I wonder if by mile 20 Oprah was tired of being recognized as Oprah.

I'm sure that, at mile 20, she was just plain tired!!!

Geez, at km 7 of a 8 km run I'm almost embarrassed to be seen by my own husband, with that "I'm gonna die" look on my face and snot running down my shirt!!

I just think it's funny that they consider a triathlon a "grueling endurance event"...
My guess is she'll do a sprint, and I wouldn't call that "grueling" for even the most devoted couch spud..

Now if she does one in L.A. w/ an ocean swim then yeah, that can be tough.
I just think it's funny how the media can hype triathlon as some monumental thing. yeah it's not a stroll in the park, but it's not THAT tough.

A sprint tri is plenty gruelling enough for me!

I was so proud I survived that I bought myself an "Iron Dog" titanium triathlon bracelet and had my time (2 hrs 15 minutes) engraved on it. (I took almost exactly 3 times as long as the elites, but dammit, I was a triathlete too!)

That bracelet stays on all the time. http://www.irondog.us/

Edit to add: I was kind of thinking Jennifer would be doing something more like an Oly or half iron. She was already in good shape before she had the twins.

She was already in good shape before she had the twins.

I'm thinking that woman knows a little something about working hard.
