As many of you know, Vertical Listing (Kristen) and I have a little wager at the Texas State Triathlon in March. With all the smack that is going on in the logs, I thought I would bring our dispute out into the open.

So far, it's Welshy against the Insipid Forces of Hosschickery (the IFH).

So pick a side, declare your intentions, make a stand and put your loyalty on the line.

Who will win?

Without any REAL information, we would be forced to vote based on personalities, which would result in a landslide victory for vertical listing. For a start, give us the breakdown of best averages in each discipline for each participant. At a minimum, what are the distances in the goal triathlon?

Should I include you in the Insipid Forces of Hosschickery (the IFH)?

The race is an Olympic.  As to times, you would have to look in the logs if you wanted to take it that seriously. Kristen's 1st OLY.  I am doing it without a wet suit again.

I will win fair and square. No worries, no issues.

What Welshy calls the IFH, is merely a gathering of wise people, knowing to put their money on the wining team. I mean to call it the IFH totally discounts all the wonderful men who are supporting me!

And to call the Hoss Chicks insipid....well thats just incorrect:

INSIPID

1) Lacking flavor or zest; not tasty.

2) Lacking qualities that excite, stimulate, or interest; dull.

All the Hoss Chicks on this board, and we are all hoss, I mean come ON we're triathletes for goodness sake, are FULL of flavor & zest. We, on a daily basis excite, stimulate, and liven up the world around us!!

It's on.  As semi-groggy chat lieutenant, and having been present at the original chat, I am sole witness and scribe to the altercation that has resulted in this epic struggle between two triathalon titans.  To this end, I have preserved the original chat to enshrine the moment that this challenge was consumated - and provide the appropriate ammo once the winner has been coronated - and loser drained of their extra cash at the bar. 

The battle is being waged ALREADY on the roads, in the pool, in the forums, and in the Chat Room (9-11 nightly).  Selected excerpts and conclusions from past chats include:

  • The IFH is a force to be reckoned with
  • Spelling is for Losers
  • Welshy uses invisible ink in his training log
  • One or the other will be waiting at T2 for the other in a lounge chair

In my highly Official and Ceremonial capacity I cannot 'publicly' declare allegiance...but will announce my picks in the Pre-Tri show (I'm hosting, with Peter Reid, May, Fromer, and Max providing color commentary).

OMG! I'm out of the loop! That's what happens when I have to WORK at WORK, and I have no computer at home! What's all this about!??!?!?  I love a friendly wager, though... even when I don't know what's going on!

I'm going to have to put my money on Kristen, however. I know she's been working hard... as evidenced in her Logs... and I have a feeilng she's going to kick some Welshy-A$$!!

As an added incentive... I'll send the winner a complimentary tube of "Brazen Raisin"... So let's HOPE it's Kristen. (!!!)

Good Luck!!!

May, Fromer and Max are all part of the IFH! ...and Max HATES me (my hill is bigger than his).  They can't objectivly provide comentary!!!

And no, Bootylicious, not all Hoss Chicks are insipid, only those affiliated with the IFH.

I have promised to wait for Kristen at EACH of the Transition areas to provide support and... ah... encouragement.

In my defense, I will state that it's pretty sad when you count running over an armadillo as a "hill." I am gonna have to stay in the "Hoss Chick" camp, and it has NOTHING to do with the fact that Kristen has paid me in advance. In fact, I have even gone so far as to purchase a wig so that I may be able to compete in this year's Danskin triathlon.

I voted for the "Welshy trips Kristin at the end" category, since I feel that it will probably take some sort of skullduggery for him to win this contest. This sorta smacks of "Bobby Riggs vs. Billie Jean King" and despite the outcome, there will be the expected flood of rants, excuses, and down and out libelous accusations from the Michelin Man camp.

Are you gonna wear a "wife beater" during the event?

It was a hill!!

The Michelin Man Camp (the MMC) has voted Max's group, the Insignificant Wannabe  Hosschickery's (the IWH), "2005's third wheel of the year" and "most likely to confuse a hill with an armadillo."

With this award, Max will recieve a complementary month long membership in the Insipid Forces of Hosschickery (the IFH) and 5 dollars towards his "gender alteration" surgery.

Do I need to freakin' remind Max that the hill in question is located smack dab in the middle of the Texas Hill Country.  Erego, it's a hill. 

Man, Welshy, you got to get a wetsuit for that race...  Once is just goofy but twice is plain idiotic.  All the same, I am picking you to win.  Unless you overload on Egg McMuffins on race morning, then I'm hitching a ride on the IFH bandwagon.

Make sure you are in a wave that leaves before Vertical's wave, that way you can saunter, and I know you know how to saunter, back out onto the run course and wreak some havoc.

Since Welshy spends all of his time composing wannabe David Lee Roth songs, odes, and other deep, dark heart-wrenching, kleenex-soaking poetry (sniff sniff), I don't think he has time to train. Not to mention all the time he spends in the chatroom and engaging in generally insulting behavior in fellow BT'ers logs. I think the only thing Welshy works out are his TYPING FINGERS.

As a result, I'm casting my vote for Kristen.

Welshy, you know I think you're great. However, just by the sheer coolness of this post, my vote has to go to Vertical! But don't worry, I voted for her giving you the atomic wedgie.... so at least it's close.

I'm glad I finally know what all that dirty talk flying between you two in the chat room was all about....

Subject: RE: Welshy vs. Vertical Listing
well, it looks like a virtual lock for Kristen around here, not that there was any doubt where my allegience (lies?  lays?  lie?) IS.  But I think there should have been a few more options to choose from, such as:

1.  Welshy, swimming without a wetsuit, gets hypothermia and passes out in the water.  VL swims BACK to rescue him, hauls his half dead carcass up on the beach, and then continues on to a PR.

2.  While Kristen is busy having a killer PR, Welshy is sidetracked by a beer stand and DNFs.  Later as they're packing up their gear, K gives W an atomic wedgie JUST BECAUSE SHE CAN!!

and finally....the race is just called of due to a LACK OF HILLS in the area.
