We've needed this thread for a long time and today is the day to start it.

Happy Birthday Kona! 50! Welcome aboard.

There once was a lass named Kona
Who came from ..well...Kona.
She had great abs
and scarce any flabs
And raced in white caps and tu-tu's. :)

Good idea Anton-- and you're quite the poet.

Happy Birthday Kona... 50 is nifty.

Interesting how we knoew so much about some people and about others we know almost nothing - especially those people who ask the most detailed questions about what they should do and tell us nothing about themselves?

Anyway, good thread idea.
Happy half-century Kona and best wishes foir the next half. No negative splits on this one, okay?

Some want to be known, and others don't.
You get what you put into it, not so much by what you take.
I like getting to know people here.
Meeting some trifuelers at events is great too.:D

Thank you all! If you read my blog, you can see I did a birthday workout of 50 mile ride (at least), 50 minute run (actually 55) and 50 laps in the pool. Not a crazy workout like I've seen some do on their birthday, but it worked for me.

There are many people who don't believe me when I tell them my age, and I like it very much that way, thanks. Not that I look like I'm twenty either. Do I want to go back? No way. There's this wonderful freedom of thought that comes with age, a sense of serenity (acceptance??), and appreciation for all the small things.

From a triathlon perspective, I am still setting PR's, and that is just a wonderful thing! I don't know how long that will last, but for the time being my plan is to get stronger and faster.

I do plan on toasting at Disney, especially if I manage to nail a BQ, but if not, I plan on having serious fun. Maybe the weather will be a little nicer. I'd take upper 40's or low 50's!

Thank you all again, this is going to be one heckuva year!

This greeting goes out to the Father of "Question for the trifuel women" thread, even though we haven't heard from him in awhile.

He quotes Thoreau and other folks nifty

Since you are a master of the English language and a poet at heart, I will not even attempt a limrick in your honor. It would pale beside what you could whip up.
Have a great one and congrats on the age up! (I love it when I find someone older than me :) )

Thanks Dudes! I'm touched.
That's right, I age-up this year.
I'm the kid again in the M55-59 age group.
Look out you fossils here I come!
I got some nice presents from my poet friends over at The Poetry Free-For-All BB, pix included, including one of a cool Felt. Check out my thread here. At PFFA, I am known as prokopton. It's a Greek thing.
And Cher posted a triathloon cartoon for me, I'll share it with you guys.

haha thanks. Guess you could say I celebrated in a non-traditional style. All the bars in town were packed last night on account of the basketball game, so I just hung out with some friends and watched us win a horribly played game against USC. Slept in and then hit my 3:30hr ride/20min Run workout. The temperatures are definetely starting to rise in NC. I also made the mistake of taking out my easy run not so easy and averaging like a 6:10-6:15 for the 20minutes... At least I know I could be drinking when I go to bed at 10pm ;)
