One question for the guys, and one for the ladies (Page 4)

...pwned.

x2...

I think this thread makes it clear which people respond without reading the whole thread... Please wear the speedo! In fact, come wear it at my pool! And for whoever said not to race in it... I seem to remember a guy named SneakySpeed that posted some pics of him ROCKIN' the speedo in a race. I would love to see more guys like that at my races!

As for Seminole Coastie... we'll need proof that you are really SeminoleTriathlete's bro... pics in a speedo should be sufficient for a comparison.

From a ladies perspective - if you are training they are fine. Go for it - whatever gets you to train but PLEASE don't wear them to the beach.

Speedo worthy......IMHO.......  aquagirl

Although I heartily concur, aquagirl, I think that a few photos of you in a speedo should have accompanied that statement to satisfy the non believers in this forum ...

I wear these 3 models depending on whatever I grab 1st out of my swimming bag. I don't know if I have the body for it or not but I don't care

Jammer

square leg drag suit

square leg brief

EXACTLY!  Hottie in a drag suit....OMG I'll swim 7000 yds.  Drag suits trump all.  

MissKelly - 2009-03-20 8:55 PM A few of the guys that swim regularly at the pool with me wear them. They are all different ages, body types, etc. I don't really worry about it. I have my own workout and attire to concern myself with.

I'm liking the looks of the drag suit. I need to keep an eye out for that at my pool.

That would make for a good thread.  "The do's and dont's of approaching ladies at a race." Somebody should start it.

tru dat word.

Do it.  I can guarantee you'll get plenty of input : )

wurkit_gurl - 2009-03-23 10:37 AM Oh, but here's another rule - don't do your entire triathlon in a purple/yellow/green striped speedo, even if you ARE fit. It looks ridiculous to be in a speedo and sneakers (There was a guy at a race I did last July who wore this...)

But.. they did it in the 80s and 90s!

My dad did tris in the 80s and wore his speedo ALL THE TIME!  (Single, good looking guy, right??).... I have so many memories, and so many hours in therapy recovering from this.    He also wore a shirt that said "Here's the beef" when he was being casual.  The 80s were so painful.  But if you are fast and a good swimmer, wear what you want.  Just don't walk around any teenage daughters and their friends!!

JorgeM - 2009-03-23 5:34 PM Based on some of the responses on this thread as of tomorrow I'll be ditching the jammers and square leg suits and swimming with the drag suit everyday; I hope I can pull it off!

Sounds like if you can't pull it off, you'll have plenty of others who will.

what do we have family for if not to call us out?!  I am still laughing about this^^^^

 first of all, i agree with the general theme that you definitely can pull of the speedo.  However, i totally agree with your older and wiser brother that the pictures should come down......rapidly.  if not in the context of this thread, they are well, creepy.  again, you look fine, but there is something about the dimmly lit speedo self portrait that is a little strange.

LOL.  Alright that cracked me up.  But, since somebody posted pictures of that other dude with a ridiculous tan, I had to give myself some kind of an edge and make use of the dim lighting, since I clearly am not sporting a killer tan.  Well said though. 

 And in response to what my brother said, I somehow don't recal not taking my shirt off at the beach.  That sounds kinda bogus to me.  In fact we have many pictures of me at the beach with my shirt off as a kid.  But hey, selective memory I guess.
