Lets assume for a sec that you are serious. Then yeah. the beard must go.
This is maybe personal but things that I think "serious tri guys" think are HOT but I think its to impress each other not girls, that I think are really NOT hot:
-tri suits. Not hot. Wear shorts and a top. tri suits say, I wish my mum signed me up in ballet when I was a kid. These 'outfits' are so NOT HOT
-anything that is below the waist must be black or navy blue
-aero helmets are NOT hot unless you are a pro
if you are not they look stupid. I think they even look stupid on pros
-compression socks. Good Lord. I dont care the why or what just NO.
-Mdot tattoos I think look dumb and when I see a guy with one I think he'd rather just walk around with his penis out and since that is illegal he tattoed an Mdot on his calf instead
-speedos. Not too many men can carry that look off. But yes you need to train in them. Just please don't parade your junk around, get in the pool, swim, leave.
Thanks for listening.
Consensus on the Mdot tattoos and the compression socks.
Disagree on>>>
- tri suits ARE hot, if you have the body for them. Where's the thread where I listed "hot"? small waist, flat stomach, round glutes..... then, you can wear a tri suit!
- aero helmets ARE hot. You don't even have to be super fast for them to be hot. It shows you are taking the sport seriously.
