  1. I have a toenail puncture in the front quad of my Ironman wetsuit. Is there
    anyway I can fix this, or am I hopelessly screwed? It does not go all the
    way through the suit, but I want to fix it before it gets worse.

    By the way, there was an unfortunate event this weekend at my race. A young
    man died in the swim of my race. Click on link to see video.

    Yes, this can be easily fixed if you use neoprene specific glue and
    have not got anything like petroleum jelly where the "nick" is.

    Check with a local dive shop if you have one. They always have the glue
    tubes, if not try this google search for a local supplier or order off
    the net.

    I've heard people have had success with super-glue type glues bought
    from a hardware store, but since I have a small tube of Aquaseal glue
    I've never tried.

    It is a great shame about Chris, I read about it on google news.
    Reminds how precious life is and why we have to make the most of it.
    Next time out on an early morning ride with the sun just coming up,
    I'll think of him!

  3. believe it or not - a bike tube patch works quite well.

    It looks pretty strange...but trust me : they work.
