MORE TRI SPEAK (pinched from various sources for your enjoyment):

... Invisibuoy – The disappearance of the huge orange or yellow buoy on the swim if it is rough or if the sun is in your eyes

... Spreader – An individual who takes up too much space in transition and encroaches on your area

... Robothlete - The individual you see running with music player, headphones, heart rate monitor, pace watch with GPS, and a fuel belt decked out with goodies and gadgets that make it look similar to Batman's utility belt. Additional style points added if the sunglasses somehow resemble the Terminator!

Hope to catch up with you Sunday,
Cheers,
Robyn
