| best
and worst triathlon legs and why? |
Best would have to be the run because it's where I make up the
most places and there's nothing better than when you know you're
flying.
Worst would be the swim without a doubt. I can think of nothing
worse than gasping for air, swallowing mouthfuls of sea water
and feeling like shit for the entire leg. To top it off it only
gets worse as you try running up the beach. |
| most
embarrassing moment in triathlon? |
A
night or two after worlds I went to the toilet in the middle
of the night at the Queenstown caravan park, only to black out
and wake up lying next to the urinal. Wasn't much fun but quite
funny now that I look back on it. I hadn't even been drinking! |
| three
people you would like to invite to dinner |
I
know everyone is going to say this but couldn't leave out Lance!
Others would have to be Maynard James Keenan and Jimmy Page. |
