Great to be talking triathlon again...

Don't look now, but I think that ecce and all of his/hers/it's various incarnations are gone. It's
great to be talking triathlon again.

Is anyone else having a hard time focusing on training while the war is going on? Whether you're for
it or against it, it seems to occupy considerable space in my mind right now.

Definitely having difficulty......triathlon seems so damned narcissistic now

Narcissistic? Why? Are you suggesting that running, riding and swimming somehow makes any one more
self centered than anyone else? I raced in a 10k the Saturday after 9/11. We had a moment of
silence, and acknowledged the atrocity that happened on that day. While racing, it was never out of
my mind (or probably anyone elses).

I'll be racing at Camp Pendleton next weekend at Ralphs. And we'll all cheer like hell every time
we see any armed forces out there.....regardless of personal feelings about whether we should be
there or not.

My son,

Oh, but you can open your mouth for me since I am a man of the cloth.

So fuc/*ng what ! Who cares ?

I've got over a dozen mates out in the desert - they're ALL professional soliders - and most of them
joined JUST to get the chance to go to war and kill foreign nationals and get a big medals pinned on
their chest. They'll be fine. I WISH TO GOD I wasn't such a yellow bastard because I would love to
be there alongside them - killing jonny foreigner and trying to win a medal.

Brother George,

Do you like sticking it out? I'll pin more than a medal on you. Come to the confessional and we'll
have a talk.
