Laughter is the best medicine... Share any funny story youve had in your training or racing. Here is one of mine... 2012 Ironman Louisville, the heat index on the marathon had reached 103, and ALL of us were walking. Around mile 23, I was walking with 2 guys, and one of them had on a brand new expensive pair of Oakleys, and put them on top of his head since it was starting to get dark. A few minutes later, he forgot they were there, reached up to scratch his head, and knocked them off onto the ground. The 3 of us just stopped, all looking down at the glasses, and none of us could bend down to pick them up! We asked other athletes walking by if they could help, and you would have thought we were asking them to jump out of a plane with no parachute. Finally, one guy agreed to give it a try, but 2 of us had to hold his arms on each side while he slowly bent down, and then lift him back up into a standing position. Im sure any spectators watching had no idea why we there was so much drama and laughter going on. It really helped to take our minds off the pain and is something I will never forget.
