@xavierdisley I have IM Wales in a coupe of weeks and I'm just thinking about final kit choices.
I'll be racing in a sleeveless tri-suit and I was wondering... other than maybe looking a bit of a twit, is there any reason I shouldn't try sticking your ATS strips on my arms? Are they likely to give similar benefits to putting them on my legs (which I'll also be doing)?
If I start them just above the crease of my elbow joint then they are long enough to slightly wrap over my shoulders. Since I'd have to put them on underneath my wetsuit, I'd be worried about them getting wrinkled up during the swim and so I might cut them a bit short so that they avoided my shoulders where the movement of the wetsuit is likely to be greatest.
Do you know of anyone else who has tried this? Is it likely to help?
