As is the case every year, let’s keep on with tradition.
Let the shit talking begin
I’m only a SC’er so I can’t say much except that I will do more ICB’s than any other ST’er! At least 1 during the race and another every time Murphy’s Law and Tetsuoni come thru the gazebo, 6 (3x each for second run) plus another with each of them after they finish, 2. Thats 9 ICB’s so far. Guess I’m not driving home
My goal in the LC race is to run like hell on the first two run laps after the bike to frustrate the hell out of Murphy’s Law, as he should lap me easily somewhere on the run.
This will cause him a mental melt down. He won’t feel like drinking beer afterwards, therefore guarenteeing me a glass or two when I eventually finish.
God, I even amaze myself with my stratergies sometimes.
Parkito, I still can’t figger that sh!t out. But if it works for you…
I like the ICB plan here. Nothing is Impossible!!! ™
You do realize each one is a pint and 2 shots, right? Just sayin’.
I plan on crushing dreams early and often. While I do concede that the Pros (and in Justin’s case - soon to be Pros) will likely all be in another zip code, unless Casey W. or one of his stupid-fast PA ilk show up this year, I will crush every AG’ers dreams - tetsuoni and TriBriGuy most especially.
Hopefully they finish high enough in their AG’s to have a Big Honkin’ Stein of beer to cry in. If not, I will lend them one of mine.
I’m comin’ for ya, ML. I’m looking to make it an NY sweep this year.
Pray for rain. Its the only chance you’ve got.
BTW…I highly recommend you wear NEW shoes to AmZof. I hear that works well.
I will be doing the tri_yoda version of an ICB and that would be 2/3 to 3/4 of a pint with 1 shot.
I wonder how an ICB tastes acting as a chaser to a GU?
doesn’t matter, b/c ICB is fuel to make me run faster. only person ahead of me will be Mike Halstead and me thinks he should be moving up to middle distance, sc is too easy for him.
Why? Are you going to melt or something? I don’t need rain, I got hills. And plenty of 'em.
As for shoes, I’ll wear the same pair I used for CRUSHING DREAMS at the last 2 AmZofs. Figger once they’ve gone around the course again for a 3rd consecutive money finish, I’ll put them out to stud.
i’m trying to debate whether to crush dreams or enjoy the weekend. the former would be accomplished by merely being the right zipcode, thus leading to an at least 50/50 chance that ML will DNF. the second would be accomplished by just showing up and riding/running at the kind of pace you could expect from a dough boy who hasn’t ridden or run for nearly a month, and might only get his bike rebuilt days before the event. i mean, its a nice ride and a pretty nice run.
hmm, that means showing up wins, and i’m not sure i’m even willing to commit to that yet. still, if jeff “mr duathlon” timms is going to show up just to volunteer, maybe that’s an option too.
Suffice to say…I’m comin’…an’ I ain’t comin’ fer the leaf peepin’ this year.
You drink 18 shots and 9 beers and I will be concerned. I will also be racing short course. I may drink a beer in t2 but think that will really just make the run kinda suck. Certainly drink some after, more if Yoda is driving. Pouring whiskey in beer really just makes the whole thing taste like crap.
FWIW I have never been all that impressed with the drinking ability of any STers I have hung out with. Guess we are mostly kinda grown up now. Well, except for maybe the Thursday night before LP that R10C and I got hammered a few years ago but that was when he was off his meds. But then the heavy drinking guys I know are slower than crap;-)
My AmZof-Fu is stronger than your ML DNF-Fu. Ten times stronger!! You want to fight? Fight me!

Roger that. Truman’s Alternative Nightclub is anxiously awaiting your arrival to the area. Did you make your reseverations yet?

Yeah, i can picture it but i think this is the scene where the hero (me) stands around and does *nada *while the villain (you) goes wild with crazy action and all that shit, only to find that he has been outfoxed again, and a simple wave of the hand from our passive hero dispatches the energy-speed crazed demon to eternal damnation 
Seriously, after that crash and the broken bike, there’s absolutely no way in hell I am going to race LC. It might still be nice to come up and ride/run given the scenery and the good people there. John should add the “fun” category for people who “just want to enjoy it” As the NYTriLife club says “it doesn’t have to be fun to be fun”.
whiskey + baileys + guiness or something of the sort = chocolatey deliciousness
.
SC is the fun category. Man up. I haven’t ridden my bike in over a month and I still plan on not only showing up, but riding with fins on a la finman
I’m in for the SC 'cause I heard there’s free beer

The SC record is going down. You heard it here first. Sub 31 first run to start…other stuff involving varying degrees of crushing…adoration from all the ladies in the pavilion.
Pick up line for the day while I watch the poor LCers suffer: It’s not about the length, but the quality. Ladies…

Sadly, you’ll be able to provide neither. Get used to hearing this one “that’s ok, Dave - it happens to all the guys on occasion.”
“Truman’s Alternative Nightclub is anxiously awaiting your arrival to the area.”
Well…I was kinda hoping that swingers’ convention would be going on again this year…
Of course I hear there’s all sorts of weirdness to get in trouble with in New Paltz…
None of which will change the fact that I’m layin the smacketh down on you… Don’t worry, I’ll save you a beer when you come shuffling in…
I will be doing the tri_yoda version of an ICB and that would be 2/3 to 3/4 of a pint with 1 shot.
I used a full Guiness draft can, so that is pretty much a full pint (or 9/10 of a pint) and then 1 shot total (1/2 Jameson and 1/2 Bailey’s).
I will throw down the gauntlet that I will do 2 ICBs, one in T2, one after my first lap of the 10 mile run, and then I will chug a beer immediately before I cross the finish line.
How do you like them apples?
Hope your dad comes along to try and help you pick up girls again like at Du Nats
