much!Quote:
