EN is loaded with a ton of super fast Dudes and Chica's (Matt Ancona, Dave Tallo and Teri Cashmore to name a few), but it sure seems like some of the newbies could be a bit intimidated thinking that EN is only for triathletes at the "pointy end".
Well Jess and I are here to stand up for the "MOP'ers" and "BOP'ers". Sometimes having a one thing mantra of "just finish" is still a heck of a big goal. Some people are fighting through injuries or simply just starting their couch to Ironman quest. When I am out there trying to survive an Ironman or Half-IM I often think to myself "Self, I may be slow, but hey, 99.99% of the people in world never even attempt a Long-Course Triathlon". Hell, there are probably 500 members of EN that didn't even attempt the EN ICTT this yr because it just seems impossible! Hopefully this will inspire you to start training and make it your mission to at least get to the starting line of the ICTT next yr...
With that, I present to you The Withrow's entry into the Official 2012 EN ICTT:
Thanks for the lactose intolerance exemption team, but my stomach is already torn up from food and beer. So I'm out for the ICTT this year. Maybe next year!
Our challenge started with this quote "That cute little Ross couple has no chance to win, but hey 2nd place will still be on the podium, right..." which was issued by J&J Withrow.
We know the challenge was issued only to the Ross's but the Ottawa Sleeper Cell is a tight knit group.So the Pilons and the Delany's joined forces with us to unseat the Withrow ICTT crown 2011. Seizing the moment, we called a team meeting and reviewed John's vid from last year, so we all knew what we were up against.
Like any good team, we sat down and put a plan together. Work the plan, not let the plan work you. We vowed to work together and stay inside the EN box.
We decided that we should fuse our Ottawa Sleeper Cell close out triathlon with the ICTT 2012 challenge, so off to the race site we went.
To get a sneak preview of this video go to the 3rd page and click on Nat Pilons trailer it's awesome!!

I have to confess - I doped before the TT with a double dose of lacteze. Although it clearly did not help me with my ICTT. I am confessing today as I did not want my team mates to have to keep it in the vault, and then if found out, be guilty by association. To make it clear, my fellow team mates did not dope for this TT or any other events. It is only I who chose to take this rode.
Another successful ICTT in the books! I do have a simple request for future videos. Please post a spoiler alert or a "Do Not Drink Coffee" while watching the video! I had a coffee spewing incident when Ross and Pilon took off running around the track in full . . . . well you'll just have to watch the video! Very funny Ross and Pilon!
No submittion from me this time - I couldn't risk the load of recreational calories the day before my marathon. Ran well in the rain - finished 3:37 10th in AG.
Congrats to the Ottawa Sleeper Cell on a well earned win!
Nice job by the Ottawa Sleeper Cell, although Canadians have an unfair advantage with access to ice cream year round. No many people know that when you live in Canada can simply leave a glass of milk outside for 30 minutes and when you come back you have ice cream, crazy right? Totally true, I read it on wikipedia*.
Whithrows had the highest production value, next year I'm expecting a 3 camera shoot.
As for me, I had a little less than half a container before i had to stop, that's right, I DNF'd the ICTT - too cold/sweet for me to do in one sitting.
ok, me and my big mouth. I had a time of 4:18, 800 calories, 28g of fat and *16*g fiber!! (damn soy ice cream). Now I just gotta figure out the video...
Here is the short video of my ICTT Peanut Butter Cup 4:40 which was a new PR. 1400 calories with 880 calories from fat makes this the most difficult of the B&J flavor line-up. WMICTT = 439 per the spreadsheet.
Nice work Julia. No extra points for not drinking water, because as you can see on our vid, neither did we. I like your commentary, but I especially like your helmet. I think you are now second. My hubby came in at 3:10
@Natelie- Bravo, Bravo! Maybe next yr, we'll farm out our production to you! @Brian-- Great Video and nice effort. That spoon was huge! Love the music selection! @Julia-- We were cracking up watching your video. How did you get that camera angle? Simply Awesome! @Greg-- Boo. Was waiting all day for ya Big Fella! @Cary-- Boo.
John Stark, ICTT Group to Stark??? Where is your video?
Yah like JW said. Pony up Starky let see what you brought to the table an it better begin with an I and end in an m!!! I.. #%*$m. Hats off to all the challenge participants well done!
