Chicago Tri....may have seen it all now

First was a herd of Purple Menace members all excited about a box of Hostess Cupcakes post race (sprint)…then there was the woman at the awards ceremony waiting on her prize (she did place)…smoking a Camel to pass the time.

I saw a women in the sprint race talking on her cell phone while on Lake Shore Drive.

… a slow newsday is it?

…smoking a Camel to pass the time

OMG! I don’t smoke, but as a joke I’ve actually thought about buying a pack of cigarettes and carrying it with me at IMMoo…smacking the pack in my hands every once in a while, or taking one out and asking the guy next to me on the run if he has a light. That would be freaking hilarious! Or putting one in your mouth just as you cross the finish line - THAT would be an awesome finishers photo! “Man SMOKES while competing in an Ironman!”

so now you are making fun of fat people and smokers? Elitist a hole! I learned in the other thread that it is not ok to even notice that some people are larger than others and now you go and post this?

Smokers are people too. It is a great thing that they are able to participate and there is no reason you should take offense to them. You do not understand how hard it is to quit smoking. You do not have all of the facts. There are many reasons why these people can’t “just stop” and even suggesting that they do is further proof that you are an elitist! If you were a true triathlete and or a good person you would spend less time noticing others shortcomings and more time focused on what you are doing. Repent pink boy!

THIS POST CONTAINS SARCASTIC COMMENTS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS A SERIOUS ATTEMPT TO DEFEND SMOKERS OR INSULT CHIP

I occassionally wear an old ‘Winston’ t-shirt while waming up at TT races. I’ve had more than a few people do a double take looking at my shirt.

and where did you ever get the idea that Chip was a good person?

:slight_smile:

There was a hybrid type comfort bike in the first rack when you entered the transition area comming from navy pier that had a baby seat mounted on it. I thought it looked pretty cool.

I think that there is some space near Waco Texas that I could build a new fortress on…when I am king this whole PC thing is going out!!!

I wonder if the TNT folks were just salivating all morning knowing that there were Hostess products at the finish.

the owner of that bike could be the one I saw on her cell phone. It was a hybrid with a baby seat.

I saw her too. The little bit of college slob left in me considered bumming one off of her :wink:

My most interesting sight was half way through the swim when I decided I had a bum draft. Why isn’t he kicking more?? Quick look up - oh yea, there’s only so much kicking one can do with one leg. The PC athletes in the EAG wave were awesome, many kicked my butt in the water.

Met a lady years ago after the nyc marathon who told me that she “stopped in queens to smoke a fag”. Once I figured out that she was using english slang for a cigarette it only bothered me because she beat me by ten minutes. But then I was fatter then, is that a good excuse?

I would highly recommend to keep the tone civil here. We can say what we mean without insults.

I was being entirely sarcastic, guess that I should have used a few :wink: to make that clear to all. I have a feeling that chip did not think that I was serious or would have cared much if I was.

I would just prank call you and offer phone sex.

How is your immoo finish line project going? I read my post again and really do not see how it could possibly be taken seriously…

With all the crazy stuff you post about and the random things that seem to happen to you,
I sincerely doubt that you have seen it all now. I hope not, anyway.

Hillary is wearing off on you - evacuate your state!!!

Don’t you live in the land of Obama? heard that he smokes too…are you sure it wan’t him that you saw this weekend?

During the run there was a girl talking to her friend running next to her when I heard her say " Hold on let me call her", she whipped out her cell phone and called another friend.
