that's a lot of drag to have in a race.

ACTION SHOT!!!

You CANNOT be serious???? That's your comment??? I'm not even going to justify that with a real response.

EXACTLY 2Goggs!! And thanks John!

But seriously, drag, for 12.5 miles on the bike, doubt it. IM or even 1/2 IM, sure...and in that case, I would put skirt on for run, like my sister does. But seriously, considering how short and high up it ends up being when I am on the bike, it's not even blowing around to cause drag...my full water bottle on the other hand, well ya, that might be an issue...but I had a tummy ache!

ACTION SHOT!!!

JBrashear - 2009-07-24 5:10 PM You might want to qualify that you're talking about the skirt.

I did some calculations and the coefficient of drag with a skirt is about....let the woman wear what she wants!!

Another action shot, only this time, I'm not on a bike, so I don't think the drag is AS bad!!!

KSH - 2009-08-04 11:54 AM The skirt might not be drag... but those headphones are!

Yay Finisher's photo.  Boo headphones---rule-breaker!!!

miami9296 - 2009-08-04 10:33 AM

And then I had to get a nice pose in for my finishers pic!

I can't win with you people...booo! I actually started a thread in the triathlon talk last week asking about the whole head phones thing, as I have NEVER raced with them, and thought it would help keep my mind distracted, and it worked! Otherwise, all I really hear is my breathing, and as crazy as it sounds, I feel like that gets in my head too much, and brings on my stomach injury, and this time, NO PAIN!!

I think that is why they were giving you a hard time. 

Looking good.  BTW.  For a Cubs fan. 

KSH - 2009-08-06 1:04 PM Oh, I was giving you a hard time because they are HUGE. I have never seen headphones so HUGE in race. Thus the "drag" comment. You know, they make those in smaller sizes. PS- Do not take me too seriously!
