kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 66)

Are we going to talk about a sport that no American watches???  While we're at it can we talk about the Bruins winning last night??  Goes and hides in corner because there are a bunch of Yankees in this group.

Seriously though wish I knew more about pro cycling but I'm just learning about pro triathletes.  Of course I have a ton of time because the Astros are so bad it would be torture to watch them on TV. 

Yeah, he's ok.  An amazing sprinter, but the hottest sprinter is Tom Boonen.  He may not be the brightest, but he's certainly nice to look at.

I hate it when that happens. 

You don't watch TdF?  Give it one year, and I guarantee you'll be hooked!  No tennis players please!

Now that's pretty good!

I love the TdF when I can catch it.  It kinda goes in the category of "If it's on I'll watch, but I'm not going out of my way to make time." 

And one of the monuments of cycling -- Milan San Remo.  Plus he's a two time Madison world champion (and if Wiggins wasn't burnt out they'd have an Olympic medal as well).

The swimsuit edition of Triathlete is fine (although I tihnk they could have found hotter triathelete models).  Tennis players, not so much (although hot runners or swimmers would be appropriate as well).

Yeh, TdF is awesome and starts in a couple weeks . . . although its hard to watch with Lance not there anymore. 

For anyone not in the sport who sees you watching it  . . . they will say it is like watching paint dry, but the mountain climbs are the best . . . and where all the action happens . . . and the landscapes they cycle through are just gorgeous!!!

Ok, so with all this talk of favorite / hot athletes -- who is your favorite athlete (let's keep it to triathletes, swimmers, bikers and runners).

My favorite triathelte is Terrenzo Bozzone. 

And as everyone know, Cav is my favorite cyclist.

I am still learning triathlete names, so I had to google HOt Female Triathletes.  Apparently Lokelani mcMichael is the youngest female ever to complete Kona.  Who cares, she's hot!!

I'll find one when I'm at home

OMG, CRAIG ALEXANDER, TOTALLY HOT and got that quiet confidence going on.  And we have the same bike (mine is red though . . . and not used very much )  He needs an aero helmet though.  Lance for a cyclst or Alberto Contador is pretty awesome --- love the way he "dances" on the peddles going up the mountains!!!

Miranda Carfrae is pretty awesome and a marvelous runner!!!

You run in the shoes of your sponsor whether they're your top preference or not.  Most shoe companies (K Swiss included) have a pretty wide range of shoes to choose from and look for athlete input with regard to the development of new products.  That being said, sometimes athletes jsut have to make it work (there are several stories about Michielle Jones and Crowie filing the lugs off of their Newtons).

Yep the pay you to wear their stuff.  Don't sign the sponsorship deal if you don't like the gear or just deal.

WOW, thats pretty funny.  I have heard newtons are a hard shoe to get used to though . . . AND PRICEY

kelly has a Cav fetish.  she makes shaun wear a Cav bodysuit most days. 

biking is a total bore to watch.  as is swimming, running, and triathlon.  They are fun to do, except  biking, hate the bike.  its what separates a nice swim from a great run. 

i would happily be the clydesdale filling in a Rinnie-Loki sandwich. 

Rinnie is a real talent, Loki will have a great modeiling career.  I still have a thing for Sma Mcglone, something about those canadian redheads.

(BTW, i beat Rinnie in warm ups in Rev3, she didnt know we were racing but WINNER!)
