Here are some more information for Lens Boards:

Your Ironman swim-equipment includes some items that are optional and some that are essential.

Optional for training are pull buoys, hand paddles, kick boards, and swim fins...

PULL BUOYS-Like most rookie swimmers with low body fat, my legs would sink way to low in the water. I assumed I needed the buoys to keep my feet up and my body in a more or less stream-lined position. They also gave me a false sense of security and put added stress on my arms and shoulders.

HAND PADDLES-Quite often these are used in combination with pull buoys. Using these two together gave me shoulder injury and I missed 2 weeks of training in the pool.

KICK BOARDS-I just dreaded these things. Maybe in about 5 minutes I could do one length in the pool, but sometimes I would actually go backwards. If someone ever tries to hand you one of these...RUN!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

SWIM FINS-These can be useful when used at the proper time. When I was really concentrating on a particular drill, which sometimes meant slow forward speed, I would use swim fins.

CONCLUSION: I have used all of these pieces of swim equipment, and would suggest you don't use any of them except for maybe swim fins when working on your stroke. Learn the proper balance and buoyancy without any swimming aids and you will be far better off. Plus kicking isn't really that big of an issue for your Ironman swim if your swim stroke is smooth and efficient.

****NOTE I have no wish to undermine any swim coach or the training plan he has devised. I am just passing on to you what I have discovered over years of doing all the wrong things in the pool.

SWIM SUITS-Don't make the mistake of spending big money on swimsuits. On average I went through about four pair in a training year. If you are pool training(and probably most of you are)chlorine makes no distinction between expensive and bargin priced swim suits. It eats them all equally.

SWIM GOGGLES-It would be wise to try several different types of swim goggles. When you find a pair that feel really comfortable, don't leak, and don't fog up---put them away for your Ironman. I would recommend the large style of swim goggle that gives you wider vision. Also I would get them tinted in case of direct sun or reflection that can be very irritating.

LENS ANTI-FOG-Just to be safe, I always used this. It can't hurt to be cautious. Put it on your swim glass lense race morning to "guarantee" you won't have fogging problems.

WETSUITS-You can and should use these in every Ironman race, unless of course your first race is in Hawaii or some other tropical location. They do tend to give you more speed, because there is less friction, but the main function is to keep you warm. They can be expensive, but I would consider giving the internet a try. There are many very good companies that sell quality wetsuits and are knowledgeable about their product.

NOTE:As a rule, wetsuits do feel a bit tight and constricting out of the water, but are more comfortable "in" the water. So, don't automatically think it is too small for you because it feels tight.

Newest Trend In Sandwich Boards Is The Snap Frame

Sandwich boards and sidewalk signs that feature snap open frames are a rising trend because they make changing messages quickly- a real possibility. Snap frames feature quick clip technology allowing for easy loading and unloading capabilities. To load or change a graphic, simply snap open all four sides of the sign frame. Once you've finished placing your poster, letter board or acrylic write-on board, into the allotted space, just snap down the four sides of the frame, and you're done. Below are three prominent styles of sandwich boards that are used to market services or advertise specials inside or outside of an establishment.

• Sandwich boards with changeable letters present customized messages in a professional manner. Changeable letter boards featuring snap open frames are becoming very popular. These changeable sandwich boards offer superior legibility and are even visible from passing vehicles. These sidewalk signs are typically offered with black, white and sometimes red letters. The snap frame sign holder secures the letter boards behind a see through, protective lens which keeps the changeable letters from being tampered with. Replacement letter sets can also be purchased separately to add to their advertising flexibility.

• Sandwich boards with write-on surfaces are also known as marker boards. Why would having a marker board with a snap frame be necessary? Simply because the snap frame holds the protective overlay in place, keeping your dry or wet erase writing surface safe from the elements. These elements include moisture and rainy weather or passersby erasing your messages. Anti-glare lenses make viewing easy while they protect your designs. Many of these sandwich boards allow for the actual write-on surface or marker board to be removed from its snap open frame. This feature enables you to design the board without having to crouch down uncomfortably or lug the whole sign indoors to create your messages. In my experience, this does not apply to all, but when it does - it is definitely an added bonus.

• Sandwich boards that display posters are an industry favorite. When placed under snap frames, posters remain protected and are always easy to change. Typically, the poster is held in place by the snap frame under an anti-glare overlay. Snap frames eliminate the need to worry about moving your sandwich boards inside and out to change or update graphics.

These sandwich boards come in the form of portable a-frame signs for indoor and outdoor use, or in double-sided sidewalk signs with water-filled bases. Because snap frame technology is a rising trend, it is quickly becoming available in all styles of sandwich boards and sidewalk signs. Whether you are using letter boards, write-on marker boards, or double sided sidewalk signs with posters, quick clip technology has proven to be a highly useful framing system. Snap frames make any kind of advertising on sandwich boards simple.

I need help troubleshooting my Weejee Board. The lens isn't moving on its own. Do you think its broken?

Would it work better if I actually bought into that horseshit?

It's right there on the directions, if you happen to have any other board games lying around you have to move them to another room, demons get sidetracked, and sometimes would rather play monopoly.
