Subject: RE: Team TestosterbonesGentlemen: I have participated in the previous two boys vs. girls challenges, met my goals, and yet I still suffered the ignominious fortune of defeat at the hands of these lovely, yet somewhat annoying examples of hossness. We are all now paying the price in the form of my, and other poor souls, a$$atars, here on display for the whole world to see. At any given time, the percentage of lurkers vs. registered members on BT hovers around 45% to 55%. Imagine what's going through their minds about the men of BT. Think for a moment of what this has done to our reputation in the larger tri world. Imagine if Norman Stadler or Peter Reid were to just casually cruise the forums on a lark.What do you want them to see? We are triathletes. We do this to make more of ourselves than we've ever been. It is time to do just that. We are ahead, but the race has just begun. We must not win by a few percentage points. We must win unquestionably, irrefutably, decisively. It is time to put in miles you didn't know you had in you. Wake up 15 minutes earlier for your weekday morning rides, go past your usual turnaround point to the next train track, get on your bike this weekend with the goal of not getting off until you can say "epic". Avenge me! Ride 'boners! Ride! Ride! |
