1983 Windermere Loop
Can you guess who it is? Thats right, it's Dr. Big Deal (aka Dr. Tommy) at age 15. Check out the thick head of hair!!
Tom is that a half-shirt? It goes well with those socks!
Here is what he has to say about the photo:
"This was the 1983 Windermere loop. I had just turned 15 and did one bike and one run to get ready for this race. I had a 10 min lead out of the water and was second onto the bike...it took awhile to get those socks on :) I did this race again in 1984 and then took a 16 year break from triathlon. 1983 (3:24:40) - 27:14 swim + 1:44 bike + 1:13 run 1984 (2:57:23) - 27:08 swim + 1:33 bike + 56:39 run 2001 (2:37:40) - 25:51 swim + 1:16 bike + 55:12 run splits for the 2150 swim, 55km bike, 12km run...in 2001 I was swimming way slower but used a wetsuit"
I'm pretty sure he spent the 16 year break from triathlon going to dental school, eating nachos and drinking beer.
He's come a long way since 1983:

I personally do not think my hair line has changed much from 83 to the present...it's just the angle of the camera.
And I still have that half shirt!
