For sure I thought it would have been Eney, but maybe it was Lil Hallick?? Now I'm just going off of "Triathlon" magazines, not "Triathlete". Lil was a looker from Florida that was a top pro for a couple years, then disappeared. Pretty sure she made a cover. And as for Eney, think she actually made two covers, so maybe one or the other??

At least being on the cover you didn't have to turn pages with one hand... (-;

This?

Lol

My mother sewed me a speedo same color like that had similar sun glasses and hair about the same length.

Have no idea if I have any pics from back then.

I used to set up the Bud Light USTS in Chicago when I was like 10 or 11. There were 12 of us kids that got to stay up overnight and sleep in a tent on Oak Street beach. We even created our own triathlon at a summer house in Lake Geneva. Those were the days

Yes, that one. Thanks for that. She was really sweet and so interesting...

Post race tents with rows of kegs
Transition tents where everyone just stripped down and got dressed not caring who was around
Paulo saldanha with arm fins on the bike
The elation when computrainer came out and those of us with -20 winters could keep up with riding for the 6 months we were buried in snow
Transition areas were not crowded, you could rack your bike and have 2 metres to set out your gear, foot bath to get sand off your feet etc etc...

... the story of how Zoot got it's name.

... or were able to talk to Mark Allen in the transition area after the Chicago Tri.

... or the PowerMan Duathlon series was actually well attended.

... or Leon's Tri was on Cline Ave before the casinos shut it down. (4-line highway with very tall bridges)

Anyone rememberer the night before carving load dinners?

You've been around the sport a long time when you remember....

• Getting tired of the word legends 20 years ago.
• The races got better and better organized, and people keep talking about the good old days.
• Saying to yourself, "I hope triathletes will stop thinking they are special compare to other endurance sports".
• ITU racing start getting better when they start with draft legal racing.

I believe you are remembering Rob Roller, he was the first to use the double mirror contraption to see forward with his head down super low. Chris may have used it later, but I dont remember him doing so..How many of you remember Rob Roller???

This is hilarious - I only knew her as a substitute masters' coach back in Boulder. I had no idea who she was until I hopped onto the last page of this thread and noticed her unusual name and checked if it was the same woman. Yep.

Wow.

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Tinley flying into Canton, Ohio for a local race (1987?) riding what looked like a 1980 USA Cycling team bike with the front wheel smaller than the rear. He actually finished the race, left for the airport with the bike still at the race site. A mystery on what happened then.

qqqq - nice work fitting in the era appropriate Clash quote but it was Paul Simonon who wrote and sang Guns of Brixton and not Joe Strummer (RIP).

I remember, as a teenager, watching a speech by mark Allen. During the speech, he talked about his defeats to Dave and the things he tweaked in order to start beating him. One of the things was giving up chocolate chip cookies, which he loved. He had heard that Dave was so fanatical about his diet that he rinsed his cottage cheese, and he said "how can I continue to eat cookies and expect to beat a guy that rinses his cottage cheese!"

I also remember him talking about feeling so disheartened that he trained so much and couldn't best him. He mentioned doing the equivalent of something like a hundred something IMs over the course of the year, and couldn't fathom doing more. But he focused on specific training, and when he started winning he compared his training and he was doing more or less the same hours.

Long Chile was a silly place.

Am I the only one who remembers "Fast-Trans"

those shoe-horny things to help you get in to your shies super fast?

I'd still bet ST has one in his garage.



CHANGING IN TO CYCLING GEAR IN T1 AND CHANGING IN TO RUNNING GEAR T2?

the seat belt used by Mark Allen was called a SeatLeash and it was by Steve Hed

Has anyone mentioned AeroLite pedals?

Thats awesome, I have lost track of those two Twinkies..Just looked up the results, but could only find last years where they ran a 1;40, so that was a nice drop at their ages. Not sure how old they are now, but have to be mid to late 50's?? I guess this tying thing is going to be with them forever, anyone know their whereabouts and status???

Yes, they just won Montreal 1/2 as well in the 55-60 age group. My friend did Kona one of the years that Sylvia won. That's when I feel for the sport.

If they were holding hands, can we please get them DQ'ed! :)

I have Aerolite pedals on one of my bikes.

I also have m2racer pedals on another bike.
