Some of it I knew already, but some I didn't.
And who knew beer wasn't the best choice for hydration on the run? dunno

you must be kidding.

I think I've unlocked the secret to faster times. Gotta get rid of the six pack hydration system on long runs.

I knew some of the lore because I bought Dave Scott triathlon training book not long ago. That man is a purist. He eats like twenty apples a day (in addition to a lot of other weird nutritional habits) says gloves get in his way on the bike and goggles bug him when he swims.
I can only imagine what he must think of all these new generation triathletes that have enough gear to fill a transition area by themselves.

crawling the last 10 meters?

nevermind that - but who *PASSES* someone lying on the ground 10ft from the line... not that you didn't see her crawling.

yeesh there'd be no shame in sharing that prize with them.

Nice!

Mark Allen paid a visit and spoke at the local tri shop here in town last year, but I wasn't able to attend. He, Dave Scott and Paula are on a totally different level than anyone else on the planet.
