phoenixazul - 2007-12-20 2:11 PM This thread makes me smile , you're all a buncha studs. Right after finishing my first HIM and after the swim of the PGH tri...for whatever reason, I was giggling my butt off.
Hehehee. I am always in a state of confusion after I get out of the swim. Maybe I should try giggling too. LOL
You know, I love both my IM finishing pics and have posted them before, but I alway thought this one really was neat and fun. It wasn't even staged, I was finishing the Lake Havasu triathlon and the photographer was aiming right at me, I didn't even see her. I was just really pumped to have a great race and it shows.
Now here is a video still of me falling off of that backwards. The terror you see in my eyes in the real deal!!! This is about 4 seconds into the fall and they taped my video camera to my hands pointing at me to record it!
Since I don't have any tri shots yet, I'll go with a couple others.
My Wife and I on her first MS150 ride. This was about 70 miles into the first day and the remnants of Hurricane Ivan came roaring through in 2004. Her longest ride prior to this had been 15 miles.
The next day, rocking a wheelie on the cross bike.
Here is a fun one with 2 of my 5 kids before my first HIM. Strange as it was I wasn't nervous....another classic me picture before swim start at St. A's and after the race out of the medical tent with my good friend Sue.
