Race day I had an army of over 40 guys ready to help out. There was a changing tent. Triathlon kit hadn't been figured out, so you had a mismatch of just about everything (as you probably remember). As each woman got out of the water, we had enough guys to have personal ******* right to their bike so they wouldn't "get lost". Manyof them just asked their escort to hold a towel up for them, and did what, apparently, triathletes are still doing to this day.
I coulda charged most of these guys to volunteer. Many told me it was the greatest day of their life.

Step right up, folks, and join the Box o' Crap gang! Your foreign language skills will improve immensely, titillating stories are here for the reading, hilarious stories involving clipless pedals are told.
Like a baseball announcer filling air space in between batters, we eagerly await a report of the thud on the doorstep, where matters of greater import, barely beyond borked bike parts are pictured, and cat toys are always appreciated.

Loving these stories!
In the meantime, tracking information tells me there was a thud on someone's porch today.

Con pedales plataformas, el problem que puede ser presentado es que los pedales giran demasiado rapido y los pies no pueden mantener contacto. Por eso, algunas personals utilizan clips para quedar el pie en contacto con el pedal.

More-or-less. Someone mentioned learning new languages, so I thought I'd pitch in.

Maybe it's all the hearts that my daughter drew all over the box that slowed down the unveiling...

Hi gang,
I'm a relative newbie here and don't have enough posts to join the party, but certainly enjoy the "crappy"
dialog.
By-the-way, on the clip vs clipless issues: Over the years, I've fallen over with both setups. Once dumped a Santana tandem with the wife on the back. ..and we're still married!
Cheers,
Van
