Here are some official photos from the St. Croix Sprint Triathlon that I did a few days ago. For the most part, I look pretty good (at least parts of me), which is rare for me during an event. I usually look angry, drunk, flabby, or constipated. This is relatively unparalleled.
Exiting the water (my arms look good)
Looks like I’m trying not to pee
Not me, but possibly the
worst event photo ever
Fighting the sun, not looking pretty...
...but at least I don’t look as bad as this guy.
Is he pooping while having a seizure?
Finishing the 4 mile run in 25:08
Biceps and man-boobs working hard
I’ve been hitting the weights with extra vigor over the past 9 months, and it’s starting to show. And recently, Phamie’s been talking about how much she likes my tummy. Sweet!
When I got home after the tri, I had a quality meal of Sixlets and Burritos:
Remember, only
5 days until the Half IM where I will run dressed as the Grim Reaper! And good luck to those of you doing IM WI on that same day!!
Good Luck @ your Half Iron on Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Best of luck with the Half ...
ReplyDeleteYou look great, though I have to admit I think it'll be even cooler to see you dressed as the grim reaper and still racing!
ReplyDeleteDo you have reflectors on your bike?
ReplyDeleteI think the 3rd photo of that other guy in a wetsuit looks like an alien.
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend! Your blog is hysterical! I've been following it for a while.
No, this is the worst event photo ever. The only reason I know it even exists is because my tri club did this race and we all had a good chuckle over it.

Great photos! Have fun at the half! I hope there will be someone out there taking photos of the Grim Reaper!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the grim reaper pics. I forgot about Sixlets, I used to love those!
ReplyDeleteSixlets?!?!?!? I use to love those things! Good luck.
ReplyDeletesixlets and burritos...dude. so much for your tummy! ;)
ReplyDeletewhat was wrong with that guy's swimcap in the water? that is so funny!!!! youre gonna kick ass at the half. cant wait!
ReplyDeleteOooh... sixlets. The orange ones taste the best.
ReplyDeleteIs that the travelocity gnome coming out of the water?
ReplyDeleteThat dude on the bike looks like he is trying to hold back a big one
best wishes on the 1/2 IM! Bring on the reaper!
ReplyDeleteI think you look good! ;D
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! That worst photo ever is classic. Is it proof that aliens exist?
ReplyDeleteIt kinda looks like what I was seeing out of my snot covered glasses on the run this past weekend.
Those Grim Reaper pics might top the pics from the race...but it will definitely be tough. Those are some great shots!
ReplyDeleteEven the guy having a seizure looks better than me in most of my action shots
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that's you?!
ReplyDelete25 min 4 mile run? WOW!
BTW, quit calling me MOM!!! I know I'm old but.....
Great photos!! Can't wait to see what the 1/2 IM brings :)
ReplyDeletePhew i thought you were looking a bit gaunt when i saw you.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than the last pic of you exiting the water. That was a bad one. Hmmmm, David Hasselhoff is that you?
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Yuck to the burritos though. I don't know how you contain that mess on a run. Have fun this weekend!
ReplyDeletemmm.... sixlets... I haven't had those since elementary school!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, especially compared to those other two less than stellar boys! :) Can't wait to see the reaper in action.
I always take the WORST photos during triathlons! Great race! Good luck in your 1/2, that will be awesome, and that food, I'm sorry but all I can think is stomach ache!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your 1/2 Sunday...I'll be thinking about ya out there running in that Grim Reaper outfit. Stay hydrated!
ReplyDeleteKnowing you are going to post pics of that outfit, it will make me race faster in IM WI just to get back home to check them out on your blog.
Go rock the 1/2!
p.s. just in case you get hot and have to peel off the death suit, shouldn't you have a back up 'outfit' underneath. I say a sports bra and tight shorts, with the thick scrunched up aerobic socks and the high top Reeboks with velco. Shoot - get some leg warmers like Jane Fonda.
Have FUN!
good luck at the im! can't wait to see the pictures from that one, haha.
ReplyDeleteYour arms do look good!!! Good work with the weights. You are proof that you can lift and be fast.
ReplyDeleteHave fun this weekend!
wow you eat the weirdest combinations of food.
ReplyDeleteMan you have blossomed haven't you!? Must that radioactive diet of yours! Oh and probably all the butt whomping you're doing lately, way to go!! I can't wait to see you in the reaper costume, that's going to be one for the books! Have a blast out there!
ReplyDeleteI think some random chick is checking you out in the last two. Pharmie might have to trunk a b*tch!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend!
Nice run split-- Good to see you out there!
ReplyDeleteHave fun this weekend at Square Lake. I'm hoping for cool weather for you. Your outfit could get nasty in the heat.
And where has YOUR blog been all my life?! Hilarious! Please please tell me you really peed in the lake. Can't wait to see the grim reaper pics!
ReplyDeleteThat 'worst photo ever' is obviously a cross of Sasquatch & Loch Ness monster photos.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the half IM! I would comment on your physique, but I'm just not that comfortable giving other guys compliments. I'm sure you'll understand.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your sprint and best of luck at the half. That third picture looks like an alien!
ReplyDeleteHey...very nice blog(s) you have! I wish my pics were half as good as yours. So didja really peein your wetsuit?? Ican't stplaughing at that....LOL
ReplyDeleteARG!! My kids have been eating chips at my laptop again!!! There's crumbs under the space bar!!!!!!! Sorry 'bout that!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! i love it when pictures show off our hard work!
ReplyDeleteNice pics! And thanks for visiting my blog - much appreciated. All I can say is you look like a triathlete, and that takes a lot of work. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat race pics! I'd say something about your plastic wrapped burritos and sixlets but I'd leave myself open to return comments about my microwave mac n'cheese and lemonheads - so to each his (or her) own recovery meal, eh?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the Grim Reaper photos!
You are kidding about the Grim Reaper... right?!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the photos!
sixlets? Eeek! I havn't seen those in forever!
ReplyDeletehow are they sixlets in a box? where im from sixlets came in tubes of six. I'm jealous
Good luck on your Half IM. I would love to be able to do one someday.
ReplyDeleteMy race pics always turn out like the guy who looks like he is pooping...for some reason running and photos just don't mix well for me.
You're going to scare some people into a PR out there!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my blog! won't make any promises on the stir-crazy part, but so far so good. :) great race pics, mine usually turn out horribly too. cheers!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Knock 'em dead!!
ReplyDelete(Has anyone made that joke yet? I didn't feel like reading though all the comments...)
Ahhahaha...love the pics! Still laughing about the poor soul in the seizure pic!
ReplyDeleteNice recovery food.
Can't wait to see the Grim Reaper pics! I really need to think about if I can get my hungover butt up to run the Skeleton run here in October!
I stumbled upon this blog by googling 'moose knuckle' for co-workers of mine. Very cool man - I have started to get into races, and would love to do triathlon!
ReplyDeleteGreat guns and MB's Steve...but wheres the suspenders?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the pictures!
ReplyDeleteKnock them dead! HA!!
You look good in red. RED hair would have worked too Steve. :(
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. And the funny ones you found are hilarious!
ReplyDeletePictures are GREAT! But, the reason I just HAD to write in, is because I LOVE, LOVE sixlets and the only place I can find them here at home is in the old country store that has the pails and pails of buckets of different candy, you can pile together. We went there about 2 wks ago and I specifically went there looking for sixlets. No joy. They were OUT! They suck.
