Back in the early '80's all the top triathletes (Allen, Tinley, etc.) were sponsored J. David and Company in La Jolla. Man, I wanted to be on that team so bad. Finally made the "junior" squad (clothes, schwag, no cash) in '84. Got all the good stuff about one month before the Ponzi scheme was exposed. Jail time for all involved, even took the mayor down with it. Riding in La Jolla after that in full J David kit was no picnic. But I had all the "stuff"....
