I saw where HMAC has joined the forum. He would be the cousin I don't claim. Nah, I claim him...just not publicly.
Instead of introducing him, I'll leave that to him. Good guy, good runner,
Also, I think another old high school friend of mine and HMAC is on here, but in the form of a lurker. He hasn't joined in on the forum but does take the time to read the posts I believe. He is known as Chickenwing, or perhaps Wingman on RA. He can explain the nickname. He was at the Fleet Feet clinic that we had a few weeks ago. Another good guy and good runner.
Welcome to the new guys! thanks for sharing this picture of the 3 of you when you were in college together. Eric always told us that he thought swimming was the bestest part of triathlons and that he has always been a ssssuper sssswimmer!! The picture below is from when Eric set the record for the fastest 50 yard swim by a Future Farmers of America member.
I HAVE TOTALLY SEEN THOSE GUYS AT THE PICKENS POOL ON A FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to my buddies.....Harold and Wendell!!
Haaaaa - thats great....I like that.
Too bad you couldn't join us for the picture. We just didn't have enough time to keep waiting on you to finish.
Thanks for the welcome. I guess I need to start training consistently since I've joined this group. However, I have no intentions of getting in a pool with Erich again, ever. I used to be a decent runner til I got lazy and added a few pounds. I've done a few marathons but never broke the 4 hr mark. I've also done a few sprint triathlons and switched over to mostly duathlons with the wingman and a few half marathons. Maybe I'll get a little inspiration and tri a half ironman one day. Looking forward to seeing you guys on the road!
