A tri friend of mine sent this shot of the guy going into the IMFL swim with FINS!!!!! My friend Leigh got kicked by those very same fins during the race.
My husband got a shot of the Seadoo speeding to ream out the guy, and take down his number. You can see that he did not have a number on his cap, and word is he gave the race director a number that belonged to someone else. He also put up a good fight denying the fins were his--my husband witnessed that shouting match. I am told he put the fins on the sandbar we had to walk over as he finished the first loop, intending to get them back before loop two. I cannot even imagine how one would manage something like that logistically, not to mention morally.
Haven't heard yet if he was DQ'd. Seem this guy has shaky results from a number of Ironman events, and other major races like the New York City Marathon.
Here's the RD in the Seadoo reaming out the guy. What a creep.
