A few months ago, when Sam and I were planning to hustle ducks at the Winter Swim Festival, I suggested we get Hawaiian shirts to feel tropical and festive in the frozen tundra. We found what seemed to be the perfect shirt at Goodwill - comfy, cute, and breathable. Hooray!

Dun dun DUN…

I got the flu, we couldn’t go to the event, and the shirt has hung unworn in the closet. Sam pulled it out to wear to vend at the BeaverFreezer tri this morning, which is when (at 3:30 am) we discovered the shirt’s cute print went overlooked and was NOT appropriate or our vibe.

Yep, it’s a rifle Hawaiian shirt made by Retro Rifle. Sam swears it didn’t have guns on it until this morning - how could we have missed them?!? “Did you know that shirt we got to match our flamingoes has guns ALL OVER IT?!?!?”

No folks, we did not.

So, we attended the event in our Quack Quqck Motherduckers shirts… and have to figure out what to do with rifles ‘r us.

Tow floats save lives. Please, fellow race directors, help rescuers help your participants by requiring tow floats for all swimmers. At least give us a chance to start lifesaving measures.
