Looks like there were 14 finishers within a minute of the winner with the top three given the same time. Also there is a picture of #2 Hug stumbling with another falling on the ITU web site, must have been at the end but there is not caption. Pretty good picture.
shows you the value of a blazing T1+T2…
I missed the podium in a race today, because I gave up 50 seconds to third place in T1.
I know better than to wear socks, but for some reason I wanted to put them on today.
Doh!
You gave away 50 seconds in T1…Did you stop and light up a cuban cigar too, while you were putting on the socks. Yoda…totally unacceptable. This could be the diffference between a Kona slot in 2006 and staying at home !
Ya, Yoda. Gain 30 Ibs and don’t wear socks next year at LP. 
If Yoda gains 30 lbs, paints himself green and turns sideways in the wind, he’d still dissappear. The man seriously lacks any form of cosmetic bulk. He is functionally built as a prototype triathlete.
Now that we have completely hijacked this thread, I always thought of myself as a prototype of an ambassador of goodwill.
