Sexy! Kinda.

Hi there!

It's been a while, no? Well, the good news is I'm no longer in excruciating pain. Right? Right.

So my training is going not well. I missed an entire week of training because of my jackhole of an ear. I still haven't gone swimming, so I'm about 77% sure I'm still going to be floating in the Hudson when everyone else is finishing their race. Something great happened this week though. I got to pick my wetsuit out.

The options were either sleeved or sleeveless, and I also had the option to check if I had any of the following "sizing considerations": broad shoulders, long legs, long waisted, large chested.

I wanted to write them back at what constitutes "large chested" but thought that is something I should never write in an email ever. I left the box unchecked and am now hoping my ample, but not ginormous sized breasts will fit into the wetsuit. They're my flotation devices. I really don't want them that squished, you know?
This bitch goes all the way down to my ankles, so only my arms will be exposed to the water in the Hudson. I only hope I look as cool in my wetsuit as the guy in the above picture looks in his.

I'm totally wearing it every opportunity I can. No, I don't mean just swimming. I'm wearing this sucker out. Like out out. To the bars. I figure I can pair it with a nice pump and be good to go. What? Stop looking at me like that. This bitch costs me (ok Team in Training) $400 and is aiding in my alcohol-less spring. You best believe I'm getting my money's worth.

Hells yeah! Wear that farmer John suit wherever you go!

Sometimes wetsuit fitting can be a beach (ha, get it!), so you really want to move around in it to make sure it feels good. Get down, get funky!

Oh my god. I'm not sure if that thing will ever feel good. Especially covered in that dirty Hudson water.

On the other hand, if I wear it out, I won't worry about spilling my beer on it!

Nevermind.

$400??!!%%$$!#!)*(&@$! Holy shit! You should let Bush know you spent your economic stimulus on this gorgeous wetsuit.

Swimming in the Hudson? Buying 400 dollar wetsuits? Ears that suck? alcohol LESS springs? --- Your life is just so different then mine--- I find it interesting. My life has lots of alcohol, zero wetsuits. I swim in the ocean or a pool and my ears are just cartlidge on the sides of my head.

That picture is so weird. Why is he looking at her like that? And why isn't he in my bed?

JHC said...

Why does he have a Swastika on his wet suit? Why are they standing so close together?
It's like he's admonishing her borrowing his back-up wet suit.

first of all, no wetsuit looks good on anyone. i am a certified diver and im telling you, ive yet to see anyone in real life (not in a catalog) look anything close to 'hot' in a wetsuit. like ever.

secondly--$400?? you did buy a decent one if price says anything.

good luck! :)

Like Bill from Gainesville, I lead a wetsuit-free, alcohol-drenched existence. But I am in awe of this whole physical endurance training...

(No Grey Goose dirty martinis at ALL?!?! Not even a SMALL one?!)

When do we get photos of you in your wetsuit? Preferably wearing a bike helmet and your badass running sunglasses? (To emphasize the triality of your quest, naturally.)

J-Money said...

We sell tri apparel at the store and my boss always tells wetsuiters to "roll it on like it's a condom". I think that means that it should have a reservoir tip.

You are going to flood the Hudson with awesome.

dmbmeg said...

Team in Training pays for my wet suit so luckily I don't have to shell out $400 for a fucking wetsuit.

A condom? Huh. Well I certainly know how to use one of those! (Sorry--not really)

Also Bill-
I've consumed for than enough alcohol to cover me for the next coming months. I'm pretty sure I've shaved a good 2 or 3 months off my inevitable liver transplant because of all this.
