Yes, we know.....

Why is it that some people who have done a triathlon have to broadcast it via their attire. Swimming beside one such chap this morning, I wanted to say, "Yes, we know, you did a tri, good for you." He was actually in his gear, sporting a red bathing cap, complete with #91 on the side. Gamely, he raced through one lap, but then had to stop, catch his breath, put on his specs and read his next set. It was hilarious. Too bad he also thought wearing a hideous speedo was appropriate. Why do 60-year-old men have to sport speedos? Come to think of it, why does any man wear a speedo? They are grotesque and disconcerting. It would be like me wearing a bikini. Help!

Reminded me of when we went to Hawaii a few years ago for an international meet. Days before the event, participants were seen lounging about in cafes and restaurants...wait for it...in their racing gear! Oh, the "scene" is irrepressible.
