It is www.modestswimwearsolutions.net and they sell ready-made, custom-made, and patterns for swimming outfits. The nice part is that because they are so modest, I can pretty easily wear it for all three events in the triathlon! The downside is that they don't offer a pattern in my size, so I would need to order a custom-made suit, which is quite costly!!! I need a suit and I only need one. It might be worth the cost.<BR/><BR/>As for the YIKES! factor, I am not planning on running the Ironman! The sprint distance triathlon is a 1/2 mile swim, 13 mile bike, and a 3 mile run. That is pretty accomplishable (is that a word???) at least for goal-setting and weight loss. I have a good book that details a 12 week training plan though I have complete confidence in it taking longer than that. I will probably not run a triathlon for another year but it is a fun goal to keep in mind as I work on those events...you should try it!!! (but of course, I would say that...)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12154863835190185988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168117042097262020.post-21517014526782596922008-08-20T12:41:00.000-06:002008-08-20T12:41:00.000-06:00Triathalon?
