There is an older guy, in his mid 60s now, who always races the local triathlon in a speedo, and only a speedo. He is quite fast and does very well in relation to the field, beating a lot of the young guys. Including me several times. I keep thinking that one year I will pull out the speedo and do a whole race in it. Not brave enough yet but getting there. I just need a couple more years to get to that "I don't care" state of mind. (and I will have to shave a little higher-sorry-TMI) |

(and I will have to shave a little higher-sorry-TMI) I've been to several races where there's an older gentleman who races only in a green speedo with yellow rubber duckies on it. Hilarious, but I can count every rib, ab muscle and vein in his body. He's incredible and usually smokes most of the field. I said if I'm ever that good looking and fast I'll race in a grass skirt and coconut bra. |

| New user 560 Key West | Subject: RE: Old guys in speedo's I say go for it. I find that as I get older (now 60 y.o. female) I actually care less and less what other people think about how I look. I know I have loose skin where I didn't 10 years ago, but for me, it is about comfort and, if that means someone has to look at something they would rather not, that is their problem, not mine. That said, I won't be going naked in public anytime soon (unless on a nude or topless beach in Europe where sensibilities about those things are more advanced), but I have finally gotten to the point where I accept my body as it is. |
