Pause March 2, 2010
Posted by LK in : compression, personal , 2commentsSo yall aren’t left wondering, this week posting may be sporadic because I am preparing for a short trip overseas, while still working full-time (thankfully) and working on interesting projects with my free time. LycraKeen is probably the most fun thing I spend my time on, and from the comments I know there are some fans out there.
There are a few other announcements:
I’d like to get rid of some of my stuff. I have too much spandex! While, in a sense, we can never have enough, I estimate that if I wore spandex every day, it would take around two weeks for me to go through what I have. (Plus, I’m upgrading to some high-end bike gear, so I should part with the stuff I have that is not really being used.) In the near future I’ll be figuring out how to make my stuff available to you guys.
I have some cool new ideas for this website, like I have had before. Finding time and making them happen, of course, is another challenge.
Weekends January 26, 2010
Posted by LK in : personal , 3commentsSorry about these weekends that go a little long, leaving you with the same image at the top of the page for days. I get busier later in the week, and then on weekends I’m usually trying to get quality time with the BF. So that means if I don’t plan ahead on Monday or Tuesday, I’m screwed.
What I was up to yesterday … One day of the week that I spend working on my own projects. I decided to wear a tight-fitting blue UA shirt, and tights to go with it. I put on a jacket for a little modesty. Basically I’m dressed for the gym but I’m just sitting around programming on my laptop. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that this is a public place with WiFi and all. Probably the most notable thing was that I didn’t get looks or stares. Perhaps it wasn’t so out of place after all.
Continuing with posts of pictures, videos, etc — ideally I’d like to source original material, as in actually going to events, models, and so on. This so you don’t get stuff already passed around the net (as what most blogs, including mine, do). Short of that, I do go through a lot of photos and videos and select only a few to post. There’s probably 10 things that don’t get posted for every one that does. This is how I might get some quality and provide some added value through this kind of editorial process.
What I started out doing with this blog is trying my best to find original photos and recognizing it as such, which is why I’ll try (if I don’t forget) to link to where I found it. So while I’m already plagiarizing, at least there is an attempt to document it. I really appreciate comments on posts that tell me the real source, like the swimskin model who is actually this European athlete.
I continue to enjoy getting all the visitors to this blog, and maybe I’ll get around to fulfilling the various promises I’ve made.

Looking for a spandex hood November 22, 2009
Posted by LK in : personal , 1 comment so farAny recommendations?
Having worn a balaclava, my main issue is that I don’t like having my breath trapped. Also, I need to see. So, with these in mind, what hoods are there that are both good looking and comfortable? I’d like to have this for winter, and also for making some new videos of myself.
I’m considering the UA Coldgear.
Men in Heat November 16, 2009
Posted by LK in : cycling, personal , 1 comment so farOne of my co-workers recently joined a bike racing club, and he got one of their team kits. I openly commented on his new gear, saying “you look so hot in those.” Seems like all the other guys at work like it too. It’s an open joke now that we all have a crush on him when he’s in the spandex. He certainly doesn’t mind — he rides his bike to work probably to give himself a reason to show off his bike and his butt.

Austin Update October 24, 2009
Posted by LK in : personal , 1 comment so farSo you guys might like to know that the hills just outside of Austin defeated me. I went out for a 25 mile ride, nothing but hills. At mile 23 my legs cramped up and I had to call to have someone get me. I still enjoyed trying to prove myself.
The Livestrong event was also today and while I didn’t go see the ride itself, I did see a lot of people, and spandex at the bike shop. There was a guy in a all-white kit that I really really wanted for a picture, but there was no way I was gonna do it without being a total creep.
The weather here is perfect right now.

The lighting was horrible. And this is one of the better pictures from the batch. Once I get the photography better I’ll show more of the stuff I have.
As you can see I’m not really built for wrestling. I usually end up in defensive positions when I try it. But I’m a HUGE fan of wrestling singlets. This black one is my favorite because of its silky thin material and the way it holds my package when I wear it.
Austin TX October 19, 2009
Posted by LK in : personal , add a commentThis coming weekend, Oct 23-25, I’ll be in Austin for a personal getaway and to enjoy the fall weather. If any of you are around I’d love to meet you guys. If you have a bike, let’s ride!
