I had to share this picture with you all.  While Rocket Man and I were watching the HIM people come in, this lady was next to us SMOKING A CIGARETTE!!  Right at the finish chute.  She would shove it in her mouth like that and clap whenever anybody came through then go back to puffing away.  What a dork.

I still can't believe that she was smoking at the finish line!! The very antithesis of what we are all trying to accomplish!

And she didn't seem to grasp the irony of it at all!!  Usually you can see a bit of remorse on a smoker's face if they are around non-smokers and puffing away.  But this woman seemed totally clueless. I wonder who she was there for?

Well, just goes to show the difference in lifestyle.

However, I'm sure whomever she was cheering on was happy she was there-cigarette and all.

Classic! She's kinda hot

Did anyone see the sign on the camper in the front yard near the finish that read.... " This traler is not for sale"? Maybe it was hers.

That whole area of Buckhill is just trashy....I had this dude riding with me the first part of the course talking about how nice and scenic of a course it was....I looked at him and was like you HAVE to be kidding right? This is the armpit of Florida (no offense to those of you who live there).....scenic is not a word I would use to describe the GFT bike course...the run course is pretty nice, and parts of the bike are OK, but from SR 19 pretty much until the end it just sucks!

Yeah I'm pretty sure that was to remind them to poop out back.

I think it was to help 'em remeber where to line up on the grid.  Or the order they need to proceed in as they take the parade of homes around town.

That's not a cigarette.  That's a burrito.

Two things I saw in Niagara before the marathon/half marathon last weekend:

1 - the night before the race, we're on our way to the pasta party and on the sidewalk in front of the Hard Rock Cafe are a group of well dressed, young hipsters smoking. One perfectly styled young woman lifts her cig to her mouth and her wrist is completely weighed down with yellow and pink wristbands. The irony was apparently lost on her.

2 - Before the start of the half, I smell that familiar odor and turn around to see another runner smoking a cigaretter in the middle of all the people about to start. WTF?

On my last backpacking trip a few weeks ago, we were sitting outside Galehead hut in NH's WHite Mts. when along comes 4 Appalachian Trail thru-hikers. They were about 1,700 miles along on their 2.050 mile hike from Springer Mt. in Georgia to Maine's Mt. Katahdin, when they all pulled out cigarettes and lit up. I guess 5 months on the trail is boring enough that it really makes you look for a new hobby!

This is nothing. My father did a tri once many years ago with me and he sat down at the end of the race with a six pack and a pack of cigs. meanwhile we were all drinking and eating gatorade and powerbars.

I must mention the old bugger came third in his age group also. Bastard.

Jess,

I can't believe you'd make fun of my mother this way, when she came out to cheer me on!

And the rest of you, making fun of our family compound out toward Buckhead..I don't know exactly who #s 1 2 and 3 are, but I reckon you can find out right here.

I used to play water polo, and volunteered at the 84 Olympic Games.  The euros all smoked like chimneys and still kicked our ass   I think it was more of a psych out thing

All that's left for her to do is flick the butt onto the course.

Too funny and oh so true..I actually thought it would be a thread about fat people at the race!!  A few years ago at Epcot I saw a lady riding in her "I'm too fat to walk cart"  With literally a BUCKET of soda in the front basket with one of those big ole turksy legs in her hand munching away ...BLAH
