OSIM Singapore International Triathlon 2010 (10th April 2010)

The damage is SGD 94.16 and only 2/3 of the race completed due to cancellation of swim resulted from lightings. I thought I would be able to complete my first SPRINT Tri last week but obviously my goal has to be deferred.

Speedo Rift Tri-Power Goggle

Speedo Rift Tri-Power Goggle review:




I bought a pair of Speedo Rift Tri-Power Goggle a month ago, thinking of using it during the upcoming Osim Triathlon, for swimming in the sea.

The design of the goggle looks good, I bought the one with orange lens. The large lens, couple with ultra anti-fog feature provides very good visibility.

However, once I started my swim in the pool, everything goes down hill. May be the design of the goggle are for westerners, so it is kind of too big for asian ladies like me.

Water sips into my goggles too often, no matter how I adjust. Even I have tighten the strap, the goggles are unable to hold for more than 30M and have to stop my swim and clear the water away. Sometimes I tried too hard to tighten and I can feel a "mask squeeze" which makes my eyes feeling very uncomfortable.

I don't ever think I can use the pair of goggles when swimming in the sea, which defeated the purpose of buying this pair of goggles in the first place.

Stella McCartney / Adidas Launch Triathlon Range

The Osim Triathlon is coming next month (10 April 10) and I wanted to race in style. I shopped around for popular tri suit brands like Zeet and 2XU. The good ones are about SGD 250+. I was thinking that it is not worth to spend the money since I don't wear those tri suit that often, till I saw the tri suit from Stella McCartney. The price range is similar to the one I like from 2XU but it looks better, it has a more feminine touch. See product catalogue at Adidas site here The tri suit is sexier than it looks on the website, the back and around the hip area features mash (or semi-translucent) fabric.

I really wanted to get it but they run out of my size, just my luck that I couldn't wear it for my Osim tri. Anyway, I am not fit enough to look good on a tri suit as there is no way to hide the belly fat. In the end, I settled for a tri bike shorts from 2XU as it is the cheaper option (and I can hide my belly fat). I intend to wear a sports top and rash guard for swim and will change to a bicycle Jersey for bike and run.

Recently I want back to the Adidas shop and saw one of the tri swim was damaged at the back zipper area. I guess the mash fabric at the back is too fragile and the suit might not last.

It is a high price to pay for looking good.
