Couple of points: it felt like a Slowtwitch circle jerk.
@TRS_tri was clearly more interested in the drama of the forum than the test. Listening to the episode was a guilty pleasure because I knew more about the ST drama than I care to admit and was myself all-in on the circle jerk.
I'm also super interested in the test.
Kiley sounds like a cool dude.
Romulus was a dick, I think he insulted me and I'm pretty quiet over there, he just looked for fights.
Publius was funny, but I also think a lesson. His approach jeopardized the entire test. I personally think I am less than professional, and it probably hurts me at times.
Heath was cooler in person than I could have imagined.
@desert dude I thought was the biggest dick when I first joined Slowtwitch. Then I realized he knew his shit and came around to really like him. I thought his personality would be more foreboding, like his internet persona.
In summation, I'd love to buy all of these guys a beer. We all probably come across as a-holes on the internet from time to time, we all have a love-hate relationship with Slowtwitch and TRS, we all hate
@ThomasGerlachProTri , and we all have far more in common, even with Empfield (and yes even with H2oFun), than we have differences....Which is the true lesson of Publius / Romulus / Kiley.

Sworry to distract from the main theme of the post. We were very lucky to have @desert dude as a regular poster for a while, and are lucky that @TRS_tri brought us together. I can't wait to hear the episode and am sorry to Ben that I didn't have any good ideas.
And I like beer, a lot. I don't drink crap beer and I have a high tolerance so you should bring a wallet full of cash!
fwiw Romulus insulted me as well and I coached that little MFer
Knowing all three, I think there would have been more insights gained from giving more air time to Stover and Heath and their collective wisdom versus Kiley and his much-adored multiple personalities... but that's just me.
p.s. Heath betrayed my "research" provided to Dark Mark: I relayed that Heath was very humble and that you wouldn't know that he was a former pro cyclist or raced Kona. 20 seconds in....
As biased as Kiley is, does Dan not realize that Heath and Stover and conducting these tests? So many contradictions and folks unaware of A2 testing protocol chiming in simply because they don't like someone taking things into their own hands.
Really interesting to follow on facebook to see how testing is progressing: https://www.facebook.com/AeroCamp-351344665263968/
I don't know if anyone noticed but Kiley was banned either Friday night or Saturday morning on the weekend of oceanside. Well he was racing oceanside and managed to get in 2 or 3 of the photos of the ST gallery that was posted on the website later that day or a day after the race. I thought that was funny....

You know, because every fucking human that's made it to adolescence throughout the history of mankind has done the same goddamn thing.
