By the swim section, I was crying (or were my eyes bleeding?). I had to DNF the video.

Thats just embarassing and pretty much insulting to us.  Makes you wonder if there is gonna be another biggest loser ploy and have one of them picked up and dropped off at the finish line.  One of them is probably ready, the other, Im not to sure of.

I almost made it to the end but had to DNF.  Outside of noticing that the blonde was cold before the swim, it has NO usefulness at all.

And the Aero helmet had a race number on it.  Let alone that the 'coach's helmet was unbuckled. 

WOW...Just WOW...

Seriously why is it so freakin big!  I also think its funny that they are riding up and down maybe 6 blocks on the boardwalk  How many people do you think will now do tri's because of this and sign up for a race since they see the Today show people doing it.

Hopefully lots of people then there might actually be people who finish behind me!

Hmm, I suppose that didn't actually require sarcasm....

Fun?  This is Triathlon.  There is no room for fun.

It is a TV show produced for people who count climbing two flights of stairs a PR.

x2 (does it make me a tri-snob to say that?). I'm all for triathlons being accessible to anyone who wants to train for one--but even in the discussion afterwards, they only talked about how much they goof off...

It was silly.  But the silliest thing to me was the coach flirting with Hoda.   Why would he flirt with her when Natalie is there?  Hoda is fine and all, but Natalie is one cute chick.  Very strange.

I'm all for having fun while training.  I hope that if they are actually doing a real race, they will actually train off camera.  Especially the swim - yikes!

I watched it on the show today.

It was stupid segment. Hoda isn't taking it seriously at all..just a big joke to her. She doesn't like to get her hair to be exposed to nature.

Hoda has swam twice...this time in the ocean mostly riding on the back of her coach doing butterfly and once in Natalie's pool. She doesn't want to use a noodle in the race but be towed by her coach...yah that is triathlon like.

I think they over trained on the the bike.  I think they rode at least half a mile, and way too fast to be safe.
