- promotion? or self promotion? you admire it or are offended by it?
- the audacity of the effort? or the outlandishness of the effort?
- the laudable fundraising goal? or your pretext of it?
if this is a "what doesn't belong as part of this group" riddle, does ashley horner somehow belong with iron cowboy, lance armstrong, julie miller, or what? is there a receptor in you she strikes that gets struck by others (for better or worse) even if those others are thematically different?
The mysogynistic and sexist tones of some of the members...been called a white knight, guess I'll own it, because I'm used to the triathlon community always being open to new people.
I get the whole "respect my sport" bullshit. But at the end of the day, triathlon like god does the humbling. Other triathletes don't do any humbling because this is an individual hammering on your own body.
holy crap would you stop boohooing about somebody getting criticized go find somebody else to stand up for.
