Do you remember the day when you were a Newbie anxiously waiting the arrival of your first ever WETSUIT.  That day was today for me. Tongue out

I was checking my e-mail UPS Tracking to see when it was delivered to the house.  Knowing no one would be home I didn't want it sitting on my porch to long.  It was deliverd at 1:02 pm and I checked my e-mail at about 1:45 pm and rushed home (a mile from work) and it was not there.  Surprised I looked on the back deck and also checked other neighbors to see if they delivered it to the wrong address...no wetsuit.  Yell I called my wife checking to see if she had come home for some reason and picked it up and took it with her...no wetsuit.  YellYell Finally I got a hold of UPS and Xterra to try to get them to put a tracer on it.  After a late meeting I got a call from my wife saying my friendly neighbor picked it up off the porch, trying to be nice as she was concerned it might get stolen.  Sealed  I was just a little bit ticked.  I didn't say anything to her as I know she was just trying to help.

Needless to say I am waiting until my son goes to bed to try it on to check the fit.  I am so fired up I can't wait until friday to try it out on my OWS day and then then next week at my first Sprint Tri.  First two were Tri-It Sprints. Cool

Yeah, that would me off, too. She could have at least left you a note letting you know she had it! I had my new wetsuit delivered last Friday but we don't get our UPS deliveries until sometime after 7 p.m. That drives me crazy.

I got my Xterra suit earlier this month it was was signature required upon delivery(UPS). Your lucky it got delivered, I missed my first delivery attempt. I made sure that else was home for redelivery. Now I have to find an OWS or a good place to go swim to get som practice in my suit before my race.

I bought mine at a local Tri Shop but I definately remember the feeling of getting it. I tried on, I think, 3 different suits before finding the right one. Nothing like putting it on and hitting the water! Grats on it being there. Next time (you know in a year when you just have to upgrade!) consider having it sent to your work/office? that is what I do for big purchases and then my pics me up to drive me and the item, home.

I delayed my ride this past friday so I could meet the UPS man in the driveway.  I think he thought I was dressed funny.  Some advice for when you try it on...read the directions first, go slow and try to do it in an air conditioned room in front of a fan.

Oh I can't wait to get home today.  Mine was delivered today and confirmed by my wife.  If I could only talk her into going to the river this evening.

I had mine shipped to work, and I went straight from receiving to the fitness center to try it on.

Why are you waiting for your son to go to bed?

Because he is all questions... and I am a bit modest and he is very honest.

Yeah, I wish I'd thought of the fan. I tried mine on as soon as I got it, had it on maybe ten minutes tops. When I peeled it off it was soaked! I made my bf feel my sweat-soaked wetsuit.  Eew! I should have jumped on the scale--darn! Didn't think of that.
