I've got to agree with you on that. It made for impressive TV, though...and certainly highlighted the grace and dignity with which Sarah, "Blazeman", and the 80 yr old guy completed the race. I love triathlon! So, you're going for Arizonza IM next year? Have you done any 1/2IM races? (or as they now call it, IM 70.3, which sounds like a radio station to me!) The half-distance is my goal. I don't think I have the desire in me to go the full IM distance. Then again, I never would have dreamed I'd finish (much less start) a marathon, which I did last month.

It's getting chilly up here in Chicago--enjoy your autumn in AZ!
