Luke McKenzie swimming in last week's Kailua-Kona Ironman - Note the t-shirt under his speedsuit!

Dave A. sent me this and it blew me away. Here you have Luke McKenzie of Australia swimming in 76-degree, Hawaiian, water while wearing a Chloroprene, blueseventy, speedsuit and it appears he is wearing a t-shirt underneath as well. I am flabbergasted! Was he chilly or something?

I think he kills the purpose of a speedsuit with shirt underneath.

The 'Ironman' is this weekend - The original 'Ironman" - The one Julie Moss made famous!

The 'Ironman' is 30-years-old this month and will take place on October 11, 2008. To pay homage to it, I am posting swim course maps from some of the fantastic locations where the event is held.

BTW, Julie Moss changed my life but she is probably so sick of hearing about it and my Triathlon claim to fame is that I did race against her in Kona!
