Hardware for my 2nd place finish at the Eagleman Tri today!

I really didn't stick around today to collect my hardware for my second place age group finish at the Eagleman Tri today.    Had I done so I'm sure it would have been one of the most embarrassing moments of my tri career.   You see, I did place today for the first time...   There was a pretty significant catch though...  They had me listed as FEMALE 35 - 39.   As you can see below Judy and I had a helluva close race.  She got me by 4 seconds.  :)

FEMALE AGE GROUP : 35 - 39 Place Name Age Time City St ===== ==================== === ======= =====================
1 Judy Hudson 39 1:39:45 HATTIESBURG MS
2 Chad Soileau 37 1:39:49 BATON ROUGE LA
3 Rhonda Hayden 35 1:40:49 HATTIESBURG MS

"2nd place goes to Chad Soileau.   Chad?   Are you here?   Chad?   Does anyone know if she left?   I guess she left."

Congratulations!!! 
Sh*t, they could have listed me as a trans-sexual-Ostrich and I’d have been pleased with the win too!
Awesome job!

Glad to see life is permitting you to keep at the races.
Hope the hurricane repairs are coming along well.

Keep up the incredible work!

Way to go, Chad. Some of those middle aged women are fast!

Hope the mixup didn't have anything to do with the style of swimwear you chose! lol

I thought from the title of the post you were requesting a different set of "Hardware," so you could win second place! Don't go there, lol.

 

Chad way to get in touch with your inner woman! BwaHahaha!!! All joking aside still great effort. Rocky Top

A podium finish is a podium finish anyway you slice it Chad.   

Great story, thanks for sharing

I usually finish in the top 50% of my races in my MALE age group but nowhere close to getting hardware.   On the other hand if I had a vagina I would finish in the top 3 probably 75% of the time or more.  I guess that would be going a little overboard to be fitted with lady parts in order to win some races.  Heh, my girlfriend prolly would have a problem with that decision. 

Heck its just another surgery...

Congrats to ya Chad! Don't be such a stranger, drop in more often.

If I get the urge to tuck and dance in front of my mirror "Silence of the Lambs" style will I still be welcome here?  :)
