I used to LOVE this place!

okay — let me just clarify a few things here

BT was a catalyst for me in that I made a few really good friends as a result of stumbling upon this site 2-3 years ago. Those new friendships would hopefully survive with or without the BT touch point. Forever grateful to have been connected with certain peeps I now call my friends. Outside of that, this is a great place to log my workouts and document my races and share both with my friends.

The rest is bunk…

I love you CT BT peeps!

Just a joke, taken from an old No Fear gear saying, i had it on a sticker that was on my race car when i road raced cars mant years ago. I did not get married till late last year, my one year anny is coming up in October. I have a great wife, she lets me get away with murder. Took me 38 years to find her, and went through alot of others to get to her, i am sure you have the same issue.

Yes i am, it will be my first, unless i do the minute man in Westport as a warmup.

yes hopefully i will meet a couple of Bt'ers there. Get in touch with me we can introduce ourselves. :0)

they want to marry you off because until you are married there is always the possibility that you will move back home into your childhood bedroom and pretend that you are 12 years old again and then never move out.

Or maybe that's just my family?

That's just what Mom's say to your face so she doesn't hurt you feelings.

As to BT, I personally think the only big change is the "know it alls" on the main board.  I think the same questions are being asked, I think the tone is pretty similar, but now that it is so much bigger and people have been here for awhile, they think they know everything.  Now that I think about it, this really hasn't changed either.  I remember fighting against the "How do I run faster" posts and all the brainiacs posting to do 400m repeats.   Meanwhile, the person was only running 8 miles a week and couldn't figure out why they were slow.

I think as a group we have changed more than BT itself.  I have been thinking about looking for a new place to post my workouts.  But in the end, I would really miss reading other peoples workouts, getting and giving inspires and reading race reports (my favorite part).  So, I am going to stick around and maybe we can livin things up again.

Well, i unserstand how you guys feel. I belong to other forums for other things, (i collect golf putters for one, muscle cars) you get the know it all's anywhere you go, i have learned to avoid them to the best of my ability and not read the threads. Being a newbie here, i ask questions and try to make aquaintences, some are probably redundant, but i do use the search to avoid those.

keep one thing in mind

Everyone is a friggin' expert, just ask them!!

ya know, while i am at it, when do you guys wanna do a 30-50 mile ride?? Pick a weekend and let me know, Baitboy, you can run, cause you run as fast as i bike!!

well said, Mark.
Without blogs to leave inspires in, race reports to read and comment on, and message boards to talk about nothing on, what would I do at work all day????

I have been posting my little fingers off over the last few months.  I have found the CT BT forum very helpful.  For example, KSB recommend the Winding Trail Series, which was great. I met rbrigz there as well as others.  I dont think CT BT is lame, this community has been a real help to me. I am always happy to join anyone on a run, bike, swim, etc  you just have to be slow.

if anyone wants to ride roller coasters and eat corn dogs LC, i'm your man.
