Didn't want to be passed by a girl I guess....

LOL Salsa!! That's telling them!!!
My favorite happened last year at a sprint tri in Tucson. I was grinding up a 2 mile climb (mine road) and I finally decided that I didn't need to be tucked in behind this guy as he was going too slow, So I passed him. He didn't like that and got me on the down hill. But I also passed a young stud on a mtn bike. I think his calf had a 24 on it (as in 24 yrs old). Of course he was on a mtn bike, and me on a road rig.. so it made sense that I passed him. But I found out on the run that he apparently did not appreciate it. He caught me on the run and said "hey, thanks for motivating me on the bike there".. I realized that I had passed him and laughed to myself thinking "yeah, must stink to get smoked by a fat chick!!"
And then I realized that he was the one that did a Beloki style slide into T2 right after I racked my bike. It was quite spectacular, and I realized that he was trying to beat me into T2 and just missed by a few seconds.. heh heh heh

What's a "Beloki style slide"? Whatever it is, I wish I could see the video!

Yeah, I don't get people who hog the lane. If they're unaware of it, they'll apologetically move right over when you ask to pass. But if they're doing it intentionally...why? Life = pass & be passed! So it goes! Love the tandem going downhill story. Yeah, boys, it's a little thing called gravity.

You know, I've been looking forward to taking my bike to the lake, but now y'all are giving me second thoughts! LOL

Perhaps he *did* appreciate it. Fat or thin, I'm going to be motivated by somebody passing me. He even thanked you (now, would he have reacted "heh heh heh " if *you'd* fallen trying to beat him, that's the acid test...)
