No tri shorts.
No tri suit.
Just a swimsuit straight out of 1983.
Awesome.
I think my butt will survive 14 miles without a little padding. I hope.
Also (and this is kinda funny), Gear West just announced a new duathlon that they are going to put on this September. It's a run / bike / run / bike / run. No, that's not a typo. Yes, you read that right. You can do it as an individual or as a team - both team members do the entire race, and then they take the finishing time of the second finisher. BUT, the teammates can work with each other and draft off each other on the bike. AND they actually have a "significant other" team category! How sweet is that?!

Happy Friday!
Oh my...that suit is just awesome! You should totally wear it for the tri! It would be hilarious!
ReplyDeleteif you're worried about the padding, you could always get one of these bad boys for your saddle: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1032431_-1_1534003_20000_400033
ReplyDeleteOh my, I really hope you work up the courage. But something tells me you will!
ReplyDeleteI think I see a cat lounging on the bureau in the background. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm young enough to remember suits like that actually being worn at the beach in California.
you should wear a cup over that.
ReplyDeletei just bought a suit from Splish with a hotdog on the front and it says on the back, "im a winner, not a weiner". cant wait to wear that one!
#1 - someone actually makes that?
ReplyDelete#2 - someone actually sells that?
#3 - someone actually bought that?
Oh my...
I trying to think of how I can bribe you to wear that an only that for the tri on Sunday. (You do mean shirtless as well, right?)
ReplyDeleteDude, you've got to go for it!
Ha! Yeah, thanks Kyle! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am going to my 25th class reunion next weekend, can I borrow those?
ReplyDeletesay whaaat?!?! why can't the ladies' "grab bag" suits ever be cool like that? >=/ jealousy.
ReplyDeletethat race does indeed sound intriguing. i'll look into it!
p.s. were you the one who recently did a bike fit @ GW? i need some advice...
I heart swimoutlet!! That suit is cool and the Gear West race sounds even cooler...too bad I live down south!
ReplyDeleteLove the suit!
ReplyDeleteYou should include a neon yellow cropped tank top too. Actually, it would have been a better (um...worse) image if you had rocked a REAL Speedo in those colors - not jammers.
ReplyDeleteThat is excellent! You really, really must do it!
ReplyDeleteUm, wow. I really need to jump on to this grab bag thing.
ReplyDeleteThat is retro in a fun way for sure!
ReplyDeleteIf you wear that at Waseca you will forever be my hero! I say go for it, we want Waseca to be one of MN most fun races...this will be a good start for sure Steve!!!
ReplyDeleteTrue story: I got my husband a very funny Splish suit (rainbows and unicorns), and some lady at the adult lap swim at our pool called the cops because she thought he was the sketchy man who'd been reported "showing an interest in kids" at the pool. (He looks nothing like the physical description of that guy, for what it's worth.) Just be careful where you wear the suit, is all. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteKT: HA! That's so bad that it's good!
ReplyDeleteAnd to everyone else, I should make it known that I CHOSE this suit. It was NOT a "grab bag" suit. I don't think SwimOutlet would be that evil.... ;)
I so hope you went with this suit today! :)
ReplyDeleteThose feet gotta go!
