I've been successfully acquiring cash by selling various triathlon/cycling items on eBay. I need to come up with some money to buy a long sleeve wetsuit for Alcatraz. One of the leading brands of wetsuits is called Orca. I own a sleeveless Blue-Seventy that worked OK other the 'burn' it would leave on my neck every time I used it (soon to be sold to the highest bidder). I think it was a bit small, but wetsuits rub your skin off after an hour of swimming. So, Orca. Seems appropriate. I hope to God I don't run into an Orca Killer Whale drifting along in the San Francisco bay somewhere. I don't even want to see a minnow. Actually the sight of anything when swimming in the ocean makes my heart about burst. A plastic bottle or something can touch your hand and lead to a panic attack. I did an open water swim in college once from Fort Lauderdale with a few hundred swimmers and we were engulfed in a sea of jelly fish. What have I done? I'm not cut out for this. We shall see. Come June 5th I'm actually hoping to push that swim pretty hard and be in the top of the guys out of the water.
If you need a nice pair of gently used Rolf Prima Vigor wheels feel free to throw out your bid on eBay! Good luck! Or, maybe you need one of those goofy looking aero helmets? The ones that save you 40 seconds over a 40km time trial? Huh? My Giro is going up for sale soon.
