@Mariah Bridges - If not too much of an effort, can you add me to the Roka swim skin, the newer short sleeved type. I have a sleeveless but would like to have one that covers the EN Castelli tri top sleeves. Thanks!
Thinking of the EN people lined up for the race this year, I got to wondering, in the spirit of us being a learning organization and all, can you guys list your %BF and BMI (online calculators for that if needed), so the KQ wannabes can see just what it takes in terms of body comp to make the Big Dance? Just for kicks, since I've been there 6x, I'll start: 5.5%, 22.
I told them we had three but everyone who DOESNT HAVE A SWIMSKIN let me know your size and style AND address @Donnacha Holmes I’ll have yours sent to kona but i need Final sizing
@Al Truscott My BMI is 21.8. According to my Fit Bit Scale, BF averages around 7%, but I don't think it's accurate. It seems to fluctuate based on my hydration or something.
Hi @Mariah Bridges you’re the best! Thank you so much!! From the ROKA sizing charts a Medium size should work. I’m on the border of Small but I’ll go Medium just in case. Do you need my hotel address for Kona? Or do I pick it up somewhere & roughly when can I pick it up to try? Sorry for all the questions! Thanks again
Ok @Jeremy Behler I dont know if I cant you another one but I will try I just told them three and now I need to make four happen for Tom so , I'll let you know what I can do
I am sending this now
I have @Donnacha Holmes i'll connect with you in Kona to pick up
@Derrek Sanks MT - I dont have your address so I can have you pick it up in kona or send me your addy

@matt limbert@Jeremy Behler Racing with stryde, we will be doing a video shoot with them and I need to make sure you two are in kit and then we will be downloading your race info for a post event blog/content promotion just a heads up. I will be sending out all sponsorship and team events/goodies next week.
Hi @Mike Roberts Wonder can you help? Are you going to be in Kona before the Ho’ala Swim on the 6th? Reason I ask is it looks like I won’t get my Roka Swim Skin until Sunday/Monday 7th and I’ve never used one before so I was hoping I could use one for the Ho’ala Swim. If you’re there before the 6th could I borrow yours?
@Donnacha Holmes, unfortunately I arrive a few hours after the swim. But you wouldn’t get the feel of a sleeveless suit like mine anyway - you don’t even notice it’s on. You will, however, have plenty of days to get the feel of the short-sleeve on Sun-Fri. What you’ll learn in Ho’ala is the buoyancy, great underwater scenery, the swells and just how fast everyone is.
@Dave Tallo Thats my plane ... one a day Starting next week. Is this the right thread for that or should I start a new one dedicated to Kona mojo for the whole EN family?

Al - Build/race-time bmi is 20.5, bf on a Tanita is 8 ish. (with the same caveats that Derrek notes).
Off season, my bmi is what steak-lovers would call "beautifully marbled."
@Mariah Bridges - I just sent my address to you in a Group Me PM.
Thank you...You are the best!
@Mike Roberts I always make magic happen.

Based on my Withings Body+ I'm hovering in the 4.5-5% BF and BMI in the 20-21 range.

My wife (Kelli) and I will be there spectating and cheering you all on!
