Coach Reveal and Haters Gonna Hate
By Devon Palmer (Posted on December 2, 2013 by palmertri)
Going against my better judgement I have hired a new coach from Wisconsin. Yes, I know. If you follow this blog you will know I am deeply and offensively prejudiced against the simple, heavyset folk of the Badger State. No disrespect. As a proud Gopher I have a long-standing feud with Tom Gerlach and Blake Becker, the Badger pros. Our Ironwar will be talked about through the ages. Side note, one further reflection of how lousy my season was: I lost to both Tom and Blake at different races in 2013. Previously my record against them was undefeated. I have no beef with Madison’s lady pro, Jackie Arendt, who just won Ironman Wisconsin. She is a winner and we both ride QRs so I respect her. Anyways, I found one guy in the state whose opinion I value and who seems to be a half-way decent person....

NEW HEAD COACH
I am and always will be the CEO of Palmer Tri, LLC but I am excited to announce I’ve hired a new HCO (Head Coaching Officer). The previous HCO was fired at the beginning of August for gross negligence, unforgivable incompetence and a severe scruple deficiency (that is to say, he was unscrupulous). Before and after this individual I myself served as HCO. With all my other duties for the company...
Elongated Duodenums & Neil Diamond...

Going Off Course - In the movie, "What About Bob?," the multiphobic Bob Wiley, hilariously portrayed by Bill Murray, was asked by Dr. Leo Marvin, portrayed by Richard Dreyfus, to discuss his (Wiley's) divorce, to which Murray's character replied, "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't."
When you think about it, few people are ambivalent about Neil Diamond. They either hate him, or, like Eden Prairie triathlete/mom/IT consultant, Marisa (pronounced "Mare-ree'-sah) Skees,love him more than life itself.
Why does Marisa adore Neil Diamond so dang much? Is it his music? Sure. Her favorite ND tune is "Cracklin' Rosie," which might be a drug metaphor, but we're not sure. She (Rosie) is a "store-bought" woman who makes "me sing like a guitar hummin,'" which suggests that she might be a prostitute. Once again, we're not sure....
