More Pics of the boys @ Mooloolaba

Get Some Mooloolaba

Solid start for the boys down in Mooloolaba Australia.

First Jenkins won the swim prime, another 1st out of the water for our squad. Jenkins went on to contest the bike primes, led many laps of the ride and got himself into a breakaway of 4 on the last lap of the bike, with 15 secs over the main bunch.

Paul equaled his 7th place from last year at this event, but in a much stronger field with more on the line, and closer to the medals, only 15 secs back from 3rd. Paul also achieved the top 8 performance necessary as a prerequisite for the automatic selection at the final trials race at the Vancouver World Championships.

Kyle had a great swim, and very solid run to finish up in 10th, only 14 secs back from the top 8, and overall one of his best career finishes.

Well done boys!

Do you maggots understand that?

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on n%#$@s, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?

Canada clears the air on pollution concern

'Not as bad as we all first thought,' physiologist says
Mar 25, 2008 04:30 AM

RANDY STARKMAN SPORTS REPORTER
The Canadian Olympic team's environmental physiologist says athletes will be breathing easier than most expect in Beijing.

Dr. Jon Kolb of the University of Calgary has been crunching data for a few years now to determine what kind of a problem the pollution poses for Canada's athletes at the 2008 Summer Games.

"My feeling is, based on the measurements we've been doing ... it's not as bad as we all first thought," said Kolb. "Certainly, some people have run away with it, without having done the measurements. From my perspective, I don't think of it being that huge of a concern."

Kolb's assessment jibes with what the International Olympic Committee reported last week, but not with the experience of some American athletes who competed in Beijing last year.

Never Discount a 3x World Champion

Tri favourite no longer a 'dark horse'

12:00a.m. 27 March 2008 | By Peter Gardiner
When one of the fancies for this Sunday’s Mooloolaba Triathlon World Cup qualified for the Sydney Olympics triathlon in 2000, it was another case for the sporting public of “Peter who?”

If Peter “Robbo” Robertson had landed from Mars his name could not have been more foreign for a fickle public who only ever know the glamour triathletes.

Robertson, from that faraway galaxy of Perth, experienced exactly how Peter Taylor, one of Australian cricket’s greatest dark horse selections, felt when he swooped from the other worldy ether.

His Sydney Triathlon World Cup win in 2000, which announced his arrival on the world stage was about six or seven years in the making.

“I happened to land my biggest result (til then) in the biggest event going – the Olympic qualifier,” Peter said on the eve of his arrival in Mooloolaba.
