Rob 178 Report post Posted June 28 On 26/06/2019 at 6:13 PM, Andrew #1 said: Yeah, like let’s all sic the rozzers onto healthy age groupers who manage to find the time and motivation to pull their finger out and go from 6hrs to ... maybe (dunno but maybe) possibly getting close to 5 hours for a 70.3. Because, wow - that would be like going from ... nowhere at the back of the field to nearly nowhere but maybe the middle of the pack ... just because we hacks might feel threatened that someone else might contest our own mediocrity. That’s simply not acceptable, is it? Let’s make them know that the haters are hating behind their backs, make them feel a little shit about themselves, instead of proud of their improvement, as they pee into a cup because someone turned camp informant/malicious gossip. The last Half Ironman I did was Geelong 70.3. Out of 270 female competitors, only 27 broke 5 hours, 6 of those were Pros. So we are talking about going from near the back of the pack to age group podium. And TC keeps on stating that the person in question is far from a natural athlete. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 178 Report post Posted June 28 On 27/06/2019 at 8:24 AM, Ex-Hasbeen said: Maybe we should mention an up & coming young tennis player to WADA. Just a couple years ago she was 600th in the world, and she just made number 1 last week. It sounds too good to be true. I realise you mention this in jest. But you are referring to someone who is a natural talent at any sport she tries. If would be more of a surprise if she wasn't very successful. On the other hand, if someone like me suddenly improved and became ranked 600th Tennis player in the world, then definitely send in the drug testers.

So at a next to nuffink race in a nuffink sport someone maybe possibly threatening a top 30 position (wow, at the front of the middle of the pack) having been a solid back of the same middle of the pack (6hrs for a woman in a 70.3 is pretty solid without being spectacular, same as a bloke doing 5:30ish) leads to this ... shit. FMD. Get a life people. “Age group podium” in a piss ant 70.3 is the Valhalla of mediocrity. And ... she ain’t even done that yet. Only that Grinchy and her Heather mates fear that she ... might one day. Sacrebleu! .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to dope up and get ripped and then just come out and go sub 10hrs. Then I found out, even if I’m not a member of TA they can still test me. So I just stuck to donuts and milk shakes. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
