I am planning on returning to this blog. Just read my most recent post and I need to remember that stuff sometimes. I am going in the future to write about my current life situation and changes but need to wait a few more days to release that information. Right now I am going to blog my current annoyance. Well maybe two.
What is up with triathletes that aren't even very good getting sponsorship? I think there is basically one difference between me and them. I will not put stickers on my car announcing anything. Let alone sponsors. I will also not take selfies and post them on Facebook with hashtags to all of my supporters. Bottom line. I guess there is nothing I will do about it. I don't believe I am entitlted to sponsorship but there are some out there that do and they also are not Facebook advertising themselves. How do these good people get themselves out there. This is brewing a new idea. More on that later....
My second rage is the Bobcat Triathlon. Honestly, I want to promote triathlon but after a couple of years I am not super excited about supporting the MSU triathlon Club. The kids are way to entitled. Or, think they are way too entitled. I just want to provide a really good race for the beginner and the elite athlete. I want to promote the sport to the community. MSU does not give back. MSU does not care about the local community. I don't think that the goals of MSU align with my goals for the race. Not to mention Maureen and all the staff up there are total dumbasses and have not sense of urgency.
Why- I want to support Masters swimming not the tri club kids and maybe even more, not MSU.
Options: Just keep going with MSU. Nothing will get better. Ever.
2- Talk to the City. What is going on with Bogert? Could we have the race in that pool? Still called the Bobcat but earlier in the year and not affiliated with MSU at all. Negative for this. The pool is on it's last legs. Race would be dependent on the pool.
3- Offer to take over the Tritons race. Lots of options here. Bring long course back? Make this a good race! It may take a couple of years but we are already getting good numbers.
4- Walk away from Bobcat entirely and take over Xterra.
5- Stay with the Bobcat and take on Xterra.
I think a lot of these options go away from my goals.
