    I like my HUUB wetsuit but find the zipper cord too short. I noticed Georgia Taylor Brown tucks it in the front of her wetsuit so I do that now and find that helps a little. Looking forward to Lee's transition to elastic bands and shoes already clipped in. Lee can wear the fancy road shoes then as no need to run in them. Nottingham Sprint was my first OW triathlon back in 2008 where I got overtaken by a chap in a full Tuxedo and bow tie!

    • @TriathlonDan
      @TriathlonDan  2 місяці тому

      I tend to fold mine up into the zip, the HUUB one's come apart at the top which I think it patented, but you can't do anything when you can't see straight can you haha. I'm not, transition is the only edge I have on him!

      @@Shane_Finnegan brilliant, I’d go for a road bike every time. Much more usable and you get more for your money. My TT bike sits on the wall aside from 5-6 times per year, complete waste. I did the 70.3 relay on my road bike last week and really enjoyed it :)
