Yes, Indeed, you saw a friend of mine using a snorkel at Gulf Coast. He is a fine athlete, usually ranking in the top 20 overall in the SMW region, and a USAT all-american. He uses it on his doctors advice, due to injuries sustained in a bike crash . I contacted Charlie Crawford last year to ensure the legality, and he keeps a copy of Charlies response for race directors or officials that are over-zealous. While I admit it looks humorous, it does allow him to continue with this sport we are so passionate about.

Wow. Sorry to hear about his accident. He did look funny, though. Good for him for keeping on.
Sorry I sounded like such an asshole in my post. (I can't help it, I really am an asshole!)

under-trained and over-tapered. . . .yet still hopeful . . . does that make me an optimist or a masochist?

narrowminded dumb sh#t
I have a herniated disc in my neck. that means either i use a snorkel or i don't do tri's.
I'll be more than happy to be called a dork,but i know that when I come out of the water in the top 2% of my age group I'll be laughing my head off at your slow ass

Yeah, because I was talking specifically about you and had only you in mind.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
