What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you in a race? it's not the funniest thing ever, but my first ever tri was a nightmare, I spent the start of the swim trying to keep my shorts up (I didnt have a wetsuit - didn't think that far) because everyone was mowing me down and pulling my shorts down, got out feeling dizzy as than wasn't let out of transition until I found a tshirt because I didnt have one, some guy threw me one which was 3 sizes too big so I finished the race in a monster tshirt and probably a rediculous placing... things have changed alot since than, that was a huge learning curve for me
