@mattc. The real dissonance is now there’s going to be a larger than life bronze statue of a ‘tri-dork’ in someone’s yard in Utah. Since he works from home the tri-suit might even become every day wear.

Won’t the neighbors be impressed. (?)

Wow…Fatty did GREAT…put time on the Hammer in the swim (wasn’t expecting THAT), then had a sensational ride…and looking at the run times the Hammer just couldn’t gain it all back…it would appear all our premonitions over the agony of ‘de-feet’ didn’t happen…Fatty did a pretty great run! And thus my prediction of the Hammer overall by 3 minutes was WAY off!

Great day for you both…I guess Fatty likes being the underdog. I shall remember that and not do it again. I am humbled by you both (however, I need to toss this out there: does Hammer’s bike have those awesome Dura Ace C50 wheels? And does she have an aero-helmet? I think there is some equipment disparity here that MUST be addressed).

I’ll bet on any horse as long as it’s fast! :)

Amazing race by both of them!! Fatty goes sub 5:30 and The Hammer gets 4th in age group! Pretty dang good for a couple of try-geek rookies!!! Obviously not new to the endurance racing thing :)

But Fatty refuses to let his feet get the best of him and looks like he’ll finish strong!

Go FATTY!!!

After the bike leg The Hammer is 5th in her age group! That is AMAZING for a non-triathlete!! (especially so considering her strongest sport is running)

Go Hammer!

Fatty said originally he could put a half-hour into The Hammer over the swim and run legs and still lose at the line. Since he only managed to put about 23 minutes into her, I’m thinking The Hammer is gonna take the overall win.

Go Hammer!
