"Fancy Clothes"

They say the clothes make the man.

Well that's probably bullshit but regardless I figured it can't hurt so I went and bought this. It's my new race suit intended specifically for triathlon. And it is incredible! I wore it today just to try it out and I am very happy. It is of course intened to be worn for all events. Gone are the old days of changing your clothes for Ironman events. Back in my old triathlon life stuff like this never even existed.



Today I rode 33 kms in just under an hour and then a short run of 4.5 kms, and it felt good in both disciplines. The material is supportive and yet not restrictive in any way. I will of course put it away now and use it only for racing. With what I had to pay for it, it needs to last for about 10 years!

I wish to dedicate day 221 to my Ome Hank Scheepers, my moms brother. I'm not sure why he came to mind today or if he's even alive, but I remember him with pleasure.

If your hair wasn't buzzed so short, you'd look like you are 30 dad. The training has clearly had an impact on your body. You look great.
