Fun With Darts

If you want to kill a few minutes AND simultaneously express your distaste for Riccardo Ricco, go HERE now. (Opens in new tab.) Hint: some places bleed worse than others. I won't tell you where the big gusher is, but it rhymes with "putz".

Is it wrong

that a enjoy it when the blood spurts out? Is it wrong that I am specifically aiming for his eyes and balls?

OMG! I just hit him where it counts

and the blood spray was hilarious. My co-worker is sitting across from me and what like, what the hell was that? Too funny. I think it’s time for me to go home now.

There's this guy that lives across the street from me

and he wears white rimmed sunglasses. I think Ricco may be part of the reason that I instinctively dislike him (with the remainder being the high probability that 99% of guys who wear white plastic sunglasses in a non-ironic fashion are douches).

This is fun

Makes me remember when Bert shoved that banana in his face.

That's an understatement Lyne.

how remarkably restrained we are today…

That photo requires a caption contest.

    Why restrain ourselves, oh yea, Chris’ kids might be reading over his shoulder.

There's a photo on the Astana site

that I can’t directly link to that shows Lance riding with a whole bunch of bananas, maybe he’s trying to distract Alberto.

I just saw that one.

That is rather odd. He’s got like a bunch of 10 of them. Hungry?

Maybe he just really likes bananas.

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly likes them. Likes them like John-Mancrush-Eustice-in-a-locked-room-with-Oscar-Sevilla.

This video is an attempt to show the ambience at the final hour of the Nice Ironman competition. A lame attempt i'll admit, but wth? If you're ever going to finish towards the end of an ironman, i suggest Nice as the place to do it. The applause and support and general ambience at the end is really remarkable. Dj's, pom-pom girls, people dancing, shouting, dance music blasting ... Some finishers just go on through, others raise their arms or just have a huge smile, one guy did some pushups while the dj counted for him, another did a cartwheel, some ran through with their little kids holding their hands. And this all 8 hours after the winners have finished. 

When i went out my door to walk over to see the last hour or so of the Ironman, the first thing i saw was a guy across the street, pushing his triathlon bike, head hanging down to his chest, walking with a pronounced. Painful. Slow. Trudge. Medal around his neck. He'd done well. Hope he felt better the next day.

Then i got to the promenade and started seeing more of the people who'd finished: one guy asleep on the pavement with his wife by his side in all the raucous noise and confusion and crowds everywhere. Then the medical tent - massages, those heat blanket thingies, oxygen, people limping aorund, Oy! 

Then every now and then you see a finisher with a medal around their neck who look fresh as a daisy, like they've just had a nice walk in the park.

Then finally you get to the finish line ... and that's the video. At the end there's a fireworks display (no one timed their finish to coincide with it this year) and then apparently a few hundred people stayed all night to party on the prom next to the beach until daybreak.

I could not do an ironman even if i wanted to, but i'll be there again next year to help welcome the last finishers in.
