After his last DNF, Simon the Great turned to Slowtwitch for support and guidance. After reading the different threads about his racing, he decided to call it quits.
“The Slowtwitcher are among the most educated and knowledgeable triathletes. My only goal in life is and has always been to win in Hawaii. If they don’t think I can do it, why bother trying?” said Lessing.
Where is this documented? Have you a link?
My source is the ASP: Agence Slowtwitch-Presse.
Tell him to reconsider, Francois can get him a Kona spot.
It’s good to know that a know-nothing like Lessing has finally come to his senses and realized that WE are the ONLY tri-geeks who know ANYTHING about triathlon.
Big Head Tony
You forgot arrogant.
Reid also announced is retirement in the middle of Australian Ironman a few years ago after a DNF. He took sometime off, and he’s back on the top! So let him get back home and have a few days/weeks off and we will see…
It is good to know that a loser like Lessing knows to listen to the wise sages at Slowtwitch. He is obviously washed up. I do admit he somehow managed to win our two head to head encounters last year when he set course records, but that is another thing entirely.
I asked a Kona slot for Simon, but they said no. They told me they’d gladly give me a slot, but Simon has to prove something in this sport first…haha.

So…you’re going to be the human interest segment this year? 
yeah, I am wondering if I should put on 100lbs before the race or if being French is enough of a handicap already

I frown upon the french comment >:(
I even have the unibrow to do it 
I think he’ll reconsider what he said in a few days if you ask me, he’s not washed up or anything.
you mean you can raise one eyebrow only like the Rock? cool…
I can say whatever I want about the French, without ever being not PC…passport privilege 
Doesn’t mean I mean it.
he didn’t announce retirement…it’s a joke.
okay, just so rumors don’t start flying. i get the feeling that at least a couple people in this thread don’t get it. THE INITIAL POST WAS A JOKE. tongue in cheek. there was no announcement. this can happen on days other than april 1. get it?
hehe, man I was only kidding, i know you could say anything about the french, i just like to bust peoples balls like that.
now you just ruined it.
But Peter Reid did announce his retirement (lame attempt at starting the joke back)
All he needs to do is change his seat height. It’s too (low/high, insert your favorite here).
well don’t I feel great… way to make me feel good about myself. i think i’ll run untill i die now kthx.
