I’m not wearing it. Period.
It’s called the Orca Pro Killa Tri Suit. Orca is the brand, and I think that is a terrible brand name for women’s swimwear/triwear… Though “Killa” is also in the name… and I dig hood-speak, I cannnot put my body in clothing that sprays the word “ORCA” up the outer thigh.
That’s just mean. Plus, it’s wicked expensive. I am looking for a trisuit though - the Danskin is in 6.5 weeks and since this will be my 5th sprint distance triathlon, I think I may spring for something a bit more tri-ish. I do know this, whatever I choose, the branding/words on whatever I wear will not link me with a whale…. maybe I can find something that reads “Wicked Fast” or “Razor” or “Super, Super Fast Girl” or “Dellusional Girl”…
yeah, not so smart on the marketing end of that one, eh? mabye you should mass produce your stinkin’ beautiful shirts - could jut be the next craze!
I’m with Michelle. I will point out that no one is going to look at a triathelete’s body and think, “whale.”
Just Sayin’
Just googled this for ya:
“SPEED
Orcas are very fast swimmers. They can swim up to 30 mph (48 km) in bursts in order to catch prey”
Maybe that’s where they got the name for the suit!
And also, just checked ebay and there are some nice tri suits on there for about a fraction of the price.
Good Luck
ORCA…KILLS the competition?!?!?! Well, I thought it was funny anyways…
The important thing is how it feels when you run and so on…(not much of a runner myself so don’t know the details)
