hmm, that was fun. I'll post some other pics this weekend, and we'll have people guess the event, the year and the athletes shown. I'll go through my pictures and negatives and scan a few more tonite.

Dan will obviously know for sure...but I can't recall Julieanne White being quite fast enough to wear a #3 bib at ITU Worlds (even at the 2nd one ever...although, that could be a #3something bib)...I can't really remember what she looked like for sure...
Sure was fast though:

Fun to tip toe through the past...

Yes, I have Julieanne to thank for me finally meeting slowman in the flesh. I can still picture that day--May 2000, Mexican restaurant in Carlsbad a couple of days before IM Cali. First impression--dude can TALK! And eat chips and salsa!

In the late 70's no standard for races, all different formats, sometimes the swim was last sometimes bike.
Original New York City triathlon held in Coney Island, loved running on the boardwalk.
Northport L.I. tri started with 2 1/2 mile swim....no racks nothing.
Hairnet helmets...

I can't let this thread die. I've had a blast reading through all the posts and seeing images I only thought still existed in my faded memory...
I had a 1990 Nishiki Altron that I raced up until about 1994. After I graduated from college I got too caught up in career and life in general and the bike sat for many years. Unfortunately I sold it at a bike swap meet in Phoenix in the late 90's. Always wished I would have hung onto it and if anyone knows where it is let me know. I'm trying to post pics, but can't seem to get the photo button to do anything...help.
I worked for a bike shop back then and we were a Nishiki dealer. We had a hell of a time getting one of the first bikes as the wheels were a "no-show" from Tri-Spoke and Derby Cycle kept putting us off in getting the bike shipped. I don't think I ever saw one with those original Tri-Spokes on it and do know for a fact that the bike in the pictures in the Nishiki brochure had wooden wheels on it painted in the neon yellow. In the end our rep finally got one sans wheels and we built up a set of Wolbers to get the bike rolling. Aerospoke came through with a set of 650c tubulars a while later and I swapped the original funky Profile 1 aero bar with a bullhorn and clip-on..
Obviously Kenny Souza rode one of these, but I had heard that he actually had a custom ride built (titanium?) and then they painted it up to look like a Nishiki...anyone know "the rest of the story?"

There were three of us who dyed our hair. I will have to dig it up in a few weeks. I am just too busy right now getting ready for our Warehouse sale.

+1. I just about replied to a 3-year-old post about the Coors Light Biathlon Series.
(Because we really need drunk cross-country skiers out there shooting at stuff with rifles).

it's not about being really good at one sport, it's about being just a little better than average in three. oh, and it's about gadgets. buying lots and lots of expensive gadgets.
