Frustrated by finding the Hawaii Ironman crowd "too serious," Cory Foulk decided to make a statement, that is, you don't need ten grand to do the race. How did he prove it? By riding a 61 pound single speed beach cruiser, barefoot, with ten pounds of Jolly Ranchers on board.
I don't know what's funnier, the fact that he called in race reports to a local radio station from pay phones (wiki that, kids, if you've never seen one), or that he bombed through the downhills with his feet on the handlebars, with other racers trying to draft him. (Not only is that illegal, but wouldn't you be just a little embarrassed by the fact that you let such a ride get ahead of you?)
