Right?? And here I was thinking how smart I was being bringing my bucket when no one else was...LOL!! Oh, well...As long as I impressed one person, I'm good. I will see you in a couple of weeks at the JCC. Just look for the dude with the bucket. |

M'FER!!" written in sharpie, pushing your bike by the seat with your right hand, ONE water bottle with some glowing lime green liquid on the downtube, helmet on head, running shoes on feet, bike shoes on pedals, towel around your neck, goggles on your bicep, sneer on your face behind the banana hanging out of your mouth, ignoring anyone who even tries to speak to you, not a sock to be found...trust me, no matter what you read here..... nobody is laughing at the new guy.

Not only have I never participated in a tri with a grassy transition, but I've never SEEN a tri with a grassy transition...Of course, I live in AZ where our "lawn" is all rock. IM Louisville is a very high profile race that has a grassy transition area.............. Your response of "you're missing the point" a few posts ago would actually be very applicable here. |

Extra words to nitpick!Sit on whatever surface is in front of the bike. Not like people who pee on their bikes should ever worry about getting dirty japarker24 - 2012-02-13 3:22 PM JasenGuy - 2012-02-11 12:19 PM BrianRunsPhilly - 2012-02-11 7:59 AM OK I need to ask.

And IM Arizona is a very high profile race that has a concrete transition area......What's your point?
EDIT: Actually, that's incorrect...it's a dirt/dead grass transition. Not sure what is better...still don't know what your point is. Dude, read the bold type. How could I have made it any easier??????? |

How could I have made it any easier??????? He's saying the ones by him do not have grass, not that there aren't any courses in existence without grass. Should I have bolded that part in my last response? |

Ummm, dude?? Read my post...You could have made it easier by actually having a point that had something to do with the bold that you so kindly pointed out. What, you think that I don't know that some transition areas have grass??? Not only did I capitalized "SEEN" for you, but I also clarified that in my area we have very little grass. There's not much more I could have done to make it easier for you, dude... |

Thanks.
