Today was a new one. Team kit tri top, with soccer shorts, on a life cycle.
Yes, M-dot calf.
sigh
Yeah… well at my gym I saw a guy playing basketball wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey and he had a basketball tattoo’ed on his shoulder. It turns out he wasn’t even Kobe Bryant!!!
Also one time I saw a guy wearing a full Garmin Slipstream kit riding his rode bike on pch. I don’t think he was even on the team!!!
Really…who cares!?
I’m not sure but I bet because he was wearing soccer shorts while riding the life cycle he was letting everyone at the gym know that… “today’s an easy day, a recovery day really… because yesterday I rode a hard 70 and ran a quick 8 miles off the bike. Yes, today I’m just taking it easy eveyone”.
I could be wrong, maybe check his blog to make sure.
I’d wear it (I don’t, but I have considered it)! Tri tops are way more comfy than most regular tshirts when you’re getting all sweaty at the gym.
Also, he could be training in it to make sure it’s going to work for him in a race… never use/wear anything for the first time during a race! Don’t want chaffed nips

I get that, but pulling on soccer shorts in T1?
I dunno, we do weird shit sometimes, but I think paul_tx probably has it right. I did “look at him!”

Maybe it was courtesy so you wouldn’t have to see all his junk while he’s walking around the gym? If I ever ride one of the spin bikes at the gym I wear cycle/tri shorts but I’ll ALWAYS wear basketball shorts or boardshorts over the top of them, to help keep the babes off me and keep the muscleheads from getting jealous of my Johnson (theirs being shrunken due to “the juice”)
OK, maybe. I see your point. It did crack me up though.

Why were you looking at my point? The whole purpose of the soccer/basketball shorts is so you can’t see my “point”!
Since we are discussing strange attire I saw a guy a few days ago riding that was pushing 270 pounds. I admire the fact that he was out there exercising but what I did not get is why he would ride in a full Team Discovery Kit. Good advertising I guess in a billboard sense.
I refer you all to point #6 on the following list:

Is that how you came up with your username??
I wear my USPS kit and aero helmet to my gym, but only in spin class.

I just about spit all over my keyboard on that one!
I am guilty of the pink Red Sox cap - the only pink thing I own!
Who cares what women wear in gyms nowadays - boring!! Maybe that’s why I don’t belong to a gym any more.
God, I miss the 1980’s.
Why would this bother anyone???
Ah. The 20 minute workout…memories…
“Ah. The 20 minute workout…memories”
Yep. I remember lots of guys getting up at 6:00 AM just to watch Bess Motta and the gals. Have to admit that I ws one of them.
