Heck yes! I am beginning to think I should have aimed for more! :-)

owl_girl - 2011-10-11 2:39 PM OK....gotta ask.  I've been on BT since 2006.  What's up with the donkey stuff?  Did I miss out on something?  Fill me in.  I can't stand it anymore! 

Isn't that a Wisconsin thing?

 

If anyone is truly interested, I can provide the information on what this all means.

And actually, it's not just a "'sconnie" thing, since there are few Donkai outside our area.

Spill the beans! 

I love when that happens. I know just the feeling. Bliss.

Yeah, makes me want to run more when that happens...

Me too, I am starting to come closer to that feeling again. I have run more miles in the first 11 days than I think I have run since July combined.

Arkansas is a Southeast state - they wore grey during the Civil war....

I thought Midwest was west of the Miss River?  I am in Wis and am in the Northeaster too.

x2!

Here's a background and such of Team Turbo Donkey Nation.

BT member Jszat, along with Morey1, are the founders.

Jszat's Facebook page for Team Turbo Donkey Nation -

A statement about the Donkey -

"Led by jszat and morey1, its a group of great, but questionably stylish, people that love tris... a group that has made a donklaration to support each other in and outside of triathlons... a group that some may deem to be a "bit off"... possibly due to their wearing clothes with donkey heads and carrots... or possibly because some choose to run with their bike helmet on (i'm assuming no one swims with their bike helmet on though)... and while there are clearly some very important rituals involving jolly ranchers and zima... it is even more important to remember the donkeys always bray and not bleat... and some day a fully nourished donkey may be lucky enough to catch the carrot through stubborn and steady training...
"

Even though most of us reside in the Milwaukee, WI region and a growing number in the Madison, WI area, there are Donkai all over. Most of the "chatter" is held in the Wisconsin Forum, and I would consider, if you want entertainment, is to hang in there.

Make your "Donklification" to Jszat and/or as a post in the WI Forum. You'll be accepted and then harrassed in no time.

Best of luck in your search.  Life is too short to do something you aren't enjoying.

But don't leave this thread - come on back and participate at least.  I'm sure some motivation will get your way.

Been there, done that...  did you burn it up all season?  If so, just take it easy and do which ever or whatever activity you enjoy for a few weeks.  Try to stay involved with BT and it will help get you back in the groove..

Yes, please! Even if that's not exactly "midwest," we'll take it, but you have to pronounce the name of the state properly: That's R-KANSAS, just like the river.
