Doc, bite your tongue on this one...just let it be a nice story.    All of us adults know how you really feel about the CO2 thing.   

Looks like we've got a new wise-crack, wit of a writer to replace Ms. Coco (if indeed Ms. Coco slows down from writing on here).  Race report was a good and funny read Ms. Swallow, you're gonna give Matt, Ms. Coco, and Hiro some friendly competition.

Great photo at the awards at IM Florida.  You looked light, fresh, and care-free...carry that into next year Erika.  Good stuff and though your name is on the start list for IM Arizona, I'm assuming that's a mistake?  But then again you are Miss Coco and yes you are crazy enough to do that.

Love it, Keegan's first live interview on US soil? and he pulls the "Oh Shit" response while Heather is interviewing him.  Ha ha ha!

Erika, glad to hear that your humor and bike are still intact.  Don't want to spend anymore nights trying to come up with another name for the P4.  Hmmm...maybe talk to Bek about elegant ways to leave?  Didn't she arrive to some awards via air balloon?  Am also curious to see how you will work your fashion around the road rashes, maybe something 80's inspired  :

Some of your fans are worried about you.  Hope you still got some of that Queenslander fight and sense of humor about you.

Pure awesomeness, got chicken skin reading that last post.  

Way to get the job done Miss Coco, and once again, your wit comes through in your writing.  But I'm starting to think that your lack of English serves you well in your writing and makes it that much more humorous.  My advice is to stop learning more English, you know just the perfect amount so quit while you are ahead.

Doc, I lived in Coogee and rode to Cronulla every weekend.  And though I agree with you that the eastern suburbs rock, I thought Bondi Beach was overrated compared to the beaches on the Gold Coast and Queensland in general.  On second thought my allegiance is probably really to the girls of Team TBB  :  Bek in Burleigh Heads and Beck in Noosa.

As a yank who just got back from living 4.5 months in Australia (Sydney), I'm going to have to second what Beck wrote.  Sorry this is not much help, just a statement really of my new allegiance.

Emma, that was a great story, and told like the best of them on here.  You just reminded me of why it is that I do this sport.  Cheers!

Hmmmm...gotta go Team Coco on this one, sorry Bek.  All this smack talk is making this post much more interesting read.  Keep it up.

Erika, I love it that you still stopped your watch to get your split. 

Way to think outside of the box yet again.  My favorite was the pic of the volunteer at the finish who said, "Oh no, but I was cheering for Coco!"  Her face is priceless.

Miss Coco, welcome back to racing and what a return it was.  Thanks for giving me goosebumps in that finish.  Now that's the way to make triathlon a spectator friendly sport.
