They totally can't relate to how business really functions and every time they get involved they make things worse. I think their lack of real world experience hurts their creativity too, and they can't imagine that small business can be creative enough to solve a lot of the problems. Good luck!

It's so much easier to take some magic pill to relieve a symptom, but at what cost and with what side effects?!? Let's subsidize organic farmers and tax fast food.

In my decade+ of being a serious triathlete, I never could even begin to imagine doing an Ironman distance race. I know many many people who tried for years to have the kind of race you did on your first attempt! Great report, Scott, and a very impressive race.

I learned several tips that I will incorporate for my first ironman next year (at Lake Placid). I really like the cooked potatoes idea because, like you, the sweet stuff gets old pretty quickly. And, the idea for bringing extra contacts is genious! I know it's a simple one, but it could be a major life saver. Hadn't thought it myself. Great post, Scott!
