RW: I know David Duchovny has been quite vocal in his
Malibu Triathlon defeat.
TD: "I know he really is. I found it to be so funny how
many people have contacted me about that. What's funny
about David Duchovny is that he's a fantastic swimmer but
he literally saunters around after the swim. It's really
funny. He'll be the first out of the water every race.
I've raced him three times. But it's like he's on a
casual stroll after that. I found it really funny
that he's upset that I beat him all the time because
during the race he doesn't seem concerned at all.
He's a total sweetheart that guy."
RW: You'll do Malibu again as the reigning champion?
TD: "Yeah, probably."
RW: Has your time improved over the three years?
TD: "It's kind of depressing, but no. They are about the
same. The swim, of course, every year is totally different.
You can get a tide. The swim, in most ocean tris, are very
varied. My bike and my run have gotten a little bit better
-- just seconds. It's kind of frustrating."
RW: Has the celebrity field changed much?
TD: "A lot of the same guys are there, like David Duchovny
is always there and Jon Cryer is always there. A lot of
the same guys are there. Will Ferrell was there one time.
He's hysterical and a very nice guy too."
