Louie explains to Geoff what he did wrong

Louie, having just finished up with an Ironman, explains to Geoff that taking nutrition on odd-numbered aid stations only is meant for Sprint triathlons and not Half-ironmans.

Geoff, still in a daze, puts a towel to his face and explains: "Yikes, I thought I was doing something wrong by skipping all the free water and cola at even-numbered stations."

TexasIron athletes have lots of tricks to winning races. But, Geoff's strategy is not one of them.
