If they're any good, this could quickly spin out of control...

I saw that

Peter Kotland is another that has been around forever. Mike Schifferle is another. Not sure what their amateur status was. Ray Bothelo (US athlete) has been around forever and has flapped from amatuer to pro, back to amatuer, back up to pro, and once more cycle of that recently. I believe he is racing pro next year in his mid forties.

We can always count on you to be direct.

And if Dan bans you for any of this, I'll ask to have your sentence commutated.

How about Amy Bevilacqua? At 44 years old, she races St. Anthony's Tri as an amateur then races NYC Tri....taking SECOND as a pro. I don't know much about her racing history, but I was blown away by that NYC performance.

You know, I alternate on these things. Sometimes its a positive, but other times can be a negative.
