For some obscure reason, I decided to click on my own username, and discovered, to my surprise, that as of May 9, I will have been on ST for 1 year. Wow, it seems like much longer :). Anyway, I thought I would celebrate with some interesting things I have learned during the past year (in no particular order):
1. My seat is, more than likely, too high (natch).
2. Never, ever, for any reason whatsoever, shave your ass.
3. Wearing a full team kit is inexplicably extremely annoying to many individuals.
4. ST is a great way to actually meet some very cool people (rroof, kittycat, occy, mmakbenton, a1b, etc, etc; my sincere apologies for leaving anyone out)....
5. Tubulars rock, and have a lower rolling resistance than clinchers.
6. Tubulars suck, and clinchers actually have a lower rolling resistance.
7. Estee is one cute golden retriever.
8. There are hearts of gold here on ST...witness the folks that came up with the idea to help Maurice in Canada...our finest hour, I think...
9. There are some very strong opinions over in the LR.
10. You will never change someone's opinion in the LR, even with what you might think is the most sagely written post of all time.
11. One can view scantily clad females on the Hottie Thread on networks that would otherwise screen out such things (or so I've heard...).
12. Cervelos are the best bicycles ever to grace the face of the earth.
13. Cervelos are overrated.
14. Tyler Hamilton cheated, no wait, maybe he didn't, oh wait, yes he did, ummmm...let me think about this...
15. ST'ers can be extremely supportive of one's endeavors...especially when one falls short (like DNFing my first IM attempt).
16. Never, ever, ask for a "position check" on your bike unless the background of said photo shows an immaculate living space.
17. One can barf and shit all over themselves in a Golden Corral restroom and live to tell about it (my vote for funniest post ever).
18. Judging from the number of posts, triathlon is all about the bike.
19. If you don't put "spoiler" in the title of your post, and you post race results, some people will get very angry with you...
And last, but certainly not least...
Number 20, I really think my seat is too high.
Almost forgot...
#21. Curacao looks like one cool place to have a wedding.
