Unless you're the guy on the $3000 bike! In my first tri on my spanky new carbon fiber miracle machine, I hear this terrible grinding noise behind me. I was on the aerobars and couldn't turn around easily. The noise keeps getting closer and closer and finally I hear "Passing on your left."

It's a guy on a 25 year old Sears Free Spirit 10-speed.

Well, forget about saving my legs for the run split. There's no way I can be passed by this wreck. So I hammered the rest of the bike and had a terrible run as a result but at least I beat the Free Spirit!
