Wait you mean you're actually running and not doing the proper job - ie being the guy in the orange jacket taking pics

Haha, yup, I am running. I do spend a fair amount of my summers getting races photos for friends though.

I'm guessing this is IMWI based on your location? I've done Ironman Louisville the last 2 years.

Yes, this was IMWI. I have done it in 09 and 11. Both times I wasn't all that happy with my performance, so I am going to spend a couple more years training and give it another stab later on.

Louisville = HEAT.... well done, I have a hard time in the heat...

Thanks! This year wasn't so bad, relatively speaking. Temperature peaked at around 85-86 degrees. Kinda funny that that "isn't bad" by Louisville standards though. Last year was brutal, was in the mid-90's with high humidity. Surface temp of the road was measured at 122 degrees. Looked like a war zone, people were laying on the sides of the road throughout the bike and run.

I'm doing the same as you, taking 2012 off from Ironman and focusing on short course to work on my speed. Will go back to the Ironman distance again in 2013, probably IMLOU again but haven't totally decided yet.

Bent, if that was a skunk, it would be protection.

the only difference between 'girls of TPF' and 'guys of TPF' is that the girls one have both guy and girls reading it, while the guy one is a sausage fest.

this is me. i apologize for the giant size.

Don't tell the dog that, he's convinced he's a total bad ass. Although it isn't really apparent in this pic, he's totally intimidating Smokey the Bear by barking his head off. I was laughing so hard I could hardly take the shot.

After all... Triathlon is all about proving who is the better exerciser!
