    She might continue riding her bike in between taking care of her newborn twins.
    Who are we to judge whether she 'deserves' her bike or not?
    Heck I'd say she deserves any bike at all if she raised $127,000 for a children's hospital.

    I'm just saying, why do you need a $6300 road bike to do a triathlon in tennis shoes? There are plenty of people out there doing tris on all kinds of equipment, and if that makes them happy and healthy and gives them motivation to train for good causes or whatever, then good for them. I am just kind of irked that she's riding a lot of people's dream bike and she probably could've done just as well on a Dolce. It seems more like a publicity stunt than like she cares about the sport.

    erm. she paid dearly for being unprepared. 2:26 for a supersprint?!
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    I'm not a J-Lo fan, but I applaud her doing the tri.

    Who cares what she rode, wore, her time, etc? She seemed to want to do it for the right reasons (raising money).

    And this 6 months after giving birth to twins. I admire her energy and positive attitude.
