Popov says quit whining about the LZR

I feel I get the best of both worlds in that I clip hair thats under the suit and shave exposed areas....and as it was today...slipping into the pool and pushing off with that shaved feel is unlike anything in the world of sports. I find the suit only adds to the sensation....much of that because of the tightness of the suit holding all this extra baggage in place! Chris....the FSII is a great suit...only good for about a dozen meets I've found before all the water repellency goes away and it becomes a lead weight. The FS Pro is closer to the Arena suit I love....like the old paper suits...very, very light. By the way, The UT team was doing some time trial today in the other warm up pool...testing suits so I'm told (apparently Hansen and 1 or 2 others got released from their Nike contracts and were testing LZR's so says JS). Pretty cool watching a half dozen guys cruising 1:38+/46+ in workout...its just a different sport!!
