I’ve never been into sunglasses. But I need to get some before my eyes get even worse. Actually I had an eye test in April. My eyes are fine. But I now need reading glasses in the evening or in low light.

But. In TSP13 I mentioned that athlete 703 on one of the postcards was maybe wearing Oakley Factory Pilot sunglasses.

A keen listener, Doug, picked me up on my use of the word sunglasses. He was right. Oakley stated in their magazine ads that sunglasses were good for nightclubs and press conferences. But for triathlon you need Eyeshades.
