Hope you have all been getting ready for the new season. I hate to break the news to everyone but I will not be racing this season. I know I really enjoyed putting the hammer down on who ever I could, I loved the feeling of running down anyone I could see. Unfortunately, My asthma has come to a point where I am unable to manage it at higher levels of performance and I do not like the amount of drugs I am having to take to get me to the level of where I would like to be.

I am not at all upset anymore and I know I will miss it for a while but I am not out forever but I also need a break from it to see how my body is doing. I still intend to keep fit and I love eating healthy. Plus, I will still be posting because I have to harass people about wearing red thongs and drinking Wheat Grass shots.

Now, I have a almost brand new in EXCELLENT condition 06' QR CALIENTE for sale. It has carbon S-bend aero bars. I am going to put it on ebay and will be selling without wheels. I am going to list it for 2500$ but I will sell to a trifueler 2400$. Just add wheels and go.

I placed 4th overall on this bike at the Clermont 1/2 IM it is a FAST bike. Less than 500 miles on it. I have pics just Private Message me.

CHRIS !

Wow, sorry to hear that.
Obviously you need to do what is right for your health etc.
Good luck with that.
So what is the excuse now for running around in a red thong?!;)

No excuse !! LOL.

I am going to volunteer some time to coaching. I am not sure what form it will take but I still want to be involved with the sport.

Anyone with a used mt bike for sale let me know. I am a small to small med.

That QR is sweet. I really loved riding it. I am looking at a roadie bike now. Just to pedal around on.

Just move back down and forget about that cold weather.

Didnt you get a screaming deal on that Caliente? I would just hang on to it and see how you feel about tris next year. You just might get the itch again...

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

But then I will want a new bike.

I know what you mean though .... I really had to think about my choice but I have done triathlons for 10 years , 10 whole years and I loved all of it. I still do, but I need to calm down a little. I have not had a donut in years ;)

Well, you can have my old mtn bike. I also have a buddy who's selling a Giant Trance 1 and wants about what you're asking for the Caliente. I tricked him into doing IMWI with me this year, so he needs a tri bike. Maybe you two could do a straight trade.
