Title: Wear your Goggles!!!!
Post by: Colorado700R on September 27, 2008, 01:35:59 PM

I forgot to post these up after my last trip to Walden (Labor day).  A rock shot up from my buddies paddles while I was following him over some woops.


My googles saved me from a serious shot between the eyes (I had scratches from impact on my face from where the goggles exorbed the impact)

swimmers with poor eyesight get corrective goggles... but what do triathletes do?  do you wear your contacts underneath the goggles?

I wear my contacts when I ride, glasses are a PITA.
