So, check it out. Coach-type man Chris Martin thinks that some of the run issues I had at Timberman may have been caused by overheating and that if I had used a tri top without sleeves and tight enough to tuck a sponge or two in, I may have been more comfortable out there.
I can dig it, it makes sense. I normally race/train in stuff with sleeves 'cause, well, I've lost about 40 pounds since I've started triathlon training (down from 220+ since mid 2002). I'm, like, all sensitive about hanging flesh out there for (1) people to see and (2) be jiggling around.
Well, I've made the big move and placed and order with GoTriSports.com for a Sugoi Irod Tri Tank, in the spiffy blue color. I just want to say, the guys at GoTriSports have the best attitude I've come across in triathlon sales. Sure I've only heard their voice-mail message and talked briefly on the phone, but, damn, there was a lot of energy in those calls.
I have no idea if their prices are the best, although the seemed pretty good, if the shipping will actually get to me, or even if the right product will end up in my hot little hands, but for sure I would place another order with them.
More information on the order and fit of the top when it shows up.

That's a pretty bad-ass jersey! I need something like that to race in!

I really like the pockets in the back, but can't seem to find a good picture--rather than the two or three smallish pockets that are hard to get at, this jersey has two fairly deep, angled pockets in the back. Hopefully they'll be easy access! When the jersey gets in, I'll let you know.
