Thge latest issue of Triathlete has an editorial from a guy who lists the
things he has learned getting back into the sport. Among them was to "shave
everything."

For someone who has never shaved anything that wasn't required to be shaved
for work, could someone enlighten me as to why shaving would/may be
advisable? thanks.

I have no idea. For the swim, you'll likely be wearing a wetsuit anyway,
and if you aren't and the race allows them you probably aren't fast
enough that shaving will make a difference. And the main reason to shave
your legs for the bike is so it's easier to clean up if you crash and
get road rash. As to "shaving everything," I can't see why you'd need to
shave unexposed areas unless you were trying to pay for that tri-bike by
working as a stripper.

Because if your fit it looks cool when lightly oiled, which the ladies
love.

Works in theory, except I have a sneaking suspicion Mark is trying to
rid himself of competition by giving that advice.

Agree with theory. Pratically is different with the missus around!
