Starky on TheRealStarky

This is pretty hilarious…

Also of note he seems to imply he would have gone 7:55 in Kona if he didn’t get sick. Man I love his interviews :slight_smile:

agreed. dude’s crazy. Love how he speculates Slowman…

Ooomph. Sooo it sounds like he is a big fan of his peers?

I guess it really makes you appreciate how charming/personable guys like Jesse Thomas, Matt Leito, Jordan, Heather Jackson, MBK, Brandon Marsh are… well just about anyone other than the Actual Real Starky.

But goddamn can the man ride a bike after swimming way faster than I could ever dream of.

Remember when Macca was considered the loudmouth?
.

Well that’s the thing. It doesn’t seem like Starky really WANTS to talk. Someone just shoved a mic in his face.

He could be the sweetest guy in the world. Macca was great to my wife and me when we met him at Wildflower a few years ago. I didn’t get the sense the Stark-Man was playing any games. Just seems bitter being the butt of a joke instead of flipping it and making it work for him.

This is pretty hilarious…

He’s still faster then 99.9% of the people on ST. Say what you want about his PR skills, he will shut pretty much everyone up in a race. Whether he goes 7:55 or 8:55, he’s faster then pretty much all of us on our absolute best day.

I like that guy. He speaks his mind, he’s not doing anything overly offensive just saying what he feels. If I were his sponsors I would be pretty pleased. Think about it, not only is he winning races, but he keeps people looking at him and talking about him. Keep it coming! Most of the interviews are too bland in this sport.

For whatever reason, the way he looked and his voice reminded me of this guy:

Is that Jaime gumb?

And I’d be interested in who on ST is faster than starkster? (99.9%)??

After watching that video I know now how Starky can win at Kona, and why his run is a (relatively speaking) problem. In the swim he has a cap on. On the bike he has the helmet. As soon as he sets foot out of T2 those enormous air brakes start catching the cross winds, like a great big dutch windmill. That’s why he keeps his arms so low, he is trying to lower his centre of gravity to stablize against the turbulence. Wear a beenie on the run or borrow Faris’ headband and Kona is yours.

“I think we all have a little bit of The Real Starky in us…”

I love this guy. Both of him.

Stadler used to post here, and he used to be faster.
Boardman posts here sometimes, he is faster at cycling.

so we have 2 faster, whats the number of posters here on ST.

“We all have a bit of realstarky in all of us”…lol brilliant.

Pretty sure Wild Bill’s voice was MUCH deeper than Starky.

I found nothing wrong with that interview. In fact, he’s dead on. More personality. I’m glad Dibens is back. I liked the Rinny and Dibens posts/tweets/videos.

I still think Eganski is the realstarky.

Compared to the usual triathlon personalities - he’s off the wall crazy.

He is part of what the sport needs to be mainstream.

This is pretty hilarious…

Ok, I thought you were joking, and then…

To paraphrase Mojo Nixon…“Even Michael J. Fox has a little Starky in him”

Theres a whole bunch of people on ST who can run faster than Starky!

Do we count lurkers? Because Macca and Lance lurk.
They may even post, secretly.
