I don't like or want to swim. I know du people around here that would kick the azz up between the shoulder blades of most of the tri people on this site even if they finished last in the swim. Ignore the comment - it was ignorant I know I should... but it does reinforce my impressions that the running community is more welcoming of anyone than either the cycling or tri communities are. eh - I'm not going there |

Ignore it. I swim. I don't run. On occasion, I ride my stationary bike. (Great scenery. Heh.) And when I encounter people like that, I just move on. They can't be "educated." And if I try to reason with them, they don't listen, and all that happens *I* get upset. So instead, I hang out in Nibbins. LOL |

Ignore the comment - it was ignorant I know I should... but it does reinforce my impressions that the running community is more welcoming of anyone than either the cycling or tri communities are. I wonder how the swimming communities are. LOL (I don't even know if any exist.) As for me - I've found a home here in the Challenge Forum. Although, the Mentor forum is working out well, too.  |

I don't like or want to swim. I know du people around here that would kick the azz up between the shoulder blades of most of the tri people on this site even if they finished last in the swim. Ignore it. Surely he was joking. Just think of how many people here are incredibly supportive and what a good resource it is. You like to run and bike. So that's what you should do. I like to train but I don't love to race... that impacts no one but me so why should anyone else care even a little bit? I think there is a small group of BT'ers that need to feel superior at the expense of others. It is really unfortunate because the vast majority of people here are genuinely encouraging. However, it's also just life. No matter what arena you're in you will find that this exists... career, social, triathlon... errrr... duathlon I've had two incidents lately that I kind of had to shrug my shoulders about: on Thanksgiving of all days, someone said something very ugly about the number of inspires I had. WTF? Who cares? It just made me feel sorry for him. More recently I got my wrist slapped by a "my philosophy is different and therefore better than yours" person. That's OK, too. I learn from situations like that. Soooo... bottom line, take it with a grain of salt... which we all know is best served with a margarita.

I don't like or want to swim. I know du people around here that would kick the azz up between the shoulder blades of most of the tri people on this site even if they finished last in the swim. Look at me I havent raced since early 2006 - why... well most people know why, health issue, injuries its been icky... But if you dont visit my log and havent been around for the last 2 years you might just assume Im lazy and dont belong here... But the CORE of BT, the people who make this place what it is.... are good people and respect people for their goals.. no matter what sporting pursuit they may be targetting. Like I said in TAN a LONG time ago.... Put yourself in a room with 100 people... you will be good friends with some people, great mates with some more, casual acquantices with most of the rest and there will be a few you do NOT get a long with. BT is bigger than 100 people so there is more of each of these elements... but thats just life. And NO ONE can let you feel bad about yourself but YOU. And I chose not to let others make me feel bad about me most of the time! |

| Pro 4216 Sous Mon Diadème | Subject: RE: They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) X spokes - 2007-12-19 9:22 PM My ankle is fine. I just overdid last week. Good, glad to hear... well, that the ankle's OK at any rate Can all the persons currently in Nibbins look at my race schedule on my blog for next year... I want some honest opinions, is it too much, or too much running and not enough cycle? Tough to say. It is a lot of running... especially since quite a few of the cycle events are duathlons so there's running there, too. I might try to balance it out a little more if there are other cycling options available but that's just me and I might be slightly biased towards the bike
