woohoo! sooner- you ARE the man!
will you be wearing the same getup at Longhorn? It may be a bit chillier :)

You almost look like...Rasmussen!

speedo and fully shorn

chapeau, my good man!

Tan lines are epic! They say to the casual observer "do not look above this line". AWESOME

No guts, no glory. Awesome!

wicked awesome- +1 to cayman on the calender idea lol

Nice. This forum gets more fun everyday. And to think I signed up just to get information about triathlons. Sooner, I dare you to send that last shot out as your Christmas card this year ; )

i think that i am convinced to wear the speedo to the next race i do, tinman honolulu

It seems like it was a liberating experience. This site my be responsible, one day, for bringing the speedo completely back into fashion.

I call February (shortest month). And the men lead the women in the "Racing in a Speedo" thread 4 - 0. Scoreboard. If any woman takes up the challenge, it must be a two piece swim suit. A Speedo brand one-piece does not count. Cycling/tri shorts and a jog bra does not count.

6'4". Great for the swim and sprints to the run finish, but pretty much worthless on the bike. And I take great care to line up the leg grippers right on the tan line so they get as distinct as possible.

You've got to do it! It felt amazing on the bike, run, but I'd really have to go over-board with the body glide for anything longer than a sprint. And I was thinking how nasty it would be if I laid it down in the gravel. I'd probably get stripped nekked if I crashed above 10mph.

Someone once asked if I spray tanned them on.

*whistle* Niiice!

Ok ladies! Who's up for it???

Hey man if Sooner did it with those crazy tan lines....which by the way I think I could rival...I have three different tan lines on my legs!

After much consideration--my answer is still NO WAY :)

1. I don't do sprints anymore
2. I am bound to see people I know if I did do a sprint
3. No way in H3LL I am doing an IM in a speedo
4. There is not enough Glide in the world that would get me to do it.
5. Wouldn't want the lifeguards clearing the water because they thought they saw a whale in the lake. No, I don't suffer from low self esteem but I am a realist.

Tan lines are one thing - tan lines don't bother me - it is my hip pudge that keeps me from showing my middle. That is why Tankinis rock!

ya, I am with you on the negatory. I would MAYBE do it in a one piece "speedo" brand bathing suit- if it wasn't already vetoed, but even tho I have been doing the million days of core religiously, after giving birth to 4 kids including twins, my middle section will never see the light of day again.

Apparently we could have committed a felony racing in our Speedo:

Man Blames Water Park Exposure On Wardrobe Malfunction
http://www.wesh.com/news/20048868/detail.html

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man accused of exposing himself to a teenage girl at a local water park is out of jail and trying to explain himself. Bradford Biggers, 51, is accused of exposing himself to a 14-year-old at Typhoon Lagoon over the weekend. He claims he was just adjusting his tight European-style swimsuit. "It's a very small bathing suit and all I was doing was getting in and out of it," Biggers said. He said he was in shock and that he did not expose himself to a girl. Biggers was released on bond Monday night, but is facing a felony lewd behavior charge.

I could totally see sprinting to the finish and having a wardrobe malfunction. Those volunteers were pretty young. I could've been busted right there on the spot. It was west Texas after all.

Judging by the *ahem* size of those speedos *ahem* I think you would be fine.

The first water stop on my speedo tri was staffed by a group of high school girls. I ran up with a smile on my face, grabbed a cup from the cheering ladies, and promptly choked while trying to drink. They probably got too much of a view as I bent over to hack up some water.

REALLY impressed by the size of those speedos, huh? ;)

I know there's a few trifuel IMLP volunteers on for next week, who's up for an open water swim and group speedo photo op on Saturday? ladies also welcome.

beads where are ya buddy, you've worn a kilt... now it's time to pony up in a tiny black speedo.

I'm packin'.

Let's fill out that calendar!

Got it the first time. :) And yes, I have the visual. Speedos aren't really meant to be worn while bending over.

I have to go back to the beginning of my tri career, before I owned a wetsuit, to find a Speedo pic.
It was an overcast day and the picture was grainy when I scanned it but here I am at the Kelowna Apple Olympic Triathlon.

Most others had wetsuits.

If I can get to Texas next year I'm up for it.

Like I said, it was before I owned a wetsuit, so I didn't have much choice.
Anyway, it was only 1500m.

I borrowed a wetsuit for my first ironman though.
Now I have my own:
