No, after Ironman AZ, I'm going to stick to shorter distances and get big and ripped again. Maybe even get back into competitive shooting.

Since lifting again, my waist has continued to shrink despite putting on 7 lbs. This is after trying 3 years without weights and diet. Just couldn't get below 210. If I cut too many calories, I would suffer performance and headaches. Besides, having the body of a greek god, the brutal honesty and bold ideas I have will be much more marketable.

One idea I've been floating in my head is a Trans Anglo consortium. Sort of like a preferred trade agreement for countries with British Colonial roots. This would be Britain, the US, Canada and Australia obviously. But Singapore would be welcome as well. When in grad school I wrote a thesis on corporate governance, and I found that nearly every country with roots in British Colonialism have similar business and legal practices. For instance, accounting standards are not based on statutes, but professional judgment.

So despite minor cultural differences, these countries share a common bond in business, legal, language and cultural practices. Could be an economic powerhouse that would make the EU look pathetic, and would only be matters of trade preference.
