For some reason, sponsors have not been lining up to get behind a marginal mid-life triathlete who blogs from his mother’s basement, so I’ve decided to turn the tables and openly endorse Kiwami by wearing this beautiful kit at Rev3 Knoxville. There’s nothing like putting on a new outfit to pump up your day, and here’s hoping this bad boy feels like a million bucks while I’m touring Rocky Top. 
Now, this post should in no way signify that I am closing the door to future sponsors. In fact, I continue to seduce Pearl Izumi shoes and Swiftwick socks on a daily basis. So if you know anyone at their Headquarters, let them know I am not beyond stocking shelves to secure the privilege of wearing their logo. Hell, as Kiwami just found out, I may even pay to do it.
I have even turned to video to prove to Swiftwick that I have the guts to stand tall for their mighty sock in the face of a questionable swimming injury. (Start at the :50 mark if you simply want the good stuff).
