I don’t mean to start another debate about the writing of Scott Tinley as we’ve recently done that plenty here: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=2187174#2187174
I just want to provide a link to a piece of his: http://www.scotttinley.com/writtenword.htm
I found the essay fascinating on several levels. While I’m guessing that it won’t suit the tastes of some, I nevertheless assert that it should be required reading for any Ironman fans or participants. Sorry if this was linked or discussed earlier.
Confession: if you followed my posts in that earlier thread, I was not previously a big a fan of Scott’s writing. I still find his style challenging, but the power, soul, and truth of his writing, wow. By the way, the funniest thing about that thread is that Scott himself posted (what a gentleman) and then, seemingly unaware that he had entered the room, some continued the debate about him, while some of his old friends entered to say hello. Neat.
