Tell us the secret behind your pseudonym

Mine comes from a pilot acronym describing the weather...

C - clear

A - and

V - visibility

U -unrestricted

Pretty much describes the perfect day!!!  I just took it on as a "way of life"!!!  It is more a state of mind than anything.

The 9 is of course my favorite number. 

I can sometimes think up some really clever handles, pseudonyms, nicknames, etc.  EXCEPT for when I'm asked to register for the first time.  So, joeinco is just Joe in Colorado...

Now, the duck...!  That started with a thread about sharing swimming lanes back in April (I think).  The saga about the duck continues to grow...(if you want to know the whole story, you'll have to PM me...)

I guess mine is pretty obvious...I just like to keep things simple.

Cavu...I like it...better than W0X0FF.....

I used to use my first initial, last name combo for any boards I posted on. However, I was never happy with that. I just lack any sort of imagination. Once I got in to Tri's and started posting on another Tri related board, I wanted a nickname that had to do with with Tri's. I didn't want to use TriRob as I felt it was too easy. Finally remembered that I graduated UCLA (Go Bruins!). So TriBruin it was!

Funny thing is that so far I have been able to use it on most boards I frequent. However, someone already had it on eBay (and has never used it ) So I had to use TriBruin90 (my graduation year).

It is so interesting to hear peoples stories.

My mom is from Denmark and while listening to the lull of Danish growing up (with out ever really understanding it), I fell in love with some of the sounds/words.  Also my mum is a person who just goes - and goes and goes.

I wanted to call my daughter Laerka (the a & e are attached when spelt properly), but since I had 2  boys instead ... my bike got named Laerka!   So the name for me is an inspiring reminder to always keep at it.

The picture was simple, it was the only picture I had when I registerd on the forum that was from a tri and not a blur!

My last name is Wisz. Sounds like "Whiz". So Whizzer it is...

Has nothing to do with peeing or Cheeze Whiz. (At least not directly)

Also has nothing to do with my perceived speed.  (yet!)

PS the photo is just an updated tri-picture. I think I look rather scary... (!!!!)

As my son grew up, my wife coined a little name for him as Pikle, eg "come here Pikle". This then also got used on me, so to distinguish between us, my son became Iklepikle and I got Bigpikle. I have also been known to get into a big pickle with things from time to time.....

No story on the image but 'stole' it from another site on a different subject because I thought it looked fun. It will change later this week when the new bike arrives.......

Um, my first name is Kim. My last name starts with a J. I was born in '81. I am also unoriginal and boring.

The pic is me rowing Hell's Half Mile rapid on the Green River. That was the best rapid ever. It's a III+ to IV- rapid with one really tough move. I watched everyone else in my group botch it and get stuck on one rock or another. Then I hit it better than anything I've ever done. It was awesome. That's my boat, Little Purple. She's the best. :-) We've had some good times together. *wishing she was on a river right now, instead of in a cubicle*

I tried to change the pic the other day, but it refused to change....
