A certain amount of pax which was never accurately determined sallied forth to the low country to tri as we might. Veni. Vidi. Trici.
Having straggled in from parts near and far, the events started as you might expect. In a scene right out of Home Alone, a certain number of pax stampeded forth from our magnificent lodgings in search of food. Our fearless leader Jethro bounded to and fro with a sense of unease, wondering if we had everyone. He seemed almost certain we did not, but the pax assured him everyone was present and accounted for. As we prepared to drive away our leader received a call from our favorite Turk. As he looked at his phone incredulously I’m almost sure the exact words were, “Tulu? What the hell does Tulu want?” Only to find out that our international man of mystery was locked, trapped and left INSIDE our lodgings and we were about to leave without him!
Thus the trip began.
With Tulu now firmly in tow, we headed off for dinner. Alas, Tulu soon wished he’d been left behind when he received the bill for his Kiawah Kids Meal. I believe this time the exact words were, “Goat, I forgot my glasses. Can you read my bill for me? It look like it says 85 dollars.”
And we were off to the races! A GLORIOUS weekend it was to be abounding in non-stop laughter, snoring, pain and bourbon.
Highlights:
”Jethro says….” is the prelude to anything of note.
We all skipped the swim clinic to attend Tulu’s 1 day of pain training program lecture. Books is out and he will sign copies at all local pickle ball tournaments.
Eggs. Many, many eggs.
Omaha swam like a riverboat while Riverboat cycled like an Omaha twister
Maxbeth tore up the route with a torn bicep
Oshkosh was on the Tulu one day of pain plan and it worked for him too
we all smelled weed on the course, and of course Hippie was ahead of all of us Coincidence? You be the judge
Fruit. Much, much fruit.
Plumb Bob swam the backstroke (and that was just in his bottle of bourbon)
Much football was watched.
Kosar experienced rising sea surface temperatures while Boat and Omaha debated it. As I write this, there is a decent chance Kosar broke his arm. But he is a tough wrestler and he shall return.
This is just the beginning of the report. All attendees are encouraged to input their own glorious memories in the comments below…
