    Making the commitment: wardrobe!

    This year, I'm gonna tri in *real* tri clothes.

    I don't even plan to wear my skirt!!!!!

    Already put a nice LONG inseam pair of tri-shorts (with gel pockets and a key pocket!) into my TE shopping bag. Now I'm trying to choose a sleeveless full tank. I yearn and lust with burning passion for this one http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=22867 but there are none in my size.

    Ah, the beauty of one simple bright color and black trim. Oh, the serenity of the side pockets. Oooh, the joy of a high neck and full shoulders.

    sniffle. Only S and XS left... I like it so much. Susan... can you get more?

    Pretty! I have the Desoto Rapida though that one looks like it's going away. The top is long enough and the shorts are comfy.

    We should start swimming as soon as it's warm enough! That and riding, I am such a cold weather wuss.

    The sugoi tops are kinda short. So even thought they are supposed to be full coverage, my belly hangs out.

    I'm in love with 2XU right now.

    Is the 2XU long? Is there only one or is there a model name/number? Maybe the day will come when I feel comfy exposing myself but for now, tummy stays covered

    The 2XU tops are longer than the Sugoi tops I've had. I tried to pull up the 2XU website to look up product names and numbers and I got frustrated because it was so slow.

    Knott, this looks really nice and seems like a good deal.

    I've got the other Louis Garneau full coverage shoulder top in my TE shopping basket, too. http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=23437 It's not exactly what I want, but if those Sugoi tops are short those are really NOT gonna work for me. The LG might be the way to go. (I'm kinda on the long side)

    The LG is nice looking. Not to enable or anything

    Well, then there's this:http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=22518 It's not really a tri top, and it isn't a full tank (it's a racer back) nor high neck, but it is my beloved CWX.

    I might have to call TE customer service and ask if they think it'd be groovy in a tri.

    Or maybe I should just get the Louis Garneau... (and another CWX bra, just because!)

    No, you don't *have* to buy more stuff...

    I did all my tri-stuff in a Terry commuter skort, CWX bra, and a shirt.

    This just means one has the opportunity to shop!

    http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=26608

    Can you wear all that stuff under a wetsuit? I can't quite figure out that part...

    If this chickie's waist and belly are hanging out, does that mean mine would be all over the place, unfettered and free? http://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=22671

    Uh-oh...

    Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Now if I could just lose that last 7 lbs by August....

    (You mean I won't look just like her if I buy that tri suit?? )

    Nope, not under the wetsuit. I swam in the bra and a pair of UnderArmour shorts, then took off the wetsuit and put on the tank and skort over the bra and shorts.

    This year I wanna do the tri shorts and tri sleeveless top (with my CWX bra, cuz it is the best friend of my two dependents). No wardrobe changes other than shoes.

    Cuz that'll take 30 minutes off my time, right?
