I’ve received today my replacement race suit. I just tried it on and it is still tight (especially around the crotch (cue jokes)) despite being an L. However I was able to sit down this time. One thing I did notice about the suit was that it had a diagram on the flap that […]

Suit
To go with my new boots I bought a new suit. I measured myself and my chest, waist, and hip sizes indicated that I was a small, but at the upper limit of the height range. To be on the safe side I opted for medium and awaited delivery. When it arrived I tried it […]
