Welshy!!

A. Ken is a d!ck.  Probably because he doesn't have one.

B. You're one of my favorite people on BT because you could care less what people think and you are who you are.  Definitely not a poser.

C. You're hot. (nice tongue)

D. You have a TON of people who will be pulling for you on April 15th.  I can't wait to read your race report.  You CAN do this!!!

XO,
E

 

Thanks...

But just once I'd like someone to be into me for my mind instead of my tongue... LOL

 I've been called a lot of things, but "hot" is never at the top of the list, thanks for the complements!

When I bouht my wetsuit last year for my first OLY, the guy at the shop asked me what it was for and I told him it was for the OLY triathlon.  He looked me up and down and said, with a smirk, "You do triathlons?"...as if I was an intruder into his sacred fraternity of elite bodied/lifestyle athletes.  I finished anyway.

I'm nervous as he!! about the HIM in 6 weeks, but I'm leaning towards believeing that I met my goal as soon as I take my first swim stroke on race day.  For the sake of Ken and my wetsuit salesman, I hope you finish.

I caught attitude like this all the time, both when I told people I was a marathon runner, or a triathlete, or for the short while I was a personal trainer.  People would look at me funny...like really?  hmmm...but whats important is that I kept going.  When I run a race come home and finish, my partner always jokingly asks...did you win?  He know tho, that the point has never been to cross the finish line but to get to the start line.  For me, at least...on of my tattoos has the word Sophrosyne in it.  Meaning to "know thy self"  or " the ever struggling for perfecting, yet knowing perfection is never obtainable."

I gotta tell you this thread is a wonderful compilation of humor and support.  Just a few of my favorite observations:

1.  How cool is the word asshat?

2.  How sexy are women that call men dicks?

3.  No matter what country you go to, women love guys with long tongues.

4.  Buckeye is way cool

5.  It is amazing how big things are when they happen, and how little they are after we cool off a bit.

Now rage BT mafia  rage on

Some snarky troll has incited a BT mafia uproar.  In the process of this uproar, we have found out some very important information:



Welshy looks like someone who can give a mean tongue-lashing. 

Maybe I should provoke him so I can get mine....

At this point I don't think anyone's really mad anymore, we're just trying to see who can be funnier.

Trolls are like chew toys around here.

Oops, the squeaker fell out.  I hate it when that happens.

I think that's about right....

 

My biggest concern at this point is in reading over my "rant" I see all the places where my expletives disappeared: Why can you say dick and not pu$$y? Both are common, perfectly acceptable words if used in the right way, but even used wrongly, dick is ok, but pu$$y is not.

 

For example

 

Ken has a little dick

 

Ken is a

(see, not even a wiff of pu$$y)

seems unjust and possibly discriminatory. Female anatomy should get the same descriptive rights as male anatomy, don't you think?

See... I would be peeved about the use of the female anatomy as a describer to imply that someone was "less of a man"...

But that doesn't at all detract from the fact that I think this Ken fellow is less than HUMAN.

Welshy, I'm looking forward to sharing the IMAZ course with you next weekend! Hopefully we'll see each other out there. And if it's on the run course and you're in need of a hug, just let me know.

Dude, I’ve seen your training logs and race reports. Drop out before you kill yourself."

Sounds like one of those mysterious threats "... those meddling kids ..." receive on Scooby Doo. (Yes, I have kids. Yes, we have a DVD player in the minivan.  Yes, I hear Scooby all too often.)

Fair enough....  Besides, it's not fair to the specific anatomy in question, which I hold dear.

Not only is it not fair - it's a slur on the most powerful and creative force in humankind! I think flacid is the word you're looking for. Calling him the p word is like calling him a GOD. Think about it, people!

I have to say, I totally agree with what you posted.

That said, I looked at your logs, and just looking at them scares me as far as doing an IM.  I'll be waiting with interest to see how it works for you.

The main thing is though, it sounds like you are going to enjoy yourself whatever happens...

I have NO doubt that you are gonna finish your IM, and in true Welshy style at that!  I wish I could be there to see your smiling face cross that finish line!!  I will be watching online though.

You have been an inspiration and motivation for me for a long time now.  Your words ring thru my head at EVERY race....2 years ago for my first Oly, when I was looking at the water scared to death, you, in a very stern tone said...."G8R, DON'T BE A PU$$Y"!!  It still works today!!   Thanks for who you are Tom!!

Welshy -

I know almost nothing about you, except that Comet says you can't spell (I don't know why, but that always stuck in my head).

After reading through the brouhaha, your blog, etc., though:

You friggin rock. Go to Arizona, kick your own butt, push yourself, and have a great day.

My only competition in IM might be Sister Mary Madonna, and she could beat me today without even thinking about. That doesn't mean that I don't train, hurt, sacrifice, and give to the sport of triathlon. I've earned my spot (IMWA unless the lottery comes through), and I'm making my own goals (sub 17, baby!).

You now personify this for me. Look at the outpouring of support on this thread and the Ken thread. You've made something happen not just for your own race, but for lots of us who want to not be ashamed of our bodies, our performances, and our goals. I'll be tracking you on race day, and cheering.
