Idiots & Morons
Thursday, January 18, 2007
Some people completely lack the ability to put the past behind them and focus on the future. Some people like to rehash and second guess what has already been "done". I am not one of these people because I don't see the value in looking backwards - I AM ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE. Seiichi, however, likes to continue to second guess his decision to do IM Moo...
Dr. Noda: "Just got my Feb issue of Inside Triathlon. 2007 tri guide. The first line for Ironman Wisconsin: "One of the toughest iron -distance courses in North America is known to serve up some extreme weather that can make this race infinitely challenging." Meanwhile the description for Ironman Florida: "with its pancake flat course, pleasing scenery and comfortable November temps, Ironman Florida appeals to the Kona minded veterans and eager newbies alike." Can anyone say idiots and morons?????????????"
Strassner: Now, that is Seiichi's take. My take is that if you are going to do IM then do it! Jump in with both feet and go for it. Don't pick a race (Florida) just because you think it is going to be easier because easier is not always better. Challenge yourself by taking on a tough course. When you cross the line in Wisconsin nobody will ever be able to say that you did the easiest Ironman out there and you will be that much prouder of your tremendous accomplishment. Plus, you don't have to ship your bike to Wisconsin!
I guess that this is the difference between a heart surgeon and a sales guru.
