Semi?!

You call this some sort of training camp?? Let me get this straight. First you take months off. Then you take a little spin up a climb crawling along in your 25 for less than an hour then coast down. Then you take the dog for a walk/jog. All by yourself. That’s it??? Jeeez. You’re bringing Epic Camp into disrepute by association! This is like saying you’d like to take an in-the-mood Pamela A to a deserted island for a week with nothing but a bit of coconut oil but instead you just fiddled with your daughter’s barbie for while. C’mon! Get off your lazy butt and do some work.

That’s huge.

This is classic smack. My training buddies must be taking lessons from Molina given all the flack they give me. Clearly, Molina is the master of smack. Nothing like beating up on a buddy when he is not feeling well !

Don’t worry Amigo. Dano is considering joining the Baron, KP, Sam D and I for a trip up Palomar on the 20th. We’ll get his points heading the in the right direction.

“You call this some sort of training camp??”

endeavor not, young epic man, to be the mileage snob. upon further reflection you might repent and send me a nice girly card with fringes and lace, maybe with a rose pressed in, thanking me.

the virtual semicamp is the camp designed to get you ready for the camp designed to get you ready for the epic camp. and, with all the money campers will save because of the virtual camp’s entry fee (free) they’ll be able to put their pennies in the bank and save up for their eventual epic adventures.

on the subject of saving, they get to do that not just because they don’t spend, but because they do earn, which means they’ve also got to compete in that fourth event: INDUSTRY! that 10 hours in the middle of the day is a real point killer.

jobs notwithstanding, we shall (to quote chief dan george) “endeavor to persevere.”

"(to quote chief dan george) “endeavor to persevere.” "

There aren’t nearly enough references to this film. During your camp, when looking for a source of strength on a long uphill pull, start a CDG rambling soliloquy from The Outlaw Josie Wales. If nothing else, it will scare the hell out of whomever you are passing.

“Semi” my roomate in college used this term and also 1/4 or 1/2 or 3/4 “Chubby”! When refering to…ahem…aw - you know! (wink-wink)

Well, if you are going to comitt to something and even put your comittment out there into the pulic domain to be the object of scrutiny then you’ll want to deliver the goods. Day 2 was better, 10 hour-a-day job nonwithstanding. If you’re gonna do a training camp; even a virtual one; then perhaps the launrdy can wait. Glued to this machine with baited breath for day 3…

“Glued to this machine with baited breath for day 3”

the pressure’s on. my publishing (mostly) done for the day, i embark on 2:30 worth of bike. this i’m not worried about. rather, it’s the swim tonight, since i’ve been in the water exactly zero times since october of last year (arm thingy from which i hope i’ve recovered).

but excuses won’t get it done, eh skid?

Don’t worry Amigo. Dano is considering joining the Baron, KP, Sam D and I for a trip up Palomar on the 20th. We’ll get his points heading the in the right direction.

Bike or run, or both?

“Bike or run, or both?”

certainly both. if i don’t show them the trails about palomar, they’ll get lost and cry for their mamas.

OK! we’re lookin’ for you to put some points up on the board here. Not lookin’ for Michael Jordan season-long average type points, maybe just come Divac points (on one of his good days). We’re all counting on you for some inspiration.

Just got back from my sisters wedding in Salt Lake City, so getting a late start on the semi. Got in about an hour and a half of running, banged my girlfriend (I mean, made love honey) 3 times, and jumped in the pool on the way home from the airport and did 5,000 yds swimming. I’ll try and do some catching up tomorrow…

Dude, this is a family show. Don’t wanna hear any of that x-rated stuff. Besides, do you have any idea how little the rest of us are gettin’? And if you think that crap qualifies for extra points just try running it by the committee (Dan). Unless it was on the plane you could’ve gotten in another work-out. We ain’t got no sympathy for those who choose to go boozin’ & shaggin. We’ll mop up the floor with guys like you.

ditto…

I remember a certain bet we had going on a few months back. Come on Dan, don’t let this old girl beat you again
