Sprinting for a TDF stage win is a bit different than running in for a 1:39 half run leg, isn't it? Good grief.

That's Greg Lemond winning the world championship road race, not the TDF.

Triathletes....

I wonder if I'd beat you in a race too.

WOW! simply WOW!

What is this race? Disneyland Triathlon? Is the 'Tough' in Toughman supposed to be ironic?

I think what these photos illustrate and what the RD has gotten across is that this is not a "race". If you're after a race, look elsewhere.

The name of this non-race is a bit of a farce as well. There's nothing "tough" about it save for the potential for gladiatorial combat in the middle of your photo-session mid-"race".

Two posts above the one I quoted.

You know, the one with the big picture of LeMond winning the worlds.

Back to the point of the thread, I see you have your elbow cocked to take out the girl in the orange.

He's also boxing out that bitch with the jog stroller. No f'ing around here - it's almost GO TIME.

I gotcha now. I hadn't made it that far into the thread yet.

Well done, well done. :D

This whole conversation and the willingness (word?) of the masses to jump to conclusions based on a snapshot in time, in lieu of the full evidence, puts me in mind of an Oasis music video. Or is it just an excuse to check out a good music video. Ok, well, a music video, then. Ok, well a video, at least. Sorry for throwing Liam Gallagher into the mix.

Why? Going flat out is going flat out?

That's the wonder of our sports. An elite, a sub-elite and a mid-packer all have in common that they pushed themselves to the limit. Doesn't matter if you're doing 4:30 miles or 7:30s. Pain is pain.

This is the only time I've ever wanted to read a post by Devashish Paul, and of course he disappoints. How a tech executive with a master's in electrical engineering and a mba can't figure out YouTube boggles the mind. I've put up with his dopey opinions on every imaginable topic since I joined this forum and the one time he has something to offer that I'm actually interested in, he can't figure out his darn fancy computer.

Brilliant. The only other win would be him pushing the Gorilla out of the way, thus completely ruining kdw's domination.

Out of all the alternatives, and from all the possible outcomes, the only thing we can be certain of in this whole affair, is that devashish-paul has not a single friend in the entire world. Can somebody please google this guy back to his birth and dig up some old acquantance? Anyone. Even his nanny from childhood will do /PINK

Dev and his friends (myself included) are enjoying watching the video over and over whilst you pikers keep begging for it. It's a win-win for us.

So, which video do you think will have the most societal impact?
The Zapruder, or the Blair Bitch Project?

just checking in.....still no video??

damn it!

The last time I was waiting in anticipation this much for an online video was in 1998 when my buddy kept promising to forward me a link to the Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee sex tape.

that's a tough call...but what I can tell you is, I can't believe all the ST Nazi's ragging on a 1:39 half ironman run. Blair's donkey-punch would be nothing compared to being beefcaked (intentionally or not) when I'm at that speed. Think Terry Tate...office linebacker.
