Answering questions

I'm sure some of you are wondering by now why I haven't gone pro. Truth be told, I think about it every day. I sit here and look wistfully at the offers from major sponsors that pour in on what seems to be a daily basis. But I know that by going pro my life will be turned upside down. I make a decent living right now. But going pro means giving up my cushy salary to live on what might be $25,000 in my first year. I'm just not willing to pay that price. Plus, as a pro you spend so much time trying to get sponsors that you have no time leftover after training. Supersoulmate B. has offered to support me so that I can pursue triathlon full time, but my goal has been to never rely on a man for support.

I just have to say - your blog is freaking hilarious. You are brilliant.

I concur. Your blog is a great source of amusement: keep up the good work. You're either a brilliant troll who successfully, if childishly, manages to irk people, or you're severely deluded - bordering on megalomania. In either case it's quite funny.

Hey Trigal!!! It was graet seing you at Wildflower! Too bad you flatted, you would have CRUSHED your AG. I ended up second in my AG.... I suppose thats OK, it wasn't one of my A races this year.

Hey Steve! Yes, I expect you to have an overall win in one of your A races. But second is never good enough. Remember that!
