Pretty safe to say thee best ever triathlete to ride a moto was David Bailey. He was early days triathlon only to crash and get hurt in 1987 while racing professional for a factory motocross team. Being pit boy for my wife in 2000 I watched as he battled with some other animal I believe from Brazil named Carlos Moleda ? I recall seeing them exit the swim together. Off to their bikes. Only these two guys were hand cycles. As if Kona ain't tough enough. Then they cover the marathon in similar fashion. . David Bailey is one of the nicest most humblest human beings I have ever met. Honored to have him as a friend. He still announces for motorsports and....................word is he is signing up for an Ironman in 2015 to hopefully qualify and return to Hawaii. Hell WTC or whoever the f owns Mdot would be lucky to have a man with such character as he on those lava fields again. I hope he makes it and I hope Ironman see's the worth and beauty in it.
