There he was, standing at the edge of the shore line, watching the elites go crashing into the water like a flock of geese going after the prize fish. Like a pillar of pure athleticism, he wore his "onezy" with pride for all the world to see. It was white. And it was tight.
I walked down to him to make light conversation, neither one of us glancing to the side to see what the other looked like. It didn't matter. We were wearing swim caps.
He was spry and I was old so his wave took off first. That was the last time I saw him. Until I passed him on the run. I could hear him huffing and puffing as I sailed up behind him trying to recall if this was the same guy I saw earlier on the shoreline wearing semi illegal clothing. Yep, same guy. "Stay up with me!" I encouraged him. "Gasp! Puff" was all I heard from behind me...

Triathlete Movie Review - I am fan of Westerns. I probably have a half dozen or so in my movie collection, Tombstone, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Silverado, 3:10 to Yuma, Open Range, and The Magnificent Seven. There are many others I like that I don't yet have in my collection. I am also a fan of the Coen Brothers. Not a student of them, or a worshipper of them. I have not memorized the Big Lebowski and I have not seen all of thier movies. I do try to make a point to see their movies, and I am making a point to go back and watch the ones I have missed. The Big Lebowski is a great movie, No Country for Old Men is fantastic, of course there is Fargo, A Simple Plan, etc.
I was really looking forward to seeing True Grit, because of the Coen Brothers and because of the cast, Bridges (photo below), Damon, and Brolin. I have not read the book, which I heard was very good, and I have not seen..

WARNING: Some of what you are about to read is totally made-up stuff.
Going Off Course - Take a long look at the attractive young people with Reagan era hairdos in the photo (L). It's obvious that they had been "making out" hot and heavy, isn't it? Mullet boy with the demented grin and a bloodstream full of "horn-mones" is Skippy Studjock, then 18 and star quarterback of the Marshallton Bobcats, circa 1986-'89. The randy girl, her coiffe a casualty of their passion, is Bobcat cheerleader Angie Hop, then 17.
The picture was taken twenty-three years ago. Back then Angie, or "Ang" as she is known to the multitude of people who love her, was voted "Most Likely to Kiss Guys" by her fellow Marshalltown (IA) H.S. students. Not only that, she was...

Last Friday we received a cool slice of Heideggarian Existentialism from Litchfield triathlete Pete Royer. Have you ever heard Stephen Stills' "Thoroughfare Gap," Pete? If not, here's the LINK.
Hey MTN Guys,
I thought you might be interested in my little bike ride I did last summer. I didnt do as many tri's as I did Ride The Rockies in June. We rode 542 miles in a week thru and over the Rocky Mountains.
I attached two of our more epic days ride profiles....
