I'll take a look. And don't get me wrong, I think she's a cutie. She just traditionally hasn't looked like a pro athlete. Looks can be decieving though. She is a hard core racer and can kick my ass by hours in an ironman.

Don't know the exact numbers, but Richie Cunningham looks pretty skinny in person.

6'3" 154 racing // 156-158 otherwise. Everyone always try to steal my inch because I'm so skinny. 6'3"

You take it my friend. 6'2" and rarely under 160 - maybe 158 after monster training. Wow! Compared to you I am rather Schwarznegger-esque! Burly, even!

Uh... she has just about the perfect body. Toned, tan, and a smile to knock your socks off. Not to mention that she can out bike you. :)

Feel bad saying, because she is Canadian, but doesn't Samantha McGlone seem a bit bigger than the average long course competitor?

5'7" 73/ 74kg
quite a chunky monkey

How about Potts? He hugely successfull and big and doesn't seem to care much about shaving legs or being skinny.
Also Javier Gomez is quite "fat" compared to the "ethiope" look of the other ITU boys.

Here are my stats....
Height = 6'-0"
Weight = 125 lb (soaking wet)
Age = 34
The heaviest weight I've ever been was 138 lb, and that was when I was in college. I too have been told to eat more, but unless I sit on my arse all day, don't workout, and eat junk food I can't gain weight. I guess it's a good problem to have, eh?
At mayn pre-race expo's they have a booth set up to measure body fat. I have yet to do one of those test where my readings are valid. I usually get a result of "error" or "< 3%". Low body fat sucks for cold-water swims, but is great for climbing on the bike!
Whether I'd be called a "successful" triathlete is up for debate. ;-)

The "perfect" body would have some boobs. But I digress. Read my subsequent posts where I very clearly admitted she could (and did) destroy me.
Re: "Fattest" and skinniest successful triathletes [Klep]

definatly not the most successful, but at Ironman FLorida 2007, there was a pretty "big" dude who finished in like 9:20 and got a Kona spot....I still remember his gut giggling as he pumped his arms down the chute, dont know how he did it, but I was impressed.

x2 on Samantha McGlone, she does not appear to be a very thin triathlete, but hey she wins!!
Re: "Fattest" and skinniest successful triathletes [wiffcheese]
[ In reply to ]
Agreed, think it very unlikely. At 6'2" it took a life-threatening disease and a week in intensive care to get down to 138lbs, at that weight I was just a bag of bones knocking around together. 'concentration camp skinny' is about the size of it.

She is not big at all. Same height as me and 120 lbs soaking wet, and looks mighty fine in a 1 piece. She just has big back/lats from all the swimming.

It will be interesting to see he Mr. Reed responds to these posts. Actually I wonder if he will ever post here again after the last round. I hope so since I think that he gets more positive press than negative out of this forum. I suspect that he may be more measured next time.

Just saw her stats.
Appears to be just under 5'8" and 118 pounds, which is pretty damn thin actually.
Key to me, and Cam's reply, was that "she does not appear" to be a very thin triathlete in the magazine / web photo's we tend to see, or on TV.
I see that you're post indicates she might "appear" broad because of her swimming background, which makes sense, especially given her actual stats.

Matt Hoover was very successful at being a big fat attention whore and failing at Kona. That should count right?
