EMT Caption Contest sponsored by the Lake Mead Triathlon

We need your help again. This summer we snapped this photo at the start of a local race.

As you can tell this race photo is in desperate need of a good caption. The official in the yellow vest seems very intent on making sure the race number is being properly displayed at the start of the race.

Our friends at Lifetime Fitness, who are putting on the Lake Mead Triathlon on November 12 in Boulder City, Nevada, are giving away a free entry to the race for the best caption to this photo.

If you want to add a great race to your 2011 race schedule (and/or if you have a funny and creative idea)...just use the comments section below to add your caption to this photo.

And the winner of EMT's twitter race to 3000 is....

And the winner of last week's photo contest is....

Last week we posted this photo and asked you to ID the triathlete.

As you can tell it is the day's training plan for a triathlete.

As it happens this is a training plan for a professional triathlete. And that triathlete is Linsey Corbin...who is training in Arizona.

The first person to correctly ID the pro triathlete was Chad...who'll now get a DVD copy of our 2010 Ironman World Championships movie "17 Hours".

Congrats Chad!

Photo caption contest: The most talked about Xterra photo ever

According to the most recent Xterra newsletter this is the most-talked about Xterra photo ever.

The newsletter states, "In the 2007 XTERRA World Championship, two bikini-clad women started running alongside Lee Cannon as he was finishing the triathlon along Makena Beach. The image was captured and has become one of XTERRA’s most talked about photos."

We can certainly see why this photo has generated so much (ahhh) discussion.

Contest: Rudy Project Helmet is going to.....

On Monday we announced that today we would be giving away this brand new Rudy Project TT helmet to anyone who either signed-up for our eNewsletter and/or swapped links with us.

You'll notice the new Helmet modeled by Tommy, the person who picked the winner.

We tough it would only be fair that 11-year-old Tommy select the winner as he has no stake in this competition.

OK, that's not completely true as Tommy did take a shine to the helmet. But luckily for the contest he only rides a mountain bike, and the helmet is about 1400 sizes too big for him. So it was not all that difficult to convince him to part with the helmet and pick a winning name out of it.
