Saw this on Yahoo today.

http://news.yahoo.com/space-triathlon-station-astronaut-compete-where-no-one-141549676.html

"As if holding the record for the longest spaceflight by a female astronaut wasn't enough, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is preparing to compete in a triathlon … in space.

Williams, who is stationed aboard the International Space Station, is planning to participate in the 26th annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon in September. But unlike the more than 5,000 athletes who will gather at Zuma Beach in California to swim, bike and run, Williams will compete while orbiting more than 240 miles (386 kilometers) above Earth."

Will the swim be spacesuit legal?

"Williams demonstrated how to use the space station's bike, which has pedals but no seat. "

Which means if she posts pictures nobody can say her seat's too high.
