Celebs that do tri?

Just thinking about this after thread yesterday on Dave Mirra....

Today I heard former D-Backs outfielder Eric Byrnes on the radio and he mentioned that he had done a 70.3 the day before. I knew he was a runner, because I've seen him at some local events, notably the Pat Tillman 4.2. He is a super cool guy too. I remember being impressed because he's about 6'2" and 200lbs and ran 27 minutes. I found him on Athlinks and he's done sub 5h 70.3 and a 10:45 full.

Not sure what became of Hines Ward but he did some too. I remember him advertising for chocolate milk.

Way way too often, I'm sure. Note I specifically didn't use 'Rudy' to ID him. :-)

Yep - I read an interesting article a couple of months back about his preferred carb-loading strategy for races.

Chris Pratt did a 70.3 as a fundraiser for US Vets, I think he raced as a team with some. No racer/soldier left behind.

Julie Bowen has also dabbled in Tri but I think she's more of a runner

I used to bartend with her before she was famous. Lost touch years ago, but I am always super happy when I see how her career has blown up because she was an amazing person.

So Matthew Broussard hosts a show on mtv - not necessarily the news - he is a brilliant guy, extremely good looking and will be famous one day. I suppose he is almost famous now. He was a really good amateur, could have been a pro if he trained for it.

Yep, during that year before he did Kona I would see Hines around Atlanta training.

Not only does Jenson have one of the hottest girlfriends on the planet, he is probably the fastest Celeb out of all of them.

adding a gf shot for good measure.
