Do they have those stupid shelf bra tops in them? If not I might be doing me some Internet shopping Originally posted by jogo Originally posted by blueyedbikergirl How hot is the temp going to be on the bike and the run? You will look smokin' hot but feel smoking hot in all black, especially on the run. Probably okay for a sprint in early summer or early Fall but if temps are greater than 80F on the run, I would stick with the blue. Originally posted by Artemis Manatees, I need fashion advice! I bought these mostly black tri shorts. Do I go with the black jersey or the blue jersey. I'm leaning towards blue, but not sure if that would look weird.
Ooooh - I like what you chose, and if you want to go with the blue - go for the blue! It looks like the blue of the top matches the blue of the bottoms, so don't worry about it. For ME (because I'm a bit of a dork) I'd go with the black top, just because I'd want to look ninja-stealthy like in all black. That's my concern about the black. I like how it will look, but I'm doing a tri in Virginia at the end of July, so it will be HOT. The blue seems like a better decision for here. Monica, the blue on the jersey does match the blue on the shorts.  I have all black made from 'cold black' fabric and I haven't found it to be a problem in the heat. The hottest race was in 35* (sorry 95*for you guys), but I have only been doing sprints. |

I want this:
Or this:
You would totally rock this outfit! Oh, yes you would;) I like them both. I guess I'm more partial to the bottom--very GnR and I like black kits. Being a "biker girl" I imagine you in black. Not that I "imagine" you or anything. I mean, um...what's that over there? You know I keep throwing the kit word around, but I'm such a poser. I have no kit. I have black cycling shorts and a black sports bra or my black TYR bikini top. I'm a cheap beotch. Bike gear, I'll drop coin, the stuff I wear on my body? Not so much. Except shoes. I'm slightly ridiculous with my running and cycling shoes. Well, OK, all shoes. And, yes, Nationals could end up being extremely fun, though I may have to leave shortly after the race :( I'm going to work on that though. The idea of sitting in a car for 5 hours post race sounds pretty chitty. |

I'm so so sick of weak looking, breast implanted women modeling tri gear. There is certainly no quicker way to alienate me from a business. The company was started by a triathlete who's also a graphic artist - so to me, it's a win/win! I love both of them... I need to make a decision on ONE of them though (cuz I also need to buy a few pairs of shoes... |

Not that there's a pretty kind, but I seem to have a seriously unpretty food poisoning. Blowing it out both ends all night (and I do mean, all night) and where you don't feel better after you puke. Fever's holding steady at 101F. And some ahole is cutting tile next door. SCREEEEEEEEECH On the plus side, this is amazing core work, and I'm 4kg down. |

I just checked out the website - man that girls got some impressive abs. Mmm maybe after my 100 days I might be heading in the right direction Seriously I'll settle for my muffin top being gone but I might need to do more than just abs to make that happen, I think that I need to lose 10kg as well as do the abs workouts. |
