 Up
  Neoprene Balaclava or Hood?         


Author: JonLPXC
Date: Sep 5, 2008 19:43

In open water swimming, I get cold very quickly (ectomorph with pencil
neck). I've got the neoprene cap, titanium-lined neoprene top and
shorts, but am still having trouble (even with water temps in the low
70's).

Because the coldness comes on when I'm doing crawl (versus
backstroke), I'm assuming I loose a lot of heat from my neck/face.
And since I already look ridiculous with the red neoprene cap, thought
I might as well go all out with a hood, to get the neck coverage.

Can anyone recommend one that's thin enough to be reasonable for
swimming (2 - 3 mm) and is available in the states? (Seems to be a
popular item in the UK.)

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Why do most swimmers pull their cock "UP" in their speedos???? whether
diving or swimming, its seems there would be less friction with it going
down.

Also seems to me like you may be more open to getting racked by the
water if the cock is up when diving?

I'll admit, as i'm sure we all would, it's great that way though!

It almost makes sense that gymnasts would do it, to try to keep a large
cock or balls out of the way of the moves they have to make.

It reminds me of a conversation on another newsgroup. One guy said that the
cost of pizza by the slice had gone up and the ONLY reason possible was the
increase in the cost of peperoni. Someone else said, "How can you forget
that milk has also gone up?" and another writer wrote "Well, so has the cost
of cheese!" And the first guy kept on insisting, that no, it was due to the
price of peperoni alone because..."I have heard from many people who like
pizza and they all believe it is due to the price of peperoni! Why don't the
rest of you understand this?"

  Is there any benefit to me to learn the new breaststroke?         


Author: Pat

Okay, I admit I learned the breaststroke back in the days when you had to
keep your forehead (or was it your eyebrows) above water. Then, it became
something almost entirely underwater, and now it is bobbing up and down like
a cork on the top of the water. IF I decide to try to learn this new
change, how do I proceed? How does one keep themselves on top of the water
like that? Should I drastically shorten the arm movement
---or perhaps just
do more of them and faster? Do the leg movements change?

It seems like an egg-beater to me....

  British man who had sex with a bicycle sentenced

Man who had sex with bicycle sentenced

By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent
Last Updated: 2:35AM GMT 15 Nov 2007

A "cycle-sexualist" caught half-naked in a compromising position with his
bicycle has been put on probation for three years.

Robert Stewart's unlikely perversion has been analysed in chat rooms around
the world after he was caught by two cleaners who walked in on him in a
hostel room.

The 51-year-old was naked from the waist down and when the women opened the
door he paused only to ask, "What is it, hen?", before continuing to "move
his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex".

The police were called and at a hearing last month Mr Stewart was placed on
the sex offenders' register after admitting a sexual breach of the peace.

The case has prompted criticism of "loony British laws", but he ended up in
court because the "shocked" cleaners said they had knocked repeatedly before
opening the door.

  Kitajima was the other amazing swimmer at Beijing!!

This guy to me is just right behind Phelps as far as the story of
mens swimming in Beijing. He wins gold in both of his breast stroke
events in Beijing just like he did in Athens, breaking the world
record in 100m. Mind you..he is only 5'10". I expect Phelps to swim in
these two events for 2012. It will be an awesome race, but i think
Kitajima will still reign supreme.

dechuka,

It is more important for you to answer this post that exposes your
pure unadulterated blatant racism.

Key word here: "variant."
