Would you get a load of those LEGS! Woohooo!

I'm guessing the second pic was AFTER you retrieved your fallen shoe?

I don't know if they took pics at the race today, but I'll find out and post em if they do.

Rather than try to post some photos to the thread, I'll just link to the album of photos from my first tri a few weeks ago.

Yeah man your quads are about as big as my whole body, you must be able to rock the biking section eh?

From Pine Barrens Duathlon (2/24/2) two weekends ago. Had a really poor race with cramps both on the bike and absolutely killing cramps on the 2nd run. Had fun though!!! :)

Jennings...there are two ways. The way I did mine above was through the "Manage Attachments" button at the bottom. If you do it this way, the pics need to be 100K or less.

The other way is through the "Insert Image" button. That one allows you to enter a URL and link to the image rather than uploading it to the BF server. Like this...

At my last tri (Olympic distance) a guy was wearing a cape. He may have won the whole thing. I saw him on the run - he was really moving. The cape must have been hot and slowed him down though.

I have attached the only pic I could get to less than 100k. Me and my wife after that tri over labor day.

I wish I had pics. This dude was totally built, wearing a red white a blue tri suit with a long red cape that came down past his knees. It was a riot. He was also running what must have been a 6 min mile. Kind of arrogant of him - but he was able to deliver the goods - so good for him.

Cornrows - I should try that.

use the print screen button... and then paste into photoshop or microsoft paint or whatever your favorite image editor is.

all I asked my parents to do when they came to my last duathlon was take a picture of me while I was cycling (I've never actually seen what I look like riding), instead I get this : a picture of me running.....from behind.... :rolleyes:

never mind the ass-less-ness, what about the tan-less-ness?! ;) Of course I realize that skin without a tan is actually healthy skin...

hah.. yeah that tan was pretty slick eh?
Well for the beginning of the summer I would usually go out cycling in a regular jersey and then run in just a sweat shirt which resulted in a nice farmers tan as you can see. About a month before that race I finally bought some triathlon clothes and gave everyone the pleasure of seeing my horrid tan lines :p
(it's better now, I promise!)

A family friend did the same to me as I finished my half ironman a year ago. She missed the front shot so she got my backside passing under the finish line. Photographic evidence indicated that I have the opposite type of ass, the kind the orca women's speedo suit doesn't quite cover...while I can't recover the 5 or so hours I spent flashing the world, I now race in a different suit.

Or press print screen(on top left of keyboard), then in MS Paint, click edit>paste. then Use the highlight tool(top left of toolbar, which is on the right of screen). Outline your picture, then press ctrl+c, then go file>new, then press ctrl+v, and save where you want to. Just another way, its faster then it sounds.

Yeah, and I want to know what genius at Speedo decided to call a women's suit "orca" *

Honestly... generally I like to avoid using terms related to whale, cow, pig, and the like in the same sentence as bathing suit.

*please don't tell me that it was the genius who decided orcas are sleek and fast and top-of-the-food-chain predators

Well, they were going to go with "I'm a female piranha with PMS, so get out of my way" but that wouldn't fit on the suit, and they laid off the marine biologist the week before, so the biology-challenged manager just picked `orca' because he thought it was cute.

Funny post Aquagirl...I actually laughed out loud. My wife always shakes her head when I do that sitting in front of the computer.

I never thought of orca that way but totally agree with you. Based on racergirl's account, maybe they should call it the Full Moon :)

Oh man...I had a post that went:

"Besides, ___ , ___ , and ___ were taken already."

I thought it was more important to maintain a sense of decorum in the Tri forum, so I deleted the post.

:D
Well, I didn't mean to offend. I'm just decorum challenged, as my wife will be only too happy to attest...

Hah! I was hurting! (I hadn't really trained properly.) But I'm glad I was able to hide it from all the racers who blazed by me.
