FS 2, or FS PRO?

FS 2 or FS Pro you might want to try the Blue Seventy PointZero3+ swim skin I've heard very good things about it I went to a triathlon shop and looked at one yesterday it's all rubber over fabric I really want to test it out it's much more affordable than the LZR

the Blue Seventy PointZero3+ swim skin looks like a wetsuit, is made by a company that makes wetsuits but it is fina approved www.blueseventy.com/.../finaapproval.pdf Dennis Baker wore one when he went 2:04.68 in the 200 LCM Roque Santos wore one at USMS SCY nats www.blueseventy.com/.../ Roque nipped me in the 100 IM he was in lane 4 I was in lane 6 www.flocasts.org/.../coverage.php Roque's 400 IM was truly exceptional www.usms.org/.../meetsearch.php ande That looks like a wet suit... Is it legal for pool races? Please, let me know what you think if you try it.

Here's a dumb question: can FS Pros be worn more than once (or more accurately, for more than one meet)? I think I've seen some people say that, like the paper suits of yester year, they cannot. (I'm mostly hearing that in the context of the new LZRs which are made in part from the same materials as the FS Pros.) Ande, any thoughts?

I have heard 5 swims,more if you re-waterproof them yourself.

5 swims for the Pro?! Geez. I guess I remember (S)he-Man saying they last for 5 minutes. I thought mine was fine for about 5 meets. I still get the compression from it, so I'd wear it again at an in season meet. But it's not as slippery. How do you re-waterproof them yourself?

FS PRO's can be worn for more than one meet I'm not sure how many meet's they'll last part of the LZR's seem to be the same fabric as PRO's Here's a dumb question: can FS Pros be worn more than once (or more accurately, for more than one meet)?

I think we may be somewhat "professional sports obsessed" but what "first world" country isn't? Professional sports obsession may be the byproduct of not having to worry about survival/war/famine on a daily basis... That isn't necessarily a bad thing... Aye, I took Religion at a catholic university; the class was taught by a former priest and Oxbridge educated prof. In discussing British football with him, I said "It's like a religion..." he rebuked "It IS religion..." So perhaps tossing money away on silly body suits is a modern day version of some sort of sacrifice to the deity of your choice. Me? I would rather spend that money on something so less fleeting, and I'd rather see swimming back to a pair of speedos, goggles and cap (optional). That said, each to their own. I've heard the golf club/running shoe analogy but it seems you still get more yardage from them vs a superhero suit. Yeah and it wouldn't make a difference to my times anyhow so it's a waste from my POV (thought I'd point that out before some numpty does). As for the economic turmoil: I'd rather blame the govts of the world at large for their complicity in burying, supressing or not researching alternative energy to this point...it's no shocker that oil will run out. Secondly the laws of supply and demand that have brought the country to it's knees had a hand in the rise of the sub prime disaster. House prices going up in leaps and bounds, banks prepared to offer mortgages leveraged way past sanity levels, and of course the king of them all, the 5 year ARM with a low, low introductory rate! Add into the mixture the volatility creeping into every alternative investment from hedge funds trying to find value as the dollar sank faster than Geek in a 200 yard breaststroke race, and we are off to the virtual commodity price gouge. In short, people will spend and save as they are inclined. It's not the fault of every person who purchased an indulgent gizmo. The muck can be shovelled around fairly evenly. :cane:

I have read "The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud"(all 22 volumes) Whoa, the complete work of Sigmund Freud, that's impressive... I was wondering then, what does the phrase, "A Freudian slip." mean? I've heard it before, but didn't understand it...

Ahh, I believe I have a new favorite word.... "numpty". Yes saying "numpty" has a good feel to it, doesn't it? I challenge you to use it about town and note how many folks think you're complimenting them, insulting them or just look puzzled! ;)
