This summer I received an amazing pair of SUGOI Velocity tri shorts. It was my first piece of SUGOI clothing and my first official tri shorts, even though I've been a triathlete for 14 years! Over the years I've worn a swimsuit, bike shorts or plain spandex for triathlons of all distances. Not any more!WOW - tri shorts are incredible! And these slinky shorts soon became my "Mrs. Incredible shorts" AKA Elastigirl from The Incredibles. The Hydro-Shifter fabric is amazing -- it's made to cut through water and air and it feels awesome against my skin. (Picture: right, me goofing around in May with my new shorts.

Recently I applied to become a SUGOI Brand Champion. It made sense. I loved my shorts and Brand Champion athletes receive discounts on special training and racing gear. Hmmm... More tri shorts!! Brand Champions also receive support at major running and triathlon events in North America. I was happy to find out this week that I'm on board with SUGOI Brand Champions -- thanks SUGOI!

Congrats! I love, love, love, love Sugoi stuff. You MUST try their bike shorts if you haven't already- whoa! I'm not saying they'll change you life, but if I had to put my money on a piece of clothing that could/would change your life, my money is on their bike shorts.
It took me about 1.4 seconds to get a pair of tri shorts- I think it was actually my first tri-specific purchase :) But my favorite tri gear (does it count as gear?) is my bike! LOVE my bike even though I'm a disaster on it :)
You rock!
