When you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

I get quite a few questions, Garyellen.

The whole story is in the race logs under Texas State TRi.  The short version is it was my first tri (oly) and I figured I could stay in cold water for 30 minutes or so (it took me 49 minutes - pure hell).  Problem is, I hyperventilated the whole time as the water was 55 degrees with high wind and waves, against the current - I couldn't freestyle.  I had to do the breast stroke for the whole 1500 meters, which led to cramps as I didn't practice that stroke much.  There are other pictures in the albums....

Why is the grass ALWAYS greener on the other side of the hill?  And if you walked over to the other side, how then could the grass be greener on the other, first side?

Sorry Tom, you must have thought by me asking, that I really cared.

s'ok, Garyellen.  I wouldn't have expected anything less, er... more... whatever.  Besides, I am my most favorite subject and will take any oportunity to pontificate. 

In the one area where I am a little let deown by you, I am very surpried and dissapointed at your humdrum and dishonest answer to the question "what color does a smurf turn when you choke it?" 

We know you have a smurf, Garyellen.  What color does it turn when you choke it?

If you want off the list, you know what you have to do....

Hey Tom, it's nearly 100F in Houston again today.  Are you ready for a bleeping hot half ironman in two weeks.

Good Googily Moogily.

*Not to mention that HILL!

No kidding.  I am checking the extended forecast for Grand Prairie, and the highs do dip below 90F at the end of the string.  But there is no shade on my run course.

I'll probably lose about 25 pounds during the race.  That's not a joke.

Uh-oh.  We're coming dangerously close to making this thread about something.
