They didn't necessarily need your USAT card because in Cozumel we didn't have to show that ID. We had to just show them any ID, which was photocopied. As for the volunteers not checking very carefully, most were young, perhaps high school or early university-aged. Given that they were seeing IDs from many different countries and many different states, they would not have known what was fake or not.

Hi Aimee
I know we haven't spoken since before the race and I have heard you are upset. And at this point rightfully so. I wish you had just contacted me to talk
but since you have gone this route I guess I should remind you of the conversation we had at Terrys post race breakfast where we discussed Cozumel and the fact that you were not going and I was and I asked your permission to pick up your race packet and you were nice enough to say yes and I want to thank you for your generosity.
I do owe you an apology for your name showing up in the results. That was not supposed to happen. As you can see (or could before the results were pulled ) I did not cross any of the timing mats, I did not do the swim but I did do a couple loops of the bike. I certainly did not do the three loops of the run. I might have run 4-5 miles on the run and saw a couple of our friends from home and ran along with them and chatted for a few minutes. Kerry can certainly tell you that she talked with me. I did not pace Kerry and I did not pace anyone else. I was not wearing the timing chip but I had it in my back pocket and crossed the finish line to turn it in so you would not get a charge for losing it. I did not think it would register and for that I apologize. If you want to talk I would be happy to hear from you.
Now for all the curious peeps out there I just want to say that when I go along to these races I like to get out and ride a little. Not necesssarily 112 miles. But it is very boring waiting around for your freinds to finish their race and so I will take my bike out. And yes I know that is against the rules. I always wait until the last AG's have finished their swim and are on the bike before I start so I don't get in anyones way. I like to get out and take pictures along the course and actually have a nice video clip of a group of 5 or 6 who looked like they may have been drafting. And it was very hard to draft in Cozumel, the wind was not on the nose enough.
This is the first time I have used someones number (which I only used to keep the officials from harrasing me on the bike) and you can be sure after this much fuss I will not be doing this again.

Sounds like some CYA coated in BS to me! I had NOTHING to do with this!!!![/quote]

Just thought I'd post the OP's statement in case some of you guys missed it.
