sportsillustrated.cnn.com/.../index.html From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months..... I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.

    Wasn't there a post in one of these threads that said that shaving increased speed because it reduced sensation and that body suits acted in the same way? I'm sure it would be only one of several effects but found it interesting. I wonder if it could be something that varies from person to person with some people suffering from over stimulation and others actually benefiting from sensation? I wonder if anyone ever experimented with reducing skin sensation with local anesthetic or something along those lines to test the hypothesis.
