I think it's funny there's no picture of her in or exiting the water ... did she swim? LOL

I don't know, but someone said they looked up her time and she spent 11 minutes in t1 or something they figured her zipper stuck on the wetsuit...regardless, that is a riot...I bet she lost like 20 pounds. :)

sounds like bs... i don't like to judge, but after looking at the helmet, camelbak, the fact that she's riding on the flip side of her toe clips, etc etc, i'm wagering that this was no accident.

Perhaps she forgot to bring her bike and swim gear? Kudos to her, though, for pulling this one through. Even if it's just a sprint. Yikes, the chafes!

Holy crap! I couldn't believe it when I saw what event it was..NYC is an Olympic...YIKES!!!

So here are her results:

Swim - 23:09
T1 - 11:20
Bike - 2:07:32
T2 - 3:16
Run - 1:15:49

Overall - 4:01:03 - That's right...over four hours in that wetsuit. I hope she won an award :)

Is it possible that she's wearing a swimming speedsuit and not a wetsuit? I gotta think this is the case. I can't imagine it possible to complete a tri in a regular wetsuit!
