I've gotta slop at a healthier life. Because you exercise and have a lack of symptoms doesn't make you healthy. In reality the more we train the more we add stress to our joints, hense causing us to breakdown tissue faster. I would agree if it was a jog in the park but, this sport has nothing to do with easy. As well as all the synthetic crap we eat and drink to do it! That alone causes nutritional deficiencies.

I agree, they should race just with like! Olympians with Olympians?

Your point is made. Now, accept the fact that virtually everyone else disagrees with you.

As you were.

Really, (as you were) do you think you look good being dis-respectful. I guess we should all keeps our eyes closed to anything that can be different or anothers question or opinion? Man, have I been practicing self control today!

Travis i am looking forword to getting my ass kicked in Burlington. If any expros happen to be there it will even be better. It will even be better if i pass them but they will have to get into a horrific accident or flat three times for that to happpen. And i dont want that to happpen.

Please let loose on the well maintained self control. And while you're bemoaning the fact that everyone disagrees with you on ST here are a couple other options for you to try to find someone to agree with you.

I don't get how someone can want to artifically inflate their results by somehow excluding anyone else who they think is to fast for them. I've been at local "championship" races where all the top competition didn't show up and I definitely didn't feel as good about where I placed. You race whoever shows up but you still want the best competition out there you can get. If you don't you're just cheating yourself.

Who the hell thinks its unfair for a mid 40's ex pro to be racing AG at an elite level national event? If you've qualified to race nationals, which is embarrassingly easy to do, you should expect to be racing the best in the country. When you are mid 40's you aren't racing competitively at the pro level anymore. If you have to whine, bitch and complain that you feel your competition is too tough at nationals because some of them once held a pro card then you are the problem with the sport. Are you going to bitch when Drew Scott wins Hyvee as an amateur and say he's too fast and should have taken his pro card? When Michael Lovato retires and continues racing AG you're probably going to be whining the he has to go off in his own separate wave since he once raced pro? There are a lot of bitchy posts on ST but this has to be one of the most pathetic.

Did he really say that :0)

I often give advice whenracing/ training with people (mostly when asked first.) who then end up beating me. I am happy for them and try harder next the time.

Glad you've given up on all that crazy stuff you were saying about ex pros not being able to race AG.

Funny, was that Nationals? That's what happens when someone stops pedaling up a hill and the Marshal is next to you! LOL. @BMAnnersI guess you've had that happen too!

I think the original troll was a 4/10. However, the single minded obtuseness you have displayed merits a bump to 7/10.

Proceed.

Ex pros, of any level should be allowed to race AG. And all AGs should think it's really really cool to race against them.
If you don't think so, you're in the sport for the wrong reasons. You don't love the sport, you love getting ridiculous hardware,
given to various AG categories, that are arbitrary. Frankly, it's laughable.

I used to play tennis very competitively and played a tournament last year again. If Boris Becker had signed up, I would have been
very happy.

If you want hardware, just gain weight and race clydesdale. But they'll complain! Hey that guy used to be skinny and now he isn't! What gives???
(or athena if you're a chick...)

Dude, I'm a triathlete. Give up? What races are you doing this year? I bet being an Elite athlete you may not like the idea surrounding my original question?

#1: drohc please explain this group of statements. Once again I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
#2: Given that drohc may not be able to explain them himself can anyone else explain them to me.
#3: Your reading comprehension sucks, as you've proven repeatedly, given that you could apparently not read my previous response regarding my racing status and wrote the above last sentance.

So, let's stir the pot a little more;

Choice A~ Make a separate category for Ex-Pros/Olympians and Elite class athletes.
Under 40 Elite AG
Over 40 Elite AG
Still take off at their AG times so you can still race with your HERO?

Choice B~ Unite all AG and race as one free for all!

Choice C~ Keep it the same and close our eyes?

What say you? Come on A, B or C

Remember, I know you all want a piece of me for asking, it's not personal, just a question.
