I wasn't dissing J (her time was not stellar but what the heck) - I was just doing the "superstar + helmet = dorky look" math and telling myself it's not my fault if I look like a dork on pics.

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I still can't believe that's her. Doesn't look a thing like her (although I probably don't look like me with all my gear on).
Good for her for getting out there and doing something fun just like the rest of us. And if I had her bod, I'd definitely NOT be wearing that gigantic outfit. I'm thinking crop tri top with shorty shorts to show off my awesome bod. In my current body- I can totally see wearing something like that.![]()

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
I couldn't care less about hollywood 'stars'....but I don't blame her for wearing a baggy outfit- she doen'st want to be the center of attention during the race....it must be hard enough already with photographers rushing to get her picture.
She's obviously having fun and getting fit at the same time- and setting a good example for lots of other women. Who cares what she wears or about her bike gear? Good for her!![]()

No matter who it is that does a tri earns my respect. Good for her for going out there. If it takes seeing someone like JLo to get others out and exercising so be it. Whatever helps to motivate them is all good. It does make me feel better knowing that she has to work out too to keep her body looking good, though.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Okay....I'm so out of it, I had to Google "Actress Jennifer Lopez" to find out who she is!!!
But....I got this article on that tri - and she did raise a boatload of money for an LA Children's Hospital at that tri...so I guess if she wants to wear a pillowcase while doing a benefit, that's okay by me. (and...never having done a tri...well, that's a cool thing too, right there)
By the way...I don't think she looks dorky at all.
However..this one (and I apologize if this is you...but please get a clue)...now this one is dorky.

I can understand her gear...
She's rich...not a cycling enthusiast. She probably didn't want to go through the trouble of learning how to use clipless pedals. She just wanted to go and be in the charity event. She probably just put some pocket change on the counter and asked them to give her a nice bike that'll be comfy for her charity tri. S-Works Ruby...toe clips...
As for what she's wearing...I totally get that. I have a couple friends that are SMOKIN hot. We're talking 10's...no joke. Now...some women love the attention, love being oogled, and love showing off. However, the couple friends I have HATE that! They hate it when every single head turns to stare at them when then walk in bar. They hate guys staring at them in class, at the grocery store, at work, at the mall, etc. One of them has gone so far as purposely dressing down whenever possible! I'm guessing J-Lo wanted just a tiny bit less attention than she usually gets.
