Master 1572  PA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread PennState - 2010-03-12 7:29 AM My suit doesn't fit me anymore, so I do need one. Anyone have any opinions on the blue helix? Probably won't get it for a few months. Thanks. Jorge has a helix. I think Kristin does too. Have heard nothing but great things. I prefer sleeveless without a doubt, but Jorge has told me numerous times I'd love the full sleeve helix. What does Bob Stocks wear? Edited by gopennstate 2010-03-12 7:51 AM |

Even though I wear ZOOT and love my Zenith, I have heard nothing but good things about the Helix. It's one of the most popular brand among the pro's. Bob swim's nude. |

The upper body fit is fantastic and it's paper thin where it needs to be. You don't feel like you're wearing sleeves since the arms move so independently from the body. I can swim hours in it and not be uncomfortable. |

| Champion 9600 Fountain Hills, AZ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread PennState - 2010-03-12 7:13 AM Yeah I'm debating sleeveless as I have found a lot of shoulder constriction with my desoto. Which suits are the ones that have the advantage of letting you catch more water (full wetsuits)... ie they have something in the sleeve that let's you catch more water. All of them, Fred. If you look at the under the forearm portion of a full sleeve suit, they have a different texture of neoprene designed to catch water during that portion of your stroke. heliz and Zenith both have very thin neoprene in the shoulders so range of motion isn't very retricted in the newer suits. |

| Master 2621 Mechanicsburg, PA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I have a 2009 De Soto T1 First Wave full top, De Soto T1 Black pearl bibs and De Soto T1 speed vest. I wore the De Soto T1 Black pearl bibs and De Soto T1 speed vest (Sleeveless) combination for LP, time 1:02. It was fine, but I think I would have swum faster in the De Soto T1 First Wave full top. I swam the De Soto T1 First Wave full top and De Soto T1 Black pearl bibs at Savageman. My time was 27:51 and I felt so fresh in the swim I thought I really didn’t push hard enough. The De Soto T1 First Wave full top springs my arms forward and I feel no shoulder constriction. I believe Rick thinks highly of De Soto as well. Just saying and De Soto will take full retunes 15 days or a complete refund. |

| Extreme Veteran 398 Sea Isle City, NJ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Anyone heading to the Endurance Sport Expo this weekend in Oaks, PA (just outside of Philly)? I will be at the Philly Tri Club booth Saturday afternoon so stop by and say hello. All this talk of race wheels and new wetsuits has my wallet burning. I better leave it at home tomorrow or I may walk out of there with a lot of new gear!! |

| Master 1471 Dunedin | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread All this bike talk makes my head swim. I'll stick with assuming tires (tyres) are just round half-tubes of rubber. I've heard mixed reviews about getting splashed going over bumps, but geez...if you keep water b/n your aerobars and then a sports drink on your frame elsewhere this might fix the prob? |

I have a question about the swim: Like Fred said, you'll be fine. The buoy line is there in warmer months and I'm guessing there will be other folks training at the same time as well. I'm going over Memorial Day (brrrrr) and that seems to be the kick off of LP training weekends. I'm sure you'll be in good company! |

I've heard mixed reviews about getting splashed going over bumps, but geez...if you keep water b/n your aerobars and then a sports drink on your frame elsewhere this might fix the prob? Some people use a regular bottle cage mounted between the aero bars (with zip ties) instead of an aero bottle, so once they toss the bottle that fits snugly in there, the GE bottle isn't great as a replacement. If you're using an aero bottle, you just grab the bottle at the exchange, squeeze it in and toss it before the drop zone ends. That's what I do, and I drink GE only (no water) and eliminated the splashing by using a shower poof. Works beautifully, not a drop comes out! |

| Champion 9600 Fountain Hills, AZ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread You want to know the secret to a fast bike split? Ride a lot, ride moderate, ride hard, don't ride too easy too much, ride alone, ride every long ride at IM effort and never give that up once you have it. If you do that, it won't matter one bit where the hell you but your frackin' water bottle. |
