Even better than Le Tour...
Quote | Reply
My boy PowerGyoza just finished his first ever triathlon this morning, taking 26th place overall. Having only learned to swim this year, he stormed out of the water in 117th position and posted the 6th fastest bike split of the day! A solid (~25min/5k) run netted him a top quarter overall placement.

Congrats PG, we're all proud of you!

What... No love? No props?

I hereby demand that props be given! A year ago this cat couldn't dog-paddle 5m to save his own drowning ass! He is now a triathlete (and not a poseur, either).

Show the man a little love...

I say "wowie neato cool" to Power Gyoza.

Anyone who names themselves after one of my favourite appitisers has to be cool, and for him to have made this much progress deserves more props than what I can give.

When I first saw your post I thought you we're being your typical gear junkie self who talks about the Le Tour sem-dry lube from Brandford Bike. Why I didn't think of TdF escapes me. Oh yah, cuz I'm hopelessly more of a gear junkie than you!

Boy was I surprised when I realized this thread was for sending me your props. Thanks buddy! Your cheers along with Gregg's & Grace's really helped me push through when the going was tough.

I'm so ready for some more training now. Next goal: a sprint-tri with a 750m swim. Now how do I do 2x the distance in the same time as my 400m?

Thanks to all you ST'ers out there. All your posts, especially those about swim technique & pose are one of the big reasons why I did so well.

lol - dude, I've never even heard of that lube. I just picked up some ProLink Pro Gold from MEC the other day, so we'll see how that stuff is (I'm ditching the Ice Wax).

You totally deserve mad props for what you've accomplished though. A job well done. As for swimming 750 in the same time as your 400? I know of a guy named Thorpe who can probably help you out if you want to relay...
