I saw this photo posted on www.xtri.com from last weekend's Oceanside 70.3 race. If this is legal, what the hell have I been busting my butt for?!?! That's it...my Vespa scooter has just officially become my new tri bike.

There was one person in my wave last week that used a snorkel..is that some high tech snorkel?!
yup it's legal. You do get a 5 minute penalty for looking like a dork though.
It might be more fun to combine this with a shark fin on the back, for those ocean swims
This really cracked me up!
And a 5 min penalty is just not enough, imo!
SO FUNNY. We were seriously talking about this last night at our Red Licorice meeting. It IS legal! If we weren't friends, I would dump water in your tube if you wore it...
Yes, snorkels are legal in many local tris in my area. But I thought they were not in Ironman races. Guess the rules have changed.
That just isn't right! All the wasted time on perfecting my stroke when I could just get some scuba tanks and swim underwater.
Yeah, I read on some tri forum those were ligeal.. crazy eh? I bet we're gonna start seeing them more and more...
PS - Nice job on your first tri of the season, great pics too!
P
Holy cow. I totally need one of those.
That would be awesome! I'm such a slow swimmer that it might actually be worth the 5 minute penalty. But no, I'll resist the urge to try it.
