Then, I rounded a high-speed curve and looked up just in time to see a banner hung over the road. Three people stood out in the road and multiple people stood on the side and took photos of me as I passed a guy just before the banner. Just about then -- too late -- it finally dawned on me that I had crashed the bicycle leg of a tag-team triathlon. Some of the news photographers thought I had won. At the very least, I seriously messed up the winner's finishing photo.
