I came across this on a race calendar... http://queencitytiming.com/race_pages/bare_hare_sprint_tri.htm I can't imagine biking naked for any distance to be very fun... Shocked

Running and swimming? eh...doable Big grin

It would be a cool t-shirt to add to the collection.

Yikes! but why would they give away a t-shirt when the race is in the buff. Good figleaf would suffice. Seems basackward.

Not much competition...most AG only had one entrant last year... Naked biking sounds bad. And quite frankly I need my sports bra to run. Nekkid swimming very good.

Things that intrigued me: Race organizer's name is Butts. Is that for real? You need site owner's permission to bring a gun? To a tri? Maybe they also do nekkid biathlons? No, that can't be as they probably don't get much snow.

Its in North Carolina. Really near my sisters house. I am pretty sure they bring guns to the grocery store.

Wow, I just sent this on to my running/tri buddies. I think this would be fun! Funny though, to me the swim would be the most dangerous! Don't want some fish thinking he's gettin a big dinner!

Just read about the nude tri.......did you notice who to contact for more information???? QUESTIONS? Call Sue Butts, 704-880-4561 or email, BareHareSprint@aol.com I wonder if Sue Butts is her real name..................I know that I am normally up for about anything, but I think I would have to pass on this one......Im not that great of a swimmer and I'm not sure I could ride a bike in the nude.....can you imagine running some distance with only running shoes on (WONDER IF YOU CAN WEAR SOX or if thats against the rules)...... This whole thing would be too much for me to BEAR........
