Rich....I'd like a brief discussion of Body Glide versus Pam spray. I
have difficulty getting out of my full wetsuit after the swim (long
legs and long sleeves). I use generous Body Glide on wrist and ankle
areas which are the hangup. I don't want to make my suit
nonrepairable (so Q. Roo claims) by using sprays, but some say sprays
make suit removal easier, compared to Body Glide. Jerry House

about what will be covered in the camp. As I'm sure you've seen,
triathlon is a huge topic. We won't be able to cover everything
there is in just a few hours. If we plan well, though, we can get
through most or all of what you really need. So, below are a few
topics that generally seem to be worth including, and a a second list
of ones that may or may not be of interest. Absolutely nothing
(other than the date) is set in stone at this point, so if there's
something you'd like to cover (or something that you know more than
enough about), please speak up.

to mind are multi-year planning (i.e. when am I ready for an
Ironman), mental preparation, race-day etiquette, bike fit, and leg-
shaving 101 (just for the guys, presumably). The above lists are
simply things that people tend to find valuable. If you already have
any or all of those topics under control, suggest some others (and
let me know -- we may want you to teach). If any of them jump out as
something you've really been wondering about, let me know so I can
try to be sure it's included, or so I can arrange for some one-on-
one/small group attention for you.
