Subject: Great Reader Letter in Triathlete Magazine

From the November issue of "Triathlete," a letter in the Mail Call column:

Sticky Revenge

To the douche bag that moved my T2 gear at the Vineman 70.3:  Did you think I wouldn't remember that I set up my stuff at the end of the rack?  Removing the duct tape with my name and number was a nice touch, too.  Clearly you paid a higher entry fee than everyone else, so you were entitled to whatever space you wanted.  It was a hoot playing, "Dude, where's my stuff?" when I got to the transition area.  I hope you had just as much fun getting the orange Gatorade out of your drive train and helmet.  Now that you know who I am, please say hi at the next race.  I'd love the opportunity to discuss it.

Classic!  I wonder if Chris posts on BT?

He was nicer than I would have been. That person's whole T area would have been in shambles. I would have tossed it, THEN doused it in whatever drink mix I had available. Or used it. Just some anger techniques I've picked up somewhere...

If ever anyone deserved the padlock on the rim, it was that jerk...

Oooh---that's a really good idea!

You don't have to get there first, just walk down to the swim after him.

Tried that at Racine.  That bastarrd watches me like a hawk.  Every time I went for the bodyglide (for his armrests) he busted me.  I had to pretend I was getting more bodyglide to put on myself.  By the time we got in the water I was so frictionless my wetsuit almost slipped off of me.

HangLo you crack me up.

That is an interesting article.  Glad Triathlete actually printed it.

Obviously, HL has never heard of the 'ol "Loosen the spokes on the back wheel, so that it only lasts 54 miles trick".   Oh yeah, that is a good one.
