One of my latest blogs, I mentioned how difficult it was to stay home and live my life while my bother inlaw was deployed to Iraq. My dad was 5th SF, so I guess you can say it's in the blood. Although I get up every morning and put in my 8 hours, it's really isn't who I am. It does not define me. I am me, my job isn't, I too am a triathlete, a clydesdale.chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483508385361217400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29406556.post-48108023171290074292007-02-25T10:15:00.000-05:002007-02-25T10:15:00.000-05:00Great post Big Gun..Reminded me of the mission sta...Great post Big Gun..<BR/><BR/>Reminded me of the mission statement from Jerry McGuire..<BR/><BR/>"Ironman.

Despite the differences in finish times...there is a common bond and respect. That is one of the great immeasurables about this sport, about this culture of people working to "be" better...in every area of their life.LoneStarCrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631352304880151342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29406556.post-776884946368494832007-02-24T14:58:00.000-05:002007-02-24T14:58:00.000-05:00Great post!

It's the stuff outside the job that defines me, husband, dad, newbie triathlete. The goal-setting, the training, the perservenece, and the people in triathon is what I love!Duanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605749589659291041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29406556.post-4441030532854970982007-02-23T21:45:00.000-05:002007-02-23T21:45:00.000-05:00I love my career, wouldn’t want to be doing anythi...I love my career, wouldn’t want to be doing anything else for the foreseeable future. However, I think we are a lot alike…built physically and psychologically to be fully engaged mind, body and spirit. I need to be doing things that cause me to think, cause me to exert and contain meaning beyond my own needs and desires…Flutterby a.k.a. Wife says I was built to be running across the tundra chasing Mammoth with a big wooden stick.<BR/><BR/>Triathlon commands my full attention and demands my complete exertion. The mental and physical parts are obvious but the “spirit” part works like this; while triathlon certainly produces satisfying personal achievements I don’t view it as such for the most part…for me the accomplishments I produce in triathlon, or any sport, are my participation in that long like of other human beings who yell into the darkness of space and time “Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”<BR/><BR/>Hey, this is getting to be a good post…thanks for the prompt.S.
