What's Working..and Not: New SPLISH Suits!


What's Working: How cute are these right? I mean c'mon, a sweet DRATW (Double Rainbow All the Way) suit, coupled with a semi forced I *heart* swimming (and I will not complain!) suit to get my @$$ in the pool. It's just what the doctor ordered! I've been eyeing these SPLISH puppies now for months. MONTHS. But after Vineman, I figured why emark on a new suit? Just let the old ones ride out their time til now. Well now's the time, and Santa brought me suits. YES!

What's NOT Working: While my Dear Hubby Santa was spot on for thin vs. super thin straps and design, but he got me 100% polyester vs. poly/span ones. Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked to get 100% poly as they will last much longer than the poly/span mix (because they just don't stretch). But that means...I need a larger size. These are WAY too small! Wah!

DWATWM! (Double Wah! All The Way Man!)

So they're being returned as I type, and now I get to anxiously await the new suits in a week or so. Aw well, it gives me the excuse to not swim til' then right? HA!

And I'm sure you'll see more of these beauts in future posts, but had to show em' off now!

And now all YOU:  What swim, bike, or run apparel did you get/are getting to fire you up for 2011? Would love to know!;-0

No apparel, but I did get an iPod! Now I don't need to carry my phone if I want music when I run.

Cute suits! Bummer about the suit size!
I actually got a full wetsuit! Yay! I have a sleeveless, but I'll need a full for IMAZ so I'm super excited about it!
All I got was a new water bottle. Not sure that will really get me motivated but it's nice to have a new one!

Love it! Double rainbow all the way; that vid is hysterical.

Hmmmm....bought some new suits back in November, flashy, colorful ones that keep swimming a bit more 'lively'. it's the one thing I have the most fun with.
I have Splish's aquaman suit. It's awesome! I love how fun their suits are.

Cute suits!! I've heard a lot of good things about Splish suits, but I've never had one myself.

New gear is such a good motivator for training! Just this morning, I ordered a pair of Zipp 404's! :) It was a clearance mismatched pair (2008 rear wheel, 2010 front wheel)... for $528 -- 75% off retail price! :D I am SO EXCITED because I didn't think I'd be able to afford Zipps any time soon.

AM-ZIPP wheels!?!? wow!!
Anne-Marie said…
Crap - go figure, as soon as I brag about my Zipp deal online, I get an email saying that they have stocked out and can't fill it :'( Bummer.

(there are still some good deals on other stuff - if anyone is interested: http://www.trisports.com/closeouts.html)

Ok, those suits are darling! I love them! I may have to look into one, for when I start swimming (shudder).

I was set to get a new Polar as my Christmas/Anniversary/Birthday gift, and discovered last night they are not Mac compatible. I'm desperately trying to figure out what will work out instead. Bummed! But, if that is the biggest of my concerns, I'm golden! :)

Those are really really cute!!!

I got a new pair of running tights and broke 'em in yesterday! Can't wait to see more of these suits!
Those are so cute!

I finally got ear clips for the ear buds for my iPod, which means now I can actually use it while working out, without the ear buds popping out of my ears every 1/2 second.

Cute suits. I have the I will swim every day. I added a clause that says *that I wear this suit because when I'd wear it after not showing up to the pool for a week people let me know.
Anna said…

I haven't gotten any running gear yet, but did get a new camera to capture running moments in 2011!!

I just ordered a Brooks running jacket. It will have some reflective stripes so I won't get run over by drivers when I run in the mornings. :) Can't wait!!!!

Hi! I loved your post, I want to buy one too...but I'm not sure about the size and what do you prefer thin or super thin straps? the spandex or the PBT ? I'm 58kg and 1,66cm ...any advise?
