xatefrogg - 2011-09-16 12:00 PM My 3rd Tri. I only had a bike jersey and didn't want to use it in the swim so i had to put it on in T1.

This should be the picture shown in all the threads where people ask if they should wear their tri top under their wetsuit or not.

I had to bring this thread back to post one of my latest pics. I look like I just smelled something awful!

I can't believe I missed this one! I don't know what it is, but I just laughed so hard that my cats ran into the office to see what was going on. Your expression is pretty much how I feel the entire time during the swim portion of tris.

I thought this one was pretty funny, looks like I've had a bad day or something!  I was just walking and they must have caught me mid-stride as I put my head down.

1st tri St. Anthony's...I'm gonna hurt somebody if theres no pizza at the finish, I can't afford to lose my manly figure. Yes the backwards camo hat was used to keep the fat..err...sweat from melting my face.  Sad part is, I looked exactly the same the following year(although I shaved 30 minutes off my time, lol.

 

Whenever I try to attach a pic here its always in the form of an attachemnt, how do i attach one to the main body so you don't have to click on it to view it??

and of course if the backwards bike helmet over the cap worked for him on the bike, he might as well keep it going on the run.....

Those are priceless pictures thanks for sharing. I think they were both wanting save time in the trasitions. I have tinted goggels, I'm goon awear them on my next bike ride. Kinda makes you  look and feel like the Red Baron.

I have worked numerous tri's and I've seen alot of adults wearing their helmets backwards as well.

You got to be proud of the boys out doing, thats awsome.

Nice, not only is the helmet on backwards, the swim cap is still on.

He is too cute!!

This pic isn't embarrassing but it is a classic shot of my son's first tri (maybe I should start a new thread: Watching our Kids Tri):

Trying to post the pics after protracted computer struggles.....if I succeed, should be "are we there yet?" pic and finish line pic. No luck yet--sorry!

Got another one, an independent photographer found me on Facebook to give me this pic. This was at IM Lou, which was my first time ever riding hills. So I think I have this funny look on my face( lip biting and eyebrow raise) because I saw another hill coming, the day was full of surprises for me, all of which were on the bike course.

It's only water in the cup, but I look like I'm on my 5th or 6th round of something much stronger.

No matter what, I can not get a good finish line photo. In my last race, I was very happy at the finish and even had the presence of mind to hold my pose at the end once I flashed through the tape and was sure I'd get a great picture. 

Here is what they printed out to sell me at the awards banquet:

Was this from this year's See Me Tri?  I was a volunteer and thought all the athletes were amazing!  You all are the reason I want to try that tri next year.
