SSWC07

It's a beautiful morning. 65 degrees F., nary a cloud in the sky and a light wind. So I'm planted in front of the computer drinking coffee waiting for the first batch of waffles.

Priorities.

I could be out cheering on friends and strangers competing in the IronMan, but no, I won't feed their addiction. Someone I know, Mark, has such a dislike for triathlons, or maybe triathletes, he has stated his opinion on more than one occasion. He feels a triathlon has no redeeming value at any level. It forces the person attempting to neglect their family while they train for swimming, riding and running. Keeping in mind these triathletes rarely are vying for top positions and after surviving their first Tri, they'll put themselves and their families through the wringer for another year in they hopes of bettering their performances by a few minutes. Feel free to direct your comments or insults to mesaunders@tds.net by all means.

Anyhow, I was dorking around looking at various images from SSWC07 when I found the images above. While I know Evil is everywhere, I didn't expect to see someone in the long sleeved BKB kit



Marco had gone with many hopes and dreams smuggled through customs. Unfortunately shit happens even to fast guys and he met with misfortune.


Next year's SSWC will be in Napa Valley (Northern California for those geographically impaired)

Apparently I need proper motivation to get fit and fast. I know I could go and have a great time, but I'd like to have a better than average performance at an event of that "stature." So I look forward to behaving much as the aforementioned triathletes in the next year.

Who wants to tell Karen?
