  • if it takes a tech suit to make swimming "more interesting" for you, might i suggest you wear said tech suit more often... to the supermarket... church... starbucks... etc. True story: a triathlon friend of mine qualified for the biathlon (run-bike-run) world championships, or some such. Since he was "representing the US" in some sense, he had to wear their get-up. The "uniform" was a tri-kini made of the FS-II material. Now, first of all, I think tri-kins are pretty darn funny-looking. But neither one of us could figure out why it had to be made of a swimming "high-tech" material for an event in which no one was swimming. He claimed it was pretty godawful-uncomfortable to ride in, too. The only thing we could figure is that Speedo ponied up some money to be the team sponsor.
