I was handy on a bike. But as you know the ex was better than me. Not out here. But would prefer to not be as my comments could affect my ex.

Well, those few sentences just confirmed my "outing" of you to me.

Yep, your ex would have 'chicked' you, maybe even on the bike too, over 40km or 180 km.

but the shorter the distance, the harder that would have been!

be cool, boys and girls, or i'm going to lock the thread. we're all family here.

Callum is an elite triathlete. Not a professional triathlete.

Oh now I know who we're talking with ;)

Thanks.

Yes, I've often Felt that is the way to go ;)

Being a professional "Something" isn't a matter of opinion. He makes a living off of triathlon. He is a pro.

Ya'll mthrfckers need Jesus

Thanks.

Look my point is, it’s the world championships. Every pro that starts should be trying to win. Worst case top 10.

Callum, Luke McKenzie etc... were just making up the numbers.

McKenzie for example should have saved himself, and raced to win IMAZ in the next few weeks which he is entirely capable of.

Callum isn’t capable of winning a major Ironman. Sure, one of the 140 ironman 70.3 events, but not a real Ironman.

are you out here, PJC? because, i know who you are, but if others don't then i don't want to blow your anonymity. just, you and i have known each other a long time, you know my background and i know yours. (if folks here knew who you were they would know you're not just an internet troll or, if you are, you're a troll with some pretty good background and history in triathlon).

we're both well aware of what is elite and what is pro and what is not. i just come down in a different place than you do on this. only 50ish men in the world qualify for kona. it's hard. if you qualify, then you should go if you want to go. if that's your ambition. if 50th shouldn't be here, then standing down so that 51st can come isn't an improvement. by definition you're better than he is, or he'd have been 50th.

cam had a really good last couple of years. he absolutely deserves to be here. and, i don't know any of the particulars of the incident but ironman is hard enough without getting hazed or stalked when you've bonked and you're into the shuffle.

Even if everything you say here is true - and I do not think much of it is - it still does not justify anyone, but especially a triathlon coach, abusing Callum while he is racing. It has no place in our sport.

I think everyone should consult ST before they do anything.

Damn. I got so excited when she replied to one of my inst posts. Even showed my wife and giggled like a school girl. You crushed me dude. Crushed !
