Am I the only one who thinks the guy's goggle straps hanging out and his bald head make him look like he's wearing a bowler hat? Took me a long time to realize he wasn't.

Didn't get A; B doesn't sound right, therefore C gets the vote.

The story behind the picture was quite entertaining actually. This man's friend had a huge dread lock hairdo and the two of them struggled forever to pack that beast of hair into a swimming cap. Eventually the friendly helper decided enough was enough and he headed into the water, forgetting he never had zipped up the suit.
Everyone watching this expected him to stop swimming as soon as he started, but he just continued swimming.

There were some real LOL comments before and this is what we get?

"the trick is to keep losing weight until your friends and family ask you if you've been sick. then you know you're within 10 pounds. if they start whispering to each other, wondering if you've got cancer or aids, you're within 5. when they actually do an intervention, you're at race weight." - Slowman

Below are the 3 finalists of the caption competition #1 of 2012 and not surprisingly many of the suggestions headed in the same direction:
A) "Minimalist Swimming: It's the new rage." by Runner Rick
B) "it puts the Bodyglide on its skin or else it gets the hose again..." by Carl
C) "I heard this race is draft legal." by Princess
So which of the above lines best fit the picture below:
Please respond by voting with either A, B or C depending on which caption you like best / best suits the image. The finalist with the most votes will receive a pair of those fine Pearl Izumi Tri-Fly III Carbon shoes below.
Please vote within this thread so everyone can see the voting process in one place.
The original thread about this competition and all the responses can be found here:
http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...ew_flat;post=3871031
None of the above.
A. I don't get it. What does having a rip in the back of your wetsuit have to do with minimal swimming? My Nike Frees do not have rips in them.
B. I don't get it. Enough said.
C. I get it but would be much more appropriate if the rip was over his butt and his cheeks were hanging out.
To the judges who picked these, please go back and try again.
