Subject: Funny Video clip of swim start
I'm hoping someone can help.....a few months ago I was on here and someone had posted a really funny video of the start of a tri. It was a simulation of the start and the guy is in the water and his friends are paddling him with boat oars. I think it was a commercial for Powerbar or Gatorade, but when I search those sites nothing comes up. If anyone has it/knows what I am talking about, can you please repost it?

Thanks!!
Abbie

Great, that's exactly what I needed to see a few days before my first mass ow swim start. Nah, that's funny, I see where I've been going wrong during swim training.

Hey my last sprint had a short time where I felt like that.  I think I hit about 3 people at some point in the swim.  So I can understand that clip pretty well.

That is awesome! The funniest part is the very start of his run to the water when the guy on the left breaks that "stick" on his back then blows the horn.
