Pretty

[Veronica]

I want to do triathalon just for the clothes.

So this would probably be totally unattractive, but I like it.

I'd look like a bag of mashed potatoes wrapped in rubber bands in that outfit.

Veronica,

You're hanging around the tri geeks an awful lot for some one who doesn't understand why anyone would bother running. Are we really getting to you. If you think that's pretty, you should try on a wetsuit. No-one looks bad in a wetsuit, everyone looks amazing: sleek, fast, strong. And there's something special about skin tight black rubber.

[KnottedYet]

Oooh, yeah....

The wetsuit is my friend!

So are Terry bicycling skorts! They hide many flaws. I wore mine in the Danskin tri.

Oooh, now they make a cargo skort, too!

V, get the tri suit, it will be fun!

[Trek420]

so you'd wear that in all three sports or just on the swim leg?

knott, that's not a wetsuit ;-)

Well, the wetsuit pictures I have were taken by Brightroom, and I wasn't gonna post a link to those because that'd be infringing on the photographer's artistic rights.
But the Terry skort does make me look better than plain ol' bike shorts would.

And V, all the chickies I've ever seen wearing one piece tri suits looked just lovely! All long visual lines and lean!

Trek- you wear the tri suit in all 3 legs. As Sally Edwards says " there are no costume changes during a tri." ('cept I put on my skort after the swim, over my under armor compression shorts)

But.... a skort is not aero...

then again turning around to check if your butt is fat (sorry no inference on anyone present) is not aero either.

[KnottedYet]

Nope, not aero at all! It flaps wildly in the wind as you sing at the top of your lungs, merrily passing all and sundry during the bike leg!

(oh, so much fun! )

Veronica...

Resistance is futile...

Prepare to be assimiliated...

Your distinctiveness will be added to our own...

[Pax]

Is there any such thing as a buddy-type tri, where someone else does the leg you can't do? I swim like a fish and, well I bike like a fish too but at least I can still do that I just can't run (too many knee surgeries). However my SO runs and bikes but can't swim...we'd make a great buddy team.

[Bluetree]

Queen...

Yes, many tris have what's called "relay teams" where each person does a different leg. The team pricing is higher overall, but cheaper per person. Looks like fun!

And for pairs, there's always Muddy Buddy!

Thanks! I might have to look into those as I get in better shape.

Veronica,

I'm very goal oriented. Last year's goal - double centuries.

This year's goal - ???? I am so ambivalent about training right now.


Tris have been in my head for awhile. I was a distance swimmer in college. I did X Country in high school. Okay, so that was a bizillion years ago. I figure at some point it will happen.

I found an all women's tri in California. It's the same weekend as the Mount Tam Double unfortunately.

I still don't like running though.

V,

This one's local, sprint distance ....

My knees are shot, if I ever tri'd it would have to be something that I could walk the run part.

[Veronica]

Thanks Trek. Don't encourage me.

That's Waves to Wine weekend, which I'm hoping lots of TE folks from all over will join us on.
