I had to meet Julie at the beach (because of her MS, she didn't think she could run up the the transition area). I didn't put on my helmet or shoes until I got to my bike.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe have my shoes & helmet on.

Hey, I was checking out who had done the Luray tri last year and saw you in the pics. I've seen you before when I attended Rileyville church. Your standing with Paul Johnson and Daniel Gochenour in one of your pictures. See you this year if you do it again.
