Wonder if he will get tested :ph34r:

I would hope they would

 

Imagine LAnce was allowed to compete

Would be an interesting dual between him and vino and would seriously increase IM Hawaii live viewership / tv ratings

They look SO dumb

Pity aerodynamics couldn’t give a toss about aesthetics. Just look at a modern F1 car, yuck.

Shame, something I saw this morning. I only know of these people through instagram but its a tough story. Mother  daughter pair, daughter raced Kona 2 years ago, mother qualified this year. It seemed as if they did absolutely everything together, including plans to go to Kona together last week. Daughter passed away about a month ago but mom still managed to race. In her daughters tri-suit! Grief. What a heavy heavy race it must have been for her. I searched for moms account and saw she finished, which is just the best.

A bigger no no for me was some of the aerodynamic sperm helmets,

Daughter was Gabriella Gioia, young and very good triathlete (potential pro).  Podiumed 3rd at Kona and was often winner of her AG.  Has been quite a bit on Social media in the run up, including the funeral which was only a couple of weeks ago.  From what can gather she died in a car accident.  Is such a shame as she always had a huge smile on her face when racing.

 

Must have been a tough but rewarding race.

 

Was a nice write-up in SBR Magazine FB page on 11 October 2019 https://www.facebook.com/SBRmag/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARDysH_2OHNLYfyy19tD1aiNxKRxNH5FKam3qnZeMHxCzAbuWX2It4mk5lkWRrOudFdU1ylYJ9v0zNnx&hc_ref=ARRDJsx6aik6c1DF23oUV3I8rMRF_u3e4WLslxzHX7-g86oVsKqVEUExrAh1LQsx8tA&__xts__[0]=68.ARBvB647P4_YfaOCE_i45b33czjlRl9J3GQgFOmAEypwcwMUgqYiUPvqD0zcg7wPqaM9npFLkFCVvoGLxczf9VkX9Y5tn9wCBdszlgmw023s_1CjrS3qOuwUN0k2Nf43FQ8ODgB2QEZpfwtAu-gCqJBhUHh8OZ1idkxC8VYbo4dx2FdsAgZyBlSmX8eiGBNIPtLu9x6DJY-Fjk11Ju9MUFv0pc7ssk1ASn2TUS4OkmWidjPlpi1lvuvTSodzn9te7cwYESudGz8fwFXNQIViYUd8t0eAV5TPvqtm2v2bBJ7OqBukivbQAfoI4S9LtQFN7e0R87ssWIFvYBSrxsthFg

Only saw this post now. I used to teach her in high school. Couldn't believe it when I saw she died. What a loss.
