I was pondering this the other day when I saw the Brownlees in the Olympics....will our next batch of trisuits have to have the zip at the back?
Ha! Not yet I don't
They don anymore, its down the back ... obviously easier to grow hair
and No, Gladys, I do not
Could I order a pair of tri-shorts please (M) - preferably the longer leg version of they still do that.
Thanks
Afka - done and you have PM. It is important you give me your contact details at this stage as I am close to contacting everyone with prices and size charts and you could miss out on the order if I can;t get hold of you
Dermot - you are already on the list for Tri shorts
Schmunkee, could I be a real pain and change my order from a gilet to a cycle top pleasethankyouverymuch
Done
Kit List
Ta
Schmunkee I dont appear to be on the kit list,did you get my psof e mail?
2 cycle top,1 monaco and 1 tank
Schmunk - no, the rules for tri's are strict, you are not allowed to have your top undone, so GB and i guess other countries take away the chance of an athlete getting DQ by sticking th zip on the back.
You are on the list, you are just not in the main body yet, because I haven't checked PSOF mail yet
FF - thanks for the clarification
About the sizing coming up small - if I'm a medium in everyday clothes would I need a large for the Monaco or just stick with medium? I'm relatively skinny (38" chest!) apart from the beer belly (which will likely start to shrink - I was almost 2 stone lighter a couple of years back when I was running regularly).
Rustman.... I'd go for a size up if I were your cos they do come up on the small size. plus the extra size will hide your beer belly....
Can you put me down for a large Monaco please Schmunkee?
Thanks!
It's a 'how long is a piece of string' situation. I really can't say. It depends completely on interest and more to the point, whether there is sufficient interest in the items you want to buy.
You have to make the decision whether you want to guarantee getting the kit you want with this order or wait until next year when the numbers cannot be guaranteed.
Also, thinking about it further, to be able to provide kit in time for Outlaw an order would need to be submitted to LG mid/end April. The despatch of kit on the forthcoming order won't be complete until New Year
From a purely selfish point of view, I am not keen to be putting an order through so soon after this order unless numbers were sufficiently high enough to justify it.
For clarity, I would want two or three items to be at 16 units or more to make it worthwhile placing an order. I am not convinced that there will be that level of interest pre-Outlaw as it is usually after races that interest in kit/pirates peaks.
But you are more than welcome to garner interest in whatever kit items you want if you would prefer to wait until this order is finished.
I am thinking along the lines of wanting payment by mid October
I believe the order process is fully described in the first post of this thread
OK, I have a tank already, it's just that I think before long I'll want a smaller one, but I'll wait until the next order. Thanks Schmunks
