I'm off to swim in Greece, then do an Ironman in Florida, then do some w*rk, so I'll be scarce for 4 weeks.
Dangerous Dave is now the kit monkey, so hassle him. Although all he really has to do is make sure they get the right skull and the right colour on the kit design, and get the fit kit sorted in time for the November social.
dave - just sent you the revised skull picture wot mellsy did. make sure they get that one on the kit, or you'll walk the plank, you scurvy son of a sea dog.
Right well I will go for the ladies two piece and the ladies top and shorts as on the list, if there are enough takers for ladies specific kit, if not I will be prepared to have two sets of each, I will wear it for other races and training if it fits well. I have my shopping head on today, just bought some top quality art, in the form of a beautiful pair of purple leather stiletto sandals.
I just want something that will fit me and be comfortable, I don't buy menswear for sport for that reason, 12 hours s a long time to be wearing something that doesn't do the job.
Just read the last page - havent gone back the 20 odd pages I guess I have missed I last posted a day or 2 ago. ....Are we near ordering??? ....Who, When and How is money being collected. ....Candy - I cant believe I am saying this - but I think you are a star for not kicking this baby out of the window ages ago - its a flippin nightmare. ....Good luck in IM Florida - it will be a doddle.
Can we change the yellow.... Pink is nice with spots - did you see that blokey in Hawaii all in pink inc hair - he was quick too and the youngest Mens entrant.
Only joking - love the design - lets just get them.
have just gone through the last few pages and found the kit page, VERY SMART, think carefully about yellow though or we will be covered in flies!! big dave wants to do the ironman just to wear the kit!! cant find where the november social is, could someone let me know the date and venue would like to come and meet everyone and try on the kit, dont know whats best to have. cheers
Monique, am with you on that. Am a lady not a man, therefore would prefer to wear lady-not-man kit. No-one answered my Q of a week or so ago which was - do the skins (or any of the kit) have an in-built bra bit? Does anyone know about this..? I only really want to buy something that has cos, well, I need a bra, see.
Not meaning to be anti-girlie-kit but it is worth trying on the mens kit. I've got a blokes orca skin which is really comfortable even though I think I'm quite girlie shaped. Just put sports bra underneath.
I'm pretty sure there won't be built in bra bits as everything has zips down the front. Personally though I think it is better without as if you are wearing it all day it is better to have a real bra that fits properly.
If the girls all want girlie kit I'm happy to help make up the numbers.
At last someone who understands, you are spot on about the built in bra bit Nic, who wants umpteen soggy layers that rub just because the guys want to knock 5p off the price of their kit. Come on sisters insist on female kit!!!!!!

Will rethink my order and post forthwith.

It would be good if a number of the potential ironmaners (I don't care if it's not a word as it damn welll should be) are present.

Shocking write up:
Doggetts Pub
(That's what happens when you don't wear a sports bra, ya see)
(or boy) depends if you are a cotton or lycra man
Or is that your idea of turbot training?
