Mongo got the rare reverse smackdown today from a world class triathlete. I'm thinking at least semi-pro.
How could I tell he was serious threat rather than a well disguised weekend poseur? There were a couple of dead giveaways.
First of all...he passed me like I was standing still. I was probably going 24 when he blew by me. Secondly, he wasn't riding a Cervelo or Trek TT bike. It was a Quintana Roo (old school tri brand used by racers), all carbon'd out with HED wheels. Thirdly, he was built like a strong safety but wearing the "gayest" unitard I've ever seen. Also, the obligatory full aero helmet and shoes with no socks.
All of this added together equals Iron Man Champion 2006. I don't feel too bad for only hanging for five miles.
