Photo Caption Competition #1 2012
After a little break we are ready again for a photo caption competition. The picture below was taken during a practice swim before a fairly big triathlon.
Give this photo an interesting caption and we'll award the best caption (editors discretion will narrow it down to the top 3 and then you get to vote for your favorite) a pair of Pearl Izumi Tri-Fly III Carbon shoes courtesy of
pearlizumi.com
Rules: All captions have to be posted in the forum, so no PMs please. No more than 3 different captions for each user per photo caption competition. Should more be posted, the first 3 will count.
We'll keep this competition open for about 8-10 days.
Below is an image of the Pearl Izumi Tri-Fly III Carbon shoes
Thanks,
Herbert

This Easter weekend, Fred was forced to pick two
1. Being aerodynamic for the annual Easter swim practice
2. Being positively buoyant for the annual Easter swim practice
3. Copious amounts of Chocolate Bunnies
Killing two bunnies with one stone, the choice was obvious.

After hearing about the intensity of the Arab sun, Bill planned ahead and found a new way to keep cool during the swim. Unfortunately, he didn't plan for the extra thrashing required from the reduced drag and overheated during his struggle through the swim portion of the race, failing to finish.

When Joe Average's zipper breaks it's a flaw.
When Lance Armstrong's zipper breaks it's a venting system and everyone wants to know where to buy a suit like that.

So...this it it. Months of training, sacrificing free time, and fiscal irresponsibility to live my dream of being a triathlete. Blood is my middle name, sweat my cologne, and tears my occasional campanion. To compete and be a triathlete...that is me. This broken zipper? Least of my problems. According to that kayak club, the race was yesterday.

I don't always wear a wetsuit, but when I do, I make sure that I completely fuck it up.
I wonder if I should have done by Crossfit WOD with my wetsuit on? Those guys on ST are always talking about "specificity", so I train like I race. I am able to deadlift so much more when I wear this thing.

I am just to my thighs already this water is already too cold. Good thing I have this wetsuit on, as I could not imagine it getting any colder.

Frank doesn't agree with the slowtwitch triathlon forum opinion that strength training is useless so he is ready to conduct an N=1 experiment. After 3 months of strength training his left lattisimus dorsi he will compare his left arm strength to his right arm strength during this Kona qualifier triathlon. Results of the study will be published to Google as a white paper.

Ok, I figured out this great strategy on how to get to the podium
First, I'll leave my wetsuit unzipped. That will save me at least three seconds heading into T1. And then, while I'm on the bike in the last 500 meters heading to T2, I'll exchange my cycling shoes for my running shoes (which I had strapped to my bike seat). That way I can run through transition at full speed and save another five seconds.
Podium, here I come!!!!

More changes to the WTC wetsuit policy: wetsuits are now permitted in water temperatures greater than 83.8 degrees Fahrenheit (28.8 degrees Celsius)
provided they remain unzipped for the duration of the swim.

Armstrong's camp has done it again with this new wetsuit that has built-in cooling to keep that core temp down

Maybe it *was* supposed to be "taper for 3 weeks, carbo-load starting two days before", and not the other way around... I should have listened to those slowtwitch guys.

here's a few
1. even though it was just practice, Bob still felt the shiver of excitement run up his spine.
2.It would soon become clear that Bob's interpretation of 'open' category was flawed.
3. Bob felt way more comfortable after the last minute shuffle of the stuff in Nature's pocket but in the panic he had yet to realize his big mistake.
4.. HEY FELLAS....FELLAAAS... COME BACK... I NEED HELP WITH MY SUIT....FELLAAAAAAAS....
5. Alone and quiet before the big race, Bob thought he a had a pretty good crack at a decent finish.

Feeling a bit smug about his chances for the podium, Bob was none the less pleased with the great pointers he got from his "critique my wetsuit fit" thread on Slowtwitch.
