30th May. Ironman.

My secret weapon arrives for The Sunday Showdown from ebay in a padded envelope, an article that looks remarkably like an edwardian bathing suit, bearing the logo IRONMAN.

This device should pay a handsome dividend of up to a saving of one whole minute in Transition 1 by dint of emergence from the water straight on to one's bike without recourse to additional garmentry.

"What d'you think?" I ask, modelling in front of Isabelle, who is reclined in front of 'The One Show.'

"I can see your bits, it's not meant to point that way surely? You can't go about like that!"

"The cold water will cause a certain amount of shrinkage." I reply.

More Rubberboy than Ironman.
