Gallery of Sweetness: Los Angeles Triathlon Edition

Yesterday Los Angeles was bisected by a ribbon of yellow tape so that the participants in the LA Triathlon could have 24.8 miles of roads all to themselves. Had LA's own Wolfpack been able to scrape together the $55 needed to do the "bike only" portion and most importantly developed the stamina required to wake up before noon, they could have had themselves a nice little "hustle." But nope, I only saw one fixed gear out on the course.

Saw some other great stuff out there but I haven't yet had the chance to get my lil' Fun Saver dropped off at the last remaining photo lab.

In the meantime here's some great action shots from last year to hold you over.

Maybe you wouldn't struggle so much if you did only one thing at a time. Get your gloves on and then start chomping on your Powerbar. Or better yet, leave the gloves at home.

I like the preparation here. Got the number for the run already on and set to go and just in the earth decides to go out of orbit and crash into the sun, she's wearing enough sunscreen to not feel the burn.

Nice "o" face. Maybe you'd go faster if you weren't dry humping your seat. And put on a damn shirt.

Here's a good rule to live by, if you can afford a TT helmet with a built-in visor, you can afford to get a spare visor that's tinted- unless of course you're more concerned with forehead protection rather than an aerodynamic advantage.
