who are we talking about here?
seems pretty obvious they were just swimming/running together. obviously the run was very slow, so I don't get why they just didn't do this for training. Unless the other guy was racing and Webb was just doing it with him for fun.
and Michael Jordan playing baseball
Probably practicing his sighting,drafting skills. There can be a lot more physical contact at the start of an open water swim than a running event on the track or roads. Plus it was probably close to 90 degrees at 6:30 pm.

Her swim time was about the same as Webb's so she is probably a swimmer (non-skinny) and her run time (17:42) seems quite fast for a swimmer. So Webb's already pedestrian 16:18 seems even more so.
It looks like she is a sponsored triathlete.

A challenge for Letsrun.com'ers:
Go to the track, run a mile at your current 5k race pace. Jump on your bike, any bike, ride 10 - 15 miles, at a respectable pace, finishing at the track. Try running 3k - 5k at 15 - 20 seconds per mile slower than your current 5k race pace and tell us how it goes.
Is that you, Larry Rawson?
He should make the aquathlon AKA splash and dash popular and compete in that. Who needs "the bike" anyways? The pure sports are swimming and running.

Which sprint tri is he doing today?
Should 16:18 be a jogging pace for someone like him?

Hmmm, is that The Chad Hall in 4th place? Interesting.
It looks like the top 5 finishers are all part of this elite development training group, so the race was local for them. The picture sure looks like "the Chad Hall". For what it's worth, Ryan and Chad's father did triathlons, though I don't know that he was ever anything more than an age group competitor.
What is Webb's result for today's Tri?
1st overall. Chad Hall for 2nd.
The question is did he look relaxed?
