Are there any athletes who have smoked their whole life? If so, then I pick them, because they'll feel right at home.

So, are you affiliated with AsiaHotels in some way?

Andy Potts

Weary is the path that does not challenge.

I'd love to see Laura Bennett take it, or at least be on the podium. Not sure I'd take that Andy Potts bet considering he didn't (unfortunately) make the team. btw, did anyone listen to the Endurance Planet podcast interview with Hunter Kemper after HyVee? The guy kind of put Hunter on the spot about whether the U.S. was sending the strongest possible team to Beijing - basically implying that Andy should be going instead of Jarrod.

Ah, Chunky, let 'em go this time. It's a thread we would have started sooner or later, and other than his signature he isn't advertising/spamming us, right?

How could Potts not make the team?! I'm shocked....

Javier Gomez is my pick. He's the number one ranked ITU triathlete in the world and his run is absolutely ridiculous.

I never used the term "spam" ;)

I didn't think I was being hard on him at all.

Henning looked really strong in Iowa and said he was only 95%. He and Gomez and my top two picks.
