Expert 1121 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: Chicago Mayor is a SLOW triathlete Very strange article indeed. Not sure what the point is other than to bash the Mayor for, well, something? Odd. Maybe the writer of the article can't complete a sprint triathlon and has a great deal of hostility and anger towards those who can? |

The author, BTW, is a triathlete who has done Olympic distance tris for some time, including a respectable 2:28:00 in his 40s. I'm pretty sure this links to his results from a couple of years ago: http://athlinks.com/result/159699/218926/79028437/101793691 |

I can only speculate the author is jealous somebody slower gets fanfare. I say good for Emanuel, proud of him. Most people are afraid to even try one. To finish in the 1:30s you need to be fit and do some training. I give his achievements all the props in the world and dont see the need to try and downplay it by saying if he competed in a more competitive field he wouldnt do as well overall. That can be said of anybody including elites and pro athletes. FYI I live in IL and question his morals. Great he is active and getting the sport some press..... BUT I remember back during the presidential election he wouldnt answer phone calls from the Cubs owner about renovating Wrigley field because the Cubs owners brother was campaigning against Obama..... Dont know just thought that was childish. |

Is that time not respectable? If not, I've learned a lot in this thread. |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: Chicago Mayor is a SLOW triathlete Originally posted by RZ0 Totally respectable. Not fast. That's a competitive age group. Fast for that AG around here is 2:15 or lower, and I live in BFE Iowa :)Originally posted by switch Is that time not respectable?If not, I've learned a lot in this thread.Originally posted by Left Brain LMFAO.Originally posted by RZ0 Originally posted by sbsmann Very strange article indeed.

Pro 15655 | Subject: RE: Chicago Mayor is a SLOW triathlete The last Oly we went to was won by a 48 year old......2:01:XX. Sure 2:30 is respectable.....hell, finishing is respectable if that's what we are talking about. But we're talking about fast, because the author said the Mayor wasn't fast....and he's right. Likewise, the author's 2:28 Oly is not fast for a 40 something man.....not even close. |
