The last time I checked, a person was entitled to his/her "IMHO". But I guess that isn't so around here. Have fun with your repressive little world that have here kids. Typical Liberal thinking. If you don't like something, bash it into the ground.

Your opinion is neither humble, nor worth anything. As to bashing into the ground, what was the comment that you made about triathlon? Oh, that's right, its for morons. Way to alienate a whole group of people.

What are you posting in this forum for anyway? You obviously have no interest in triathlon. And you are desecrating a thread about the death of a triathlon competitor.

Is that what you fought for? The right to be a complete, antisocial ass? If so, you have succeeded. WooHoo for you.

That must code for "you're absolutely correct" since you're still finding it worthwhile to respond to every post in here. What a champ!

That does seem like the common sense interpretation, but every single case I've known of was the exact opposite - highly seasoned, highly experienced, highly accomplished competitors. Just this year in Indy, we had a very accomplished swimmer die during an OWS event.

Bingo. I've worked in health care long enough to know that there are "living" states that are arguably worse than dying, and there are definitely better and worse ways to die.

I'd much rather die at 68 cycling, swimming, or running, than die at 88 after 15 years in a total care facility.
