In 2011, Jesse Thomas, a former collegiate runner, entered the Wildflower Triathlon in the pro division, as an unknown competitor. He borrowed a bike (since his was broken) and an aero helmet (which he didn’t own) and he wore $9 aviator sunglasses he bought at a drug store. He ended up winning the race, astounding everyone including the announcer, who asked when he crossed the finish line first, “What is your name?”

Since then, Jesse has won the Wildflower Triathlon six times, three 70.3s, two Ironman events, and finished 16th at the Kona Ironman World Championships.
