TSP21: My First Wetsuit. My Favourite Wetsuit. One I’d Like To Get Hold Of. And Some History.

10/02/24 • 31 min

I’m back on the mic for TSP21. It’s all about wetsuits. I tell you about my first triathlon wetsuit. That I bought from total Fitness in Swindon at the end of 1989. And go over my favourite wetsuit ever.
There’s also plenty of triathlon history. Including a 1986 international wetsuit kerfuffle story. Based in Milton Keynes. And you'll find out which 1980's wetsuit I like to find on eBay one day.

Previous Episode

TSP20: The 1991 St Croix Triathlon

We’re back with Season 2. I’m hoping to do more and better in 2024. Maybe aiming for one episode every fortnight.

I’m also reunited with my most popular guest slash co-host. According to the Buzzsprout statistics at least. My brother Luke.

The event we are focusing on today is the 1991 St Croix Triathlon.

Starting in 1988 St. Croix was one of a few early season races where a lot of the best athletes showed up. And in 1991 the event was the first ever stop on the new ITU World Series.

Next Episode

TSP22: The 1993 Bordeaux Indoor Triathlon

In this episode Luke and I do another 1990s race watch-along. This is our 3rd one. Check out TSP14: The 1992 Nice Triathlon and TSP20: The 1991 St. Croix Triathlon. To listen to what we said about those two races.
Today we are looking at the 1993 Bordeaux Indoor Triathlon. An event that TED magazine called. A turning point for the sport. A day as historical as the first Hawaii Ironman or first Nice triathlon. Knowing what we know now I don’t quite agree with this. The format did go somewhere. But not far.
