I'm so glad even she looks like a dork

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.

Not putting her down - think it is great if she did a tri and raised a bunch of money, but that picture no way is Jennifer Lopez. She is a hispanic isn't she? with nice dark skin? That woman in the picture looks like she comes from Ireland

Ha! I thought the same thing and had to google her to find more pics to verify to myself that it was her. It is. She just had twins, so this was part of her quest to get back in shape. She's not quite there yet, so even if she was trying to avoid the press - I'm sure she doesn't feel like she's 'smokin' right now anyway.


Now- the pics of Matthew McConaughey in the same tri? THAT is smokin'!

I also went and Googled images of her....I couldn't find anything to post on a family-friendly discussion forum!!!
But, I dunno...pale, yes, but the round chin (not sharp and pointed, like in other pix) gives me pause.

I saw a video of her triathlon on TMZ.com. Would you believe she had someone holding the bike up for her so that she could get her feet into the toe clips?

This is the only triathlon I know of that has Celebrity categories!

check out the second to last photo on this page:

From certain angles she does have a rounded chin. And when some stars are photographed on the red carpet, they will stick out their chin to prevent any appearance (real or bad camera angle) of "neck flab."

Here's another few - and one where she's in the same outfit and kissing her husband.

A Self magazine "celebrity blog" online says that her shoes and shirt "disappeared" in the transition area so she borrowed the XXL shirt and someone's spare shoes after the swim. I guess she's lucky she didn't need cleats. http://www.self.com/livingwell/blogs/celebrity/

Read this part:

"I've never biked in my life. With swimming, at least I'd been to the beach. And can we talk about this bike? It's so thin and aerodynamic and designed for speed. When I first got the bike, it had clipless pedals [they attach to the soles of your shoes]. The pedals were so small, it was like trying to balance on stilts. But I'd just gotten the bike and was like, 'Let's get on the road!' We went out and I did eat it! I was trying to give Gunnar [Peterson, Jennifer's trainer] my Blackberry because it was falling out of my pocket. There was a girl in front of me on the bike path and all of a sudden she swerves. It was either I hit her or go into the sand. So I go into the sand."

"This was the first time I was really riding, too. I had been doing all my rides on the stationary trainers. Then I couldn't get back on the bike and in the pedals. I could not get going. I'm thinking, If I fall in the race for whatever reason, I need to be able to get back on my bike by myself. It's my bike! So I said, 'I'm not doing these pedals, give me the toe clips' [metal cages on the pedals that feet slide into]."

I'm not really sure what she's talking about, but it sounds like she just tried using tennis shoes on clipless pedals. No wonder she didn't like them. I mean, I have a friend who can sprint in tennis shoes on Speedplays, but he's got above average skill.

I feel like the S-works Ruby was wasted on her. Must be nice to have boatloads of cash. Oh, she's also sporting the $230 S-works helmet.
