My first Half IM and I was fairly undertrained. Pulled up into the transition area and there were people around on either side. I braked to a stop, but because my ankles were so tired, I couldn't snap out of my pedal and I fell sideways (lucky thing they had thrown a bunch of carpet on the ground right where I fell). A little kid yelled, "Hey mister - you fell on your butt!" A few people started to laugh. That was really embarrassing.

At another race, I was coming out of the water and about to enter T1 when some girl (another racer) was running back towards the water. I had no idea why she was going the wrong way but we ended up colliding and my elbow hit her breast - she yelled "OWWWW!". In my confusion, I asked if she was alright and reached out and grabbed her breast (I wasn't being a pervert - it's just an instinctual reaction I had because I bumped into her so hard). She let out the loudest SCREAM and I jumped back in fright at what I had just done. Some spectator who was witnessing the whole thing shouted to me, "Go! Go! Go!" so I took off into the transition area. I still don't know who she was or why she was running back into the water.
