@Evanc1231 got to be sponsors, you see the bikes he had in the other vids

[Brett1279]

@mcgrawmark i agree about wearing the IM gear, you should only wear it once you have earned it.

[Maccaism]

took long enough in transition?

[Evanc1231]

is he sponsored by kswiss and trek or is he just spending a ton of money for his first race?

[cuevster]

[cuevster]

His name is Matt, but he looks like a Fred.

[mcgrawmark]

love his dedication, he is in for a long long winter. He will be ready ...it takes a specific sense of focus and he seems to have it. However, he should not wear the IM gear until he actually finishes one IMO. I was yelled at for wearing a visor for a race I had not completed. Just sayin...
