Teri Hatcher Tris

I have never seen any of the ladies wearing something like that at of my races. But I welcome it!

Teri competed (along with me, my wife and 325 other people) on the Disney Studios tri team yesterday.  For her safety (since she's a paparazzi magnet, obviously), she had an assigned lifeguard on the swim, a cyclist who rode along with her, and the team coordinator (who's a multiple IM finisher, fwiw) ran the run course with her.

My wave was 25 minutes after hers...I passed her and the coordinator (and a couple other Disney team members) as they were heading in from the run turnaround (4 mile run course) and I was on my way out.  Thought it might be a nice motivator for the run to catch them by the finish...just missed...crossed about a minute after them (I went 1:42, she did about 2:05).

Interesting after having J-Lo out there last year (Teri crushed her time, btw, with relatively little training...some of it biking to the set of Desperate Housewives a couple days a week), how much more of a crush of journalists and photographers there were around Teri.  In part, I guess, it was because she was a bit more visible, taking part in Disney parts of the event...like the presentation of the $250,000 check from Disney to the event charity (Childrens Hospital LA)...Teri fundraised about $17,500 herself, I believe.

Some people find the celebrities a nuisance out there, but I think it's fun and they set a good example for the couch-potato public, IMO.  Third year my wife and I have done the race and I've never had celebs distract from my racing.

A couple side notes...

--David Hasselhoff showed up to play "official starter"...didn't stick around to start all the waves...

--Several pros raced the Sunday sprint for no prize money.  Macca showed up for a second year (signed my wife's bib number and chatted with us a bit at the end of the day)...and this time some pros who raced in the Saturday Oly (where the money was) came back on Sunday:  Greg and Laura Bennett, Chris Lieto, Becky Lavelle (did a relay team swim).  Great vibe out there this year.

God bless her. 

I read the title, opened the thread but didn't care enough to click the link. Now I do.

Teri didn't race in that getup, btw...I'd have been running a lot faster to catch her if she had.

What she actually wore on the course (more or less):

Wow

I hope she is setting up next to me this weekend in Vidalia.  No need for Redbull if she is.

There is now way she was racing in those bottoms.

God bless her! x 2

i love teri hatcher

x2, glad I went back and clicked on it.

I bet she thought people were staring at her cause she is a celebrity.

Umm...no.  Sorry to disappoint you.

Redefining Pace Booty. Whoa!

Since you seem to be buddy-buddy with the 'Wives, can you get Eva to race next year? 

Brian

I can't comment on "They're real" but the rest is nice!

Kevin

Miss, can I help you with that?

Was this what she was wearing?

Is one pant leg shorter than the other the new in-thing now??

LOL...hardly.

(Actually did use to work with Teri years ago on Lois & Clark, but she doesn't know me from Adam these days...one of the "little people" on the set...you only have a name for as long as you're the person making sure that things like breakfast showing up at the makeup trailer happen or whatever.)

There ya go.

She makes it look a whole lot better than I do.
