One of the many reason I love Triathlon…
From Ian Mikelson’s Kona Race Report

“I put my fuel for the bike in one bottle and as I was putting that bottle on my bike, I dropped it. The top popped off and out spilled my fuel. I told myself to just stay calm, find a volunteer, see if I could get a towel to clean it up as it was all under my bike and Matt Reed’s and find some gels. I got a towel and got it cleaned up and Matt was very mellow about the mess I created. The replacement gels however, were a bit harder to come by. Thankfully, one of the awesome volunteers came up HUGE for me. He took my bottle and said “you’ve got a race to prepare for. Go swim, don’t worry about this shit. It will be on your bike when you go out.” I cannot thank this guy enough. He is a HUGE part of my day. Luis is the man!”
