What and who was the most random thing that blasted past you in a race?

I was passed on the bike leg of the Warwickshire sprint tri last October by an old-ish guy in full on Superman get up. Right down to a little red cape and the underpants-on-outside-of-leggings look!

He says he couldve been whistling enjoying the morning sunshine, except he couldnt get near enough to hear.
In my first triathlon, I was in one of the last waves to go out, and on one of the short but intense hills, here comes a guy on a collapsable commuting bike just FLYING by. The wheels on those things make them amazing climbers, but come any downhill or flat and the guy was stationary to the rest. Had to respect him for racing anyway though. Makes me feel silly about wanting to get a new bike all the time instead of just being out there for the fun of it.

I know I overtook some people [:D]
Meanwhile, a bike marshall was chasing me down as I'd skipped through the cones passed the amublance and continued the ride. Apparantly, I should have stopped for the ambulance and waited till it had gone.......... [image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m7.gif[/image]

Yeah and I was so quick you only had milliseconds to see anything anyway"! These are the kinds of lies I like [:D]
I admire your honesty. I guess someone has to bring up the rear. You could try going flat out at the start, then perhaps you might manage to get ahead of someone, if only for a bit.
I felt like asking her to swap bikes and see how fast she could go on the road bike! Some real heroes out there [;)]
