aero advantage

As I ponder another handful of races this year, I can't help but wonder what I can do to finally beat little Sally, the girl on the Barbie bike with the streamers who rides on the sidewalk alongside the RATL course.

I could do intervals, but I am too lazy.

I could loose weight, but I like to eat too much.

I could buy a new carbon fiber wonder...a RED one, but the economy sucks.

So I'm thinking I can get more aero. Of course my gut gets in the way of back going any more than a 90 degree angle to the ground...so I need to get more aero without having to reduce my wind profile.

I'm thinking of buying a skin suit and doing Botox....whaddya all think?
