Jenifer Lopez Competes in the 2008 Nautica Malibu Tri

Lots of "discussions" on this one already.

Malibu always has a celebrity division, has for years.

She finished, she raised a lot of money, but she pizzed off Heidi Klum by bailing out on Project Runway claiming a foot injury.  Then she runs the race with no issues and no brace/support for her foot.

Bad form .......

I likedthe photo of her on her bike. You'd expect someone of her stature to have the best (most expensive) equipment even if she dosent need it. But she used what looks like a $200 bike with cage-pedals. Classic.

I have always considered her to be a cronic partier. but this shows she has quite a bit of self determination and strength of character. I applaud her for a job well done.

Why thank you...flattery will get you everywhere.  

And relative to her T1 time: she ran the race that made her comfortable.  She put on wrist bands and gloves.  But more than that - with 3000 athletes, the chute of bikes was HUGE and she was at the far end.  The run up from the beach was tough, so good on her I say.
