This photo was taken when Julie Moss, Scott Tinley, Mark Allen were racing. In other words I found it bubbling up in the tar at the famous La Brea Tar Pitts in West L.A.. I think I even raced Ahelee that day as well and I believe she rode a pink bicycle. If it was her and you have to know, she handed me my ass.
This particular race took place in Long Beach along the Belmont Shores and we all cheated and got to draft in a glorious peloton like they do in the Tour de France. It was epic.
I am also wearing one of the first "tri-suits" and look at those real "neato," Saucony shoes. I loved those shoes.
Here s a link to a site TYR put up so you can follow race online:

Tony... lets do another triathlon together some day - sooner than later!
that's a great picture dude! You look intense! I love that the ironman was sponsored by Bud Light... I wonder why they don't sponsor it anymore? It's not like triathletes stopped drinking beer :)
I fixed the typo and decided that Ahelee only has two names: " Coach Ahelee "
Tis race was an international distance race or back then
2k swim
40k bike
10k run
At first I thought that was a photo of Michael Phelps. You've got the look!
