There are a few of them where you can see riders in the background who were still actually trying. (I cheered them on as they rode by me.)

My wetsuit pic...now that one was special. I've named it, "How many chins can one girl have, anyway?" I think I may frame it and send it to my mom.

By all means... I don't mind sharing, and TE isn't exactly known for staying on topic in every thread.

When the weather is right, it really is a pretty ride (except maybe the express lanes bit... I think that's boring). The run isn't bad either (except maybe the hill... I hate that hill... ).

I also like that the swim is pretty well protected. Not a lot of current, easy (relatively) to swim in a straight line (that or I'm getting better at swimming a line, but it was much less stressful than the drifting in my IM swim).
