I really enjoy reading the Science of Sport Blog. Their #3 sports science story for 2008 involves the controversial Speedo LZR Racer--the space age swimsuit many feel is partly responsible for the 25 world records broken at the Olympic Games in Beijing. The blog does an an interesting review of the ruckus raised by the suit this past year, including the fact that a number of swimmers were wearing up to three suits at a time to enhance buoyancy. Here's the post.
So let's see...if I were to layer three LZR suits, it would cost me about $1,600 to maybe swim fast enough to be beat the 10 year olds on my kids' team!

Don't Stop Believing
My kids picked Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" as the theme for Ironman '06. As they hoisted the sign at the swim start, I thought, "Oh yeah, I'm going to make it!"
