just got an email about preordering LZR's
for shipment around 6/30
the price list (below) seems too pricey for me
I think it would be good to figure out the ideal
performance vs value point for fastskins
I might order an FSII jammer and legskin
but hopefully it will make the others drop:
LZR Racer Male
Pre-order * LZR Racer Jammer - $290.00
Pre-order * LZR Racer Legskin - $350.00
Pre-order * LZR Racer High Neck Bodyskin - $550.00
LZR Racer Female
Pre-order * LZR Racer Recordbreaker Kneeskin - $425.00
Pre-order * LZR Racer Recordbreaker Bodyskin - $475.00
Pre-order * Female LZR Racer High Neck Bodyskin - $550.00
Again,on the Speedo website it said the main material was the same as for the FS Pro and that the big change was the compression panels,That would imply to me that there is about as much difference between a LZR and a Pro as there was between an FS I and an FS II,which was not much.The ability of these suits to have less drag on someone being stationary in a flume is not the same as being faster when actually swimming.
Wow!!! A swim suit that breaks world records. Takes no ability and it only needs to fit right.
I think I saw a suit like that in a movie with Christopher Lloyd - My Favorite Matian. www.youtube.com/watch
Hmmm, I wonder how much faster Ben Johnson could have run with one of these suits? I'm just stirring the pot George!!!:doh:

Somehow I need to get my hands on one of these for Nationals. I figure if I can wear one I can just quit training right now. It's all about the suit, after all. Anyone out there know Michael Phelps? He might have a couple "certified pre-owned" LZRs he'd be willing to sell me.
They are way expensive, and looking at the results from the MGP so far it doesn't seem as if it is as good as speedo is making it out to be.
Maybe now that it has one WR and one AR behind it, people will think it's worth every penny now :party2:
