    Tri Suit question

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I ordered, it came....and the question is,

    How tight should that sucker be?
    I want it tight right?????
    It seems to fit ok, but there is no way I can do the back zipper myself. It is normally a 2 person job?

    ok....going to do lots of sit-ups.....

    You made me laugh out loud with the Yoda bit. Are you trying to imply something about my appearance? I do wear a lot of green.

    Yes, it should be very tight. You should have to do a wetsuit dance to get into it and often the zipper thing is a 2 person job. I can do my own zipper, but my shoulders are pretty bendy, my husband always needs help.

    You might want to do a search on this site for wetsuits, someone else bought one recently and had similar questions. She got a whole host of replies with tons of great advice, like wearing running gloves/liners while putting it on to avoid ripping the neoprene with fingernails.

    I'm really bored today. I'm already done my one workout for the day and I don't have many clients today. What do normal people do to keep themselves amused. I'm floating around here on TE.

    I'm gonna start a new thread for photos with people in their suits. I won't post one, I don't have a camera right now. Yeah, that's the ticket.

    A tri suit or a wet suit?

    If you're talking about a wet suit, yes it should be quite tight. I've seen many people with a zipper-pull extension so they can zip and unzip it themselves more easily.

    Regarding the tri suit... Yes it should be tight too. But I'm not sure about the zipper thing!!

    Thanks...the Yoda comment was for your wisdom...I was gonna call you Obe Wan ...But I have No freakin' idea how to spell that one.

    So DH came home and zipped me up. It fits. It is the shelf bra inside that is making the zip up hard.

    I look like a little sea otter in it...Ha!!!

    And that was me with all of the dorky wetsuit questions. It is going to be some dance...wiggle, wiggle Tri suit...wiggle ,wiggle wet suit...

    BTW I did a nice little work out with some weights and my swiss ball and some little cardio bursts, and I am feeling less blah and droopy...

    Oh and I think there is wine for dinner tonight....

    Ooops, tri-suit/wetsuit, what's the diff.

    And yes, there will be anti-free radical wine for me tonight as well. Because - start singing teasing voice - I'm done all my workouts today, nanner nanner nanner.
