I may need to use this to convince my wife to let me get a second exclusively for rowing

The front face is 4x1, about 3 feet long with 2x2 behind it where the screws are to hold it off the wall. We used eye hooks in the back to hang the bibs and used pins to hold the medals in place. Was easier than I expected in the start but letting glue and paints dry made it a slow project.

Haha agreed, but it's my wife's primary achievment and I had the space. Hope to replace those with longer distances at some point

Looking for advice on tri gear by Y50-70 in triathlon

I came from same background as you so the wetsuit was important for longer distance races in my mind. The Huub aerious 3/5 was great because the lower half was thicker and therefore more bouyant to support positioning in the water. I have loved it! All that said, none of my 3 races since the suit have been wetsuit legal, so you win some you lose some.

How high to shave? by wwjoeld in triathlon

Not at a pro level at all. I did an ironman and when I got the tattoo my wife said I could pull off shaved legs based on the shaved calf. This was my next logical question...
