Subject: HUUB quick release zipper how (not) to
Hi:

I just got my new HUUB wetsuit in the door, and the first thing I did was to check how the quick release zipper works. It works as advertised, but I think there are two problems: When you zip up the suit it's easy to pull too far and you have to start all over, in particular since you can't see the zipper. And it's not just a hassle to put the zipper back - you have to get the suit off to do that - but also I'm afraid of ripping the seams in doing so.

Anybody else having problem with this zipper? Practice makes perfect?

I noticed there is an eyelet on the zipper and I suppose you can pull a thick string through to make it work as an ordinary zipper, in competition you can undo it to have the fast release out of water. Anybody doing this?

I've never had trouble with mine.  I usually get someone else to pull it up and close the flaps etc so maybe that's why.  It is a pain if I forget to attach it at the bottom before putting it on.  I got it fully on one time before realizing it and had to strip it down to my waist and get someone to put it together for me.

So what is the best way to lose weight quickly? Do you simply "starve yourself” by eating as little as possible? The answer depends on your long-term goals.

I've rested them for 6 weeks, twice. I've had Active Release Therapy, massages, I'm doing Trigger Point, and stretching. Yet, I'm still having issues and can't get above 3 miles.

I usually have at least one workout per day, sometimes two or three, but I spend about all in-between time eating. I am not gaining weight, but I am not losing weight either. Should I be concerned?

My thanks to the triathlete community for being there when I need you. That’s the beautiful thing about triathletes. None of us are all right, and no one expects anyone else to be.

Besides the obvious rest and strengthening/PT around the ankles, what can I do to further find the root cause and correct it? Also, what are doctors’ stances on active release?

I'd noticed occasional pain in the back of my left leg once in a while when running. The pain is now running from my buttocks to the knee. I am having occasional back aches too.
