I thought for sure someone else would bring this up…
If you’ve seen the Fi’zi:k ad in the swimsuit issue, care to share your thoughts? Not sure what they were going for, but I have to admit I found it slightly disturbing. Am I the only one who thinks that Ms Wellington does not look healthy? Kinda scary actually.
I know they are all fabulous athletes. Kind of curious why they were portrayed in this manner. Am I missing something? Maybe I’m just to old to “get” an edge-y ad? Dunno…

i’m more concerned about Crowie sort of half hugging Greg Bennet while he shyly looks away… i’m just saying…
And gawd dayam is Matt Reed tall!
That, too. Like I said, the whole thing was vaguely disturbing.

It’s not very flattering for any of them.
any pics? are they up on the internet yet, i haven’t seen the magazine in any of my local book stores/grocery stores.
Tim DeBoom looks like he has the fire back in his eyes…
what page
.
Right at the end of the swimsuit section. Double full page spread.
Unflattering is the nicest way to describe it IMO. Seriously, not sure what they were going for.

any pics online? i read the magazine, but dont remember
Other than the odd look on her face, I thought Ms Wellington looked great! I just thought it was a cool, out of the box concept that worked in the swimsuit issue…
.
Couldn’t find any online, sorry.

What month? My latest is May that I just picked up, haven’t had a chance to read it much yet.
There’s an add in the last Inside Triathlon magazine. I guess it was the same photo shoot; and Wellington does NOT look healthy at all.
Its the Ethiopian Endurance formula… As the body goes into starvation mode, endorphins are released. If you are more than 1% body fat, you are just increasing drag.
mmmm… So… Have you thought about changing your screen name? People might get confused…
…Just saying…

LOL Doubt that… Confusing me with anyone else is like confusing a brick s&*(t house with the Eifel Tower…
Just saying…
and to be clear… I am comparing myself to the brick s&*(t house…
Ms. Wellington was 2 lanes over from me today, along with her entourage…M. Caferae (sp?), Julie Diebens, a guy who I think was Justin Granger (not sure), then there were 4 or 5 other pros with them but must have been low-end pros compared to the mentioned otherwise I would have recognized them. ANYHOW, when Chrissy got out of the pool I was aqua jogging at the time after my swim (it snowed so took the easy route & ran indoors/pool)…finally, to the point: she didn’t look normal or healthy. Can’t quite put my finger on it but she looked vastly different than the others. Julie Diebens looked about as close to this “abnormal” skin description as I can come up with. Almost “plastic-like” look. Maybe the fact they’re world champions & at the top of their sport? Maybe their body fat is so low it alters their look? I felt “chubby” & “soft” after seeing these gals. Then again, that’s probably not too far off the mark, which would explain my results lately.

Tim’s not stood behind the pair of them is he?
Yes, disturbing is the word I would use too.
