Yes, it's true. No, I'm not ashamed

BSM would be so proud.

I wonder what that guy's been up to. It's been a while since I've heard from him.

Welcome to the world of triathlon, where men with perfectly normal testosterone levels shave their bodies and wear spandex with impunity.

BSM, by the way, is Black Spandex Man.  He is our own resident BT Superhero.  Often elusive, but always admired.

Its all good till you wear it to the movie theatre or the mall

my 2 teenage girls DESPISE my tri-shorts. I love them as much as the OP.

I can't remember where I read it but we were discussing this a few days ago, especially the joy that you get when you walk into a grocery store or Walmart after a long, hard workout.

Nothing says 'I don't care what you think' like walking around Walmart, sweaty, salty, and enjoying the 'click-click-click' of your biking shoes on the floor. 

phew, it's starting to get a little funky in here.  personally, I've never gone "fully" speandex anywhere more public than a gas stop or a Starbuck's EARLY on a weekend morning, pre-ride... even though I'm a chick.

I will confess, however, to having stopped by Whole Foods (perhaps for brown rice sushi, yum) on the way home from the park, sweat and all.  I just swap the tech top for an oversized T- or sweatshirt and hope that all the patchouli and wheat grass in there will mask my smell.
