maybe we should dump the AG system and use a more a system which more closely aligns athletes, a lifestyle grouping system. we could create the following groups:
The unemployed
college kids
coaches
Full time desk job suckers
50% work travel warriors
About to get divorced if I train any more
divorced
under 150lbs
over 200 lbs
retired
I'm only doing this one single IM so I can tell get the tattoo
no T isn't a PED, I have a doctors prescription!
over $10K bike club
Can we add a sub-category of "I should do this long run but it seems kind of hot out'. I mean, it really is not fair that I have to race against people who will go out and run when it is hot and muggy out instead of sitting in the chair drinking a cocktail..
With all these categories, can I add one for road bikes so I don't have to get used to aero bars?
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
