IN: It was 2 " out and backs " which gave spectators a chance to see the runners 4 times . That 's Heather Fuhr on the left and Paula Newby - Fraser handing out water at the turnaround . I was a bit shocked to see a number of Ironman competitors in the race and running hard ( I could see their registration wristbands . ) I was more shocked to see a guy running in corduroy shorts in fourth place trying to chase down the leaders .
What is the reason I would be shocked to see someone running in Corduroy shorts gaining in 4th place ?

OUT: corduroy is a thick and hot material .

IN: Certainly I ' ve done better but its been about 1 and a half since I used manual transmission . I did the drug and alcohol test ( I passed that too ! ) and then finally the physical . The physical included lifting 50 lbs , a heart - rate exercise , blood pressure and physical exam . I passed that too and was glad it was over .
What may happen after trying to drive manual ?

OUT: I will get used to it again .

IN: " He 's a little bit occupied at the moment , could I possibly take a message ? " There was muffled fighting and then the man laughed loud right in my ear . " Um , it 's Bam . I just wanted to know where he was . "
Is it easy to reach the man ?

OUT:
No , he seems to be difficult to reach
