I kinda freaked out for a moment: The Wassner Sisters asked who I write for (basically asking why I was at the dinner), and I said I have a local "tri blog." They asked what it was called. I smiled and said "Steve in a Speedo."
THEY. HAD. BOTH. HEARD. OF. ME.
Shut the front door. They remembered tweeting with me over the past year! They know how to make a guy feel loved! :)
Anyway, my tri-buddy Nick and I were around while Paul was taking the photos, so Paul asked for our help. Nick first jumped in to hold a bike. Here he is "daintily" holding it up by the seat so that he could easily be Photoshopped out later:

Getting her own photos of the shoot!

Well, fast forward to last week.... Triathlete Magazine tweeted this:
Find out what some of the fastest female triathletes will be riding at this weekend’s @ltftriathlon in Minneapolis: http://ow.ly/5zYSS
When you clicked on that link, it took you here - to a photo gallery of "bike porn" that was about to be on display at the Life Time Fitness Minneapolis Triathlon:
If you look at the second column from the right in that image above, you can see a photo of a bike in the second row, and a photo of 2 bikes in the third row.
BUT WAIT!
YOU CAN SEE HANDS!
NICK AND I WERE NOT PHOTOSHOPPED OUT!
WE "TECHNICALLY" BOTH JUST MADE AN APPEARANCE ON TRIATHLETE MAGAZINE'S WEBSITE!!
