Tibbo, I know it's not my business, but, fredly has been working on this coaching angle for quite a while. It's been a leap of faith for him in many ways, at least, it seems that way to me. Having this bike go to a bonafide coach of a bonafide junior's team could give you a boner...I mean a bonafide warm feeling that that could last longer than a 17 year-old that robbed the local pharmacy of all it's Viagra/Cialis. (Side note, the marketeers really came up with a good name for this drug, Cialis. It's pronounced "see alice", as in: Go "see Alice" for a good time.)

If it's back on the block, I think technically it belongs to Jenny.

"Used to have a little now I got a lot
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block."

There was a wealthy entrepreneur that used to post here named JoeMWiley whoe gave away a Forerunner 201 to whoever could come up with the best training mantra in some limited number of words. He's dead now.

Whoa. Those Forerunners must carry some ancient curse- try to give one away for free, and WHAMMO!- you drop dead, never to be heard from again, still clutching the 201 in your cold, dead fingers.

Bump you bitches bump!

One thing real quick. I will be taking size into account. The frame is large so the Giant rules say 5'10 to 6'2. Please update your posts with hieghts.

6’ have a 10 year old Huffy MTB, never been athletic 30 minute walk was my kind of exercise. Weight yo-yoed 4 times in past 4yrs between 240-190. With 3 kids under 8 I have to due something. I have told everyone I know I will do a sprint tri this fall.

2 promises:

I live 30 minutes from Bikesport so Tom will fit the bike.

If folks are interested I will post at least weekly on my Trials and tribulations / Progress preparing for the triathlon. If people are interested I’ll start the thread without the bike.

Tibbs, as you probably know, I don't need your bike, but I think if you are insisting that the person who gets in stays in the family, then we should all get to vote (1 each) on the winning entry.

Throw it open to the peaceful tribe mate and good things will happen.

Every one continue post for the bike. On the 19th of January voting will start at 0930 and end at 2130. The votes will be added up and the winner will be happy.

I will post a new thread for the voting and only votes on that thread count.

Since the orginal owner finds somethings very important, it staying in the family for example, I have the right to veto a vote.

I say go with the kids team. We could also put together a TSR adopt a kids team and make this bigger than 1 bike.

Dave

You are forgetting most of us have problems with long term commitments.

I vote for DavHamm.

So far I'd toss my vote over to Fredly, it sounds like that thing will get tons of abuse.

People wait for the voting thread.

Ditto. DavHamm gets my vote.

Can I say something about this sport of ours? Tonight at the pool I bumped into this very fine athlete here in NZ, Rob Dallimore. He is an excellent triathlete. I kind of know him through some mates...anyway, he comes up and talks to me, asks me how I did in my recent two half ironmans. So I tell him, and he asks a couple more questions, so we chat about my racing a bit more. Then I ask him about his effort at Tauranga a week ago, and he says, 'oh, I did about 4:30, 2nd loser in my agegroup(ie third!)', and I congratulate him and go off to swim.
But this keeps happening to me - it's happened recently with Jo Lawn, and Steve Nicholls, top athletes both, who are more interested in MY race than anything else when we chat. And believe me, I have a lot to be modest about in this sport! I mean, I love it, with all my heart, but those guys/girls are way better than me...but they are genuinely interested in how I am going - and I can't think of another sport where the bottom 20% gets respect from the top 5%.
It leaves me feeling truly humble.

per ardua ad astra

la cucaracha, la cucaracha, ya no puede caminar, por que le falta por que no tiene mariguana pa fumar. Ya murio la cucaracha, Ya la llevan a enterrar, Entre cuatro zopilotes Y un raton de sacristan. Now let's consider the social implications of this well-known latin song in which a cockroache is said to be leg-less and can't travel because it hasn't got a class B drug - mary jane - to use. Who the hell penned this masterpiece that children for generations have sung without really knowing what they're saying? I say it is THE allegory of our times.....
