re: Favorite "B-List" Olympic event

Triathlon. The Olympic distance is a “short” course for these athletes and they go the whole way (32 miles in total) like it is a sprint. They are absolutely hauling and just don’t care about how much they suffer. ...
It’s not my favorite Sturgill Simpson album, but I think Sound & Fury is entirely about the music industry. His last track on Sailor’s Guide to Earth feels anti-establishment to me too. Staying with that theme, I think Everclear’s,“Santa Monica” and Rage Against the Machine’s, “Wake Up” are good for...

Fat fingers give you an accidental downvote. I enjoyed the book so much I bought copies for all three of my nephews that play sports in the hopes they would find motivation to keep going through adversity. ...
If memory serves, the initial census data showed negative growth for Hattiesburg and the surrounding area. Later revisions showed Hattiesburg and the surrounding area (including Petal) had actually experienced marginal growth. The initial discrepancy was linked to COVID negatively impacting census r...
Triathlete.com ran a short series of articles with videos in January of this year by Matt Pendola. He lays out a four week “bootcamp” for strength and mobility for triathletes.

I am still fairly new to triathlon (did marathons for a few years first). I did my first 70.3 last fall (finished just under 6 hours - not too shabby on a gravel bike - HA!) I am signed up for another 70.3 in September and love this sport. I clearly have a lot to learn, and this may not be what you...

re: Calcium score?

I am 50 and do marathons and longer distance triathlons. My weight, fitness, and BP is good, but I have to manage cholesterol. Maybe it was because of the cholesterol score that my family kept finding these stories of healthy people dropping dead in races and would hound me about going like I do. Ne...
If there was a South Park episode where Cartman got Butters to cut a tree down for him, it would sound exactly like this. ...
Jyn – She is an orphan… ripped away from her parents by the empire… and then abandoned by the republic. She is left a drift to go “where’er so” with no one to claim her and no one to belong to. It is no small thing when Cassian says, "Welcome home." Saw – The one who left Jyn last… a fighter of ...

The first word out of Hanks' mouth in the movie is, "Time." The last word out of his mouth is, "Thank you." I do not think that is an accident and for me, I think it means our days are a gift, not in our control, and that instead of trying to master time, Hank's character has learned to see ordina...
