I felt the need to share......my therapist said it's the right thing
to do...;-
)
Ironman AZ fun,fun,fun......blah,blah,blah........and there was no wind! whoever tells you there was wind is a liar.....;-
) My event happen the week after Ironman, at the Desert Tri..........April 17th. I went to the Desert Tri in Palm Desert to pimp Zeal Optics since I am a sponsor of Greg Klein's events. I had no plan on racing. I picked up my bike from my parents house on Sat morning since they had brought it home for me from IMAZ so I could go for a spin on Sunday after the race. Well after several beers on Sat night I talked myself into a least to go through
the movements of the race.....But it was mile 11 that I never thought in my wildest nightmares would happen to me. I'm racing the sprint.......I'm out around mile 11 and it's heating up pretty good. I'm picking off a few of the international guy's and moving up through the female pro's.
I'm going around 23-24mph and starting to make some good time. At that time I lock in behind of one of the best looking female derriere's I have seen in a long time, SO I Pull in behind her to take a quick rest and get some water......when it happen....I'm about 2 bike lengths behind this hottie when I feel the spray of her water bottle hitting my face. It felt so good cooling me off...I was like a dog getting squirted by the hose......So I get a little closer like about 3 feet from her back tire so I can get the much needed spritzer.......Man it felt great!........As I was
going around her...... I looked at her....I was HORRIFIED!!........
I screamed " WHERE IS YOUR WATER BOTTLE??????"....Please TELL me you have a water bottle!!.. she smiled and said she was sorry that she did not realize I was right behind her............oh lord! I was involved in my first golden shower with a tri hottie......eeewwwwwwwww!!!!!! SO I went into damage control....I rinsed myself with carbo pro!!! That was all I had..... I looked and felt like a glazed donut!!! My eyes stuck wide
open....by the time I got into T2, I was stiff as a board......I grabbed my other bottle that just had water in it and rinse with it while on the run.....within a few I was back to normal.... kinda ....if you call being pee'd on NORMAL!!!!!!
Crap!
(no pun intended
) that was an event!!!!!!
Troy went on to finish first in his AG
