I’d be less harsh if you were here training with me, not sleeping at strange houses in strange cities far from my trembling fingers.

I desperately miss you in a purely platonic way.

Aw, Ben, sorry to hear about your tough day. I actually had wondered if you were going to take some real rest - your week in Marin last week sounded pretty brutal. I’m chalking this up to not enough recovery.

Now REST and go get some redemption next week!!!

Wow, that’s harsh.

Just so everyone understands that Brian is trying to be funny, I don’t actually live in a rich white gated community, and I paid for my own flights to Geneva, and there’s no way I could swim bike and run ALL day. That would be an ironman.

I do get to swim bike and run all day. That’s cool.

Translation: “Boo hoo! I travel the world on someone else’s dime and swim and bike and run all day and get paid to screw around with elite equiment and live at my parents’ house by the lake in my rich white gated community and I didn’t have the perfect race for once and woe is me!”

Quitter.

Sorry to hear you didn’t race as well as you wanted. We are always toughest on ourselves, so learn from your mistakes and try not to make them again.

Good luck in the next one… I’m sure you’ll Crush!

you gotta have some hard days so you can fully appreciate it when you excel. otherwise, you’d start to feel unsatisfied with your awesome days. now, the next time you have a perfect triathlon, you’re really going to feel like a superhero!

when are you coming to the city?

I almost quit a forty mile bike ride by myself yesterday. I feel your pain. You are still my hero.

Sorry kid. I would agree with Greg and that you’re probably just a bit under-recovered from your solid but intense training. nice job on knowing when to conserve energy for next week and to call it a day. Enjoy the long race today and recover well.
