Gird thy loins, man, show up and take the plunge. You're not taking a slot away from anybody. You can do it.

Oh, for the love of...

Argh. We're going up anyway...hang tight. And stop talking about my loins.

So are we to expect pictures of your girded courage next week?

No, only of my shame-faced cowardice (coward ***?) There are other factors involved with this weekend other than my wilted loins, unfortunately. More than willing to go embarass myself, but my potential change of plans didn't sit well at home. I think there are birthday shennanigans planned for me...How about some of you other X throwers compete at Estes with me next year?

"Next year"...do I sound like a Cubs fan, or what? I just know that I'll have to make good on it or I won't be able to show my face around these here parts--been talking it up too much to back down. A good incentive.

I forsee an EPIC photo thread. Oh, wait.....next year. Now, I do understand the issue with these last minute changes, and so in light of that, I offer up this peace offering......

OK. FINE!!!!

now, back to your loins....

Yes! I'll trade you pints for pointers.

Alan? You got your tickets yet? Lotsa pretty girls out here for you to leer at...

Just a sour comment....

I notice that the OP comes in and complains loudly and aggressively about how impossible it is to get any help with the Heavy Athletics, and then when several of us send him links to contacts, training manuals, video's and lists of workout logs, he mysteriously disappears.

It's not the first time this has happened on X Marks. Much more of this and I'm going to get cynical.

Fortunately, two new guys are throwing in the CHAC, and they're both doing absolutely *great* and were out for their third workout last night. They'll both be throwing at Fresno and Dixon, I believe. New lass Jessica turned the womens C class caber for the first time last night. So there's hope for the world.
