heard through the grapevine in Brazil…for 2006, there will be an Ironman in China…not sure when and where, but it will be announced shortly.
Anyone up for a swim with 10,000,000 chinese in the Yang Tse Kiang?
Forget the swim, have you seen those f***ers riding a bike?
Truly terrifying…
You gave me the biggest laugh of the day! Thanks!
The stuff at the aid stations should be interesting… I wouldn’t mind doing it, I miss China… NOT!
The stuff at the aid stations should be interesting…
Yeah, but you’ll just be hungry again by the time you get to the next aid station…kj
Now that, was funny!
yep…freakin tough when they give you a bowl of rice, with chopsticks while you’re running
.
it’s nice to see that there are still prejudice f**ks out there…i was beginning to wonder where they all went to…little did i know that they were posters on this forum!
you guys all know that there are a few asians who frequently post and lurk on this forum…why piss them (us) all off with your grade school comments?
man…you don’t notice when people joke??
my wife is half vietnamese by the way…if I want to make jokes about asians I can 
How does joking about chinese food = prejudice? Life is too short to get your panties in a bunch over this silly stuff. I’m irish, if it were IM Ireland I would have made a crack about having whiskey instead of gatorade. Lighten up, being uptight is proven to be bad for your health…kj
Chill dude - the only thing these guys are guilty of is resorting to national stereotypes. No real harm in that - Francois gets told to have a shower all the time, and I’m sure gets called a frog quite often. I’m from South Africa and people assume I must be rascist.
Once, when I was in Florida, some guy asked where I was from I said South Africa and he replied, “You can’t be, you’re not black.”
Hell…I’m chi-talian (chinese/italian) and I got a good laugh out of this thread. I’ve read enough posts from these guys to know it’s all done out of love…mmmm…I have a sudden craving for some dumplings… 
The Other TD
I’m chinese as well, well half chinese, Francois was only making a joke, I had a good laugh too. But when those F**kers make fun of my bike’s ethnicity that’s another story!
I appreciate and empathize Red Dragon’s defense. I’m sure Francois was only teasing.
Francois, as a Vietnamese guy, I must say your wife must be gorgeous! My older brother’s fiance is 1/2 Korean and 1/2 Irish and I’m expecting his children to be beautiful.
Damn… I could really go for dim sum @ the aid stations - especially on the bike! I might just end up doing laps until they closed the bike course down…
I’m chinese (NOT FROM CHINA THOUGH)…and I found the jokes pretty funny…hhehehee…
Although I get REALLY FULL from eating chinese food…I think you guys don’t eat ENOUGH!! hehehe
Now…dim sum on the run course sounds pretty darn awesome to me…
Heard from a woman at the IronMan China run course…
“was that a Gu or was that Cream of Sum Yung Gy?”
I know…bad one
As long as they don’t “whitey it up” too much, I’m down with dim sum on both the bike & run! I can totally see myself grabbing little cups of tea as I shuffle by @ 12min/mile pace…
forget the dim sum if Paulo is watching… 
How about Ironman Portugal, with fish at every aid station, Ironman Germany, only on beer and sauerkraut, Ironman France, wine and cigarettes, IM UK with beens on toast, IM Holland with rollmops, IM Japan with sushis (this one I may sign up for it), IM Russia with caviar and vodka (at least the $400 entry fees would be worth it)
my wife is half vietnamese by the way…if I want to make jokes about asians I can
That’s a pretty ignorant statement…
