Hey Focus:

How's the Dow doing?

1. Can it go to zero?

2. Do we want to hang around to see it, or do you advise a blindfold ride down Garfoot or Timber?

And the Dow is now below 8,000. Things don't look so good. Well, maybe $1.98 a gallon but not my 401k.

You Know when Crude OlL ws screaming towards $147.00 and gas cost $80.00 to fill the mini van I remember saying ENOUGH already. I wasn't alone. Crude is now $54.00 pr brl.
Same feeling looks to be hitting the community fund slots that used to sellout quickly. However, now at $1300.00 looks like athletes are saying ENOUGH already as well.

Hey there, I hate to jump into this lively discussion with a triathlon related question, but I'm going to anyways...

Does anyone know of a good example of a website for a Tri Club that has national chapters? Are there any? I'm looking for ideas on how to organize the site.

Thanks!

Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness. Super Bowl, World Series - they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?

okay, thats creepy -

anyway if youre interested ive got a cannondale frame lying around - not sure if really a cross frame or MTB - 43cm ST ctc, 56cm sloping top tube - yours if you want it

needs m r der hanger thingy, bb, hdset, everything else - if you got lots of spare parts might be good

but, if you afford it, got a whole bike and don't wste time. the 44cm redline sounds okay, mayber a little high but local, or theres a 46cm surly on ebay closing soon-

Now that's more like it. The things I have to do get things moving.....

FYI - my neighbor is 80 and deaf, so he doesn't know when I have the stereo blasting. His daughters are still a little spacey from LSD in the 60's, and his son gets around by bike due to some alcohol issues. I seem pretty normal to him....

I was out last night on my back deck, which happens to overlook a beautiful harbor in Bermuda by the way, drinking some wine and reading by, you guessed it, candlelight.

I do that a lot but it's only because there are no lights out there.

In fact, I will probably do that for the next, oh, 300 nights in a row.

Henry look, the weirdo is at it again. All jacked up on some beer he makes in his basement sitting out there by himself. Can't afford electricity so he is out there reading by candlelight. Probably thinks he's Abe Linclon. His wife is so embaressed I saw her hiding out over at the park district earlier in the evening. I heard he even steals his musci the old fashion way, from the radio. It's not bad enough he spends all that time on his bike but this reading by yourself, all looped up is the final straw.

After doing the first Moo, my ultimate goal of Kona somehow seemed less important. I can't imagine the course, fans, or experience being any better than Wisconsin.....

On Wednesday night, Mrs. Bullet works late for the Park District.

So tonight, I am blasted on a jug of microbrew, reading Scientific American by LED headlamp, on my brick patio, listening to live Basement Tapes (Tina, D2P, Kirk, you have copies).

I had a BLAST in Moo town. Finished in 14:43 and my hubby in 10:02. Loved the course, loved the town, loved the vollys, and LOVED the people of Madison. I seriously might have to re-think my "favorite Ironman town" and make it Madison. The spectators - OMG! Gave me a run course PR with their energy. And they were relentless! HARD core! I am on a high that will last awhile.

Had a great day out there yesterday. I went 12:53 which was over two hours better than my previous best effort at Moo.
