From my friend John I didnt know they had mesh to keep bees out of helmets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a rudy project helmet, it looks expensive but it's really comfy, the specialized helmets are nice as are the giros. You have to try them on, sometimes a helmet will catch you in the ear with a bit of plastic, while for another person will fit great.

One thing I like about the new helmets is a nice mechanism to lock the helmet to the back of the head and some mesh over the front vents to keep bees out.

Tri class time trials tonight.

Swim 100 yards, but did it in 1:28 so thrilled about that. Thought I would be 2:15 to 2:30

Can't do long time trials with 41 in the class and only 10 lanes of short course pool.

Run 2 miles 14:46 meh. PR but not nearly as exciting as the swim.

Wow... I didn't know that either.  Very cool.  Too bad, I just bought a new helmet not too long ago.  I'll have to find it on the intrawebz and tell Falls Runner whose blog title is something akin to Year of the Bees and his current sting count is 26 for the season.
