Today was a new day for Josh Vessey. In a phone conversation that I had with him after the announcement of the vote he said "I understand...thanks for the support." He arrived on time even though he got stuck in the driveway. The saviour.....setting the alarm clock 15 minutes early. That's what the stipulations were made for.
I was worried upon my entry into the water today but quickly found a groove. I found a way to hammer out 1500m. I was really impressed with the way I swam but I'm still not where I need to be in the water. Since it was a full house in the pool today I didn't get the chance to swim with the boys. From what I heard there was a bit of racing going on...the admiral was defending his title in the 50m freestyle.
It's great to be back with Tdisc and into the triathlete routine. Tonight it's edfit...tomorrow it's bike sprints and weights.

For Immediate Release:
It is with great regret I inform you that tonight at 7pm there will be a secret ballot vote to determine the status of Josh Vessey. Over the past number of days, his future with TDISC has been in question. As coach of the team, I must bring this issue to a head. On Monday Feb. 1 Josh Vessey orchestrated a series of events and text messages that led to the cancellation of a workout. He "decieved and tricked" the Admiral - something that is never taken lightly. On Wednesday, Feb. 3, Josh Vessey missed a workout due to a power outage that knocked his alarm clock out. After further investigation (Tdisc called Jason Flick at Maritime Electric), the report was untrue and in fact he slept in. Today, Feb 8, Josh Vessey missed the entire TDISC workout.
During the run, the fate of Josh Vessey was discussed at great length amongst the members. It was agreed that something needed to be done.
In recognition of these past events, I TDISCKREE call for a secret ballot vote. All five members will cast a ballot at 7pm AST tonight - Feb 8. The following will be the procedure:
At 7pm all members of TDISC will text the Admiral with their vote. It will either read:
"VESSEY STAYS"
or
"VESSEY IS OUT"
Admiral will recieve the texts. IF it is a tie, then he will cast the deciding ballot. If he doesn't feel that he has sufficient information, Vessey may be called to Testify at the Admirals house. In this event, all members will also attend as well as the CRM in order to keep a record of the minutes.
Admiral will then release the count to TDISCPYE. Vessey's fate will be revealed on the blog at 730 AST.
Regrettfully,
TDK

I'm Back!
"I shoveled fast this morning so I would be on time...then people show up late." -Admiral (ticked)
"He's *&#@*$@ Gone!"- Bull
I must say...I'm glad to be back bringing the daily events to Tdisc nation. I had a great vacation. As a triathlete...sometimes we need rest, and that I did. Other then a bad case of Tdisckree bowls, I feel great. I'm ready to face the dog days head on.
I'm extremely upset with what has happened to my dearest Tdisc while I was gone. It's no secret that the blog holds guys accountable and from what i've heard, there was no accountability while I was gone. That all changes this week. Today's run was a statement run. In the words of the admiral "it was a good ol' fashion Tdisc run." The conditions were terrible!
The biggest news is definatly the fate of Josh Vessey. As talked about below...he missed a big run. I will admit that I was ready to follow the bull and can him right then. When I came up the stairs to the TTF following the run, my mindset changed. I saw a vacant workout bag by the locked door with a bag of bagels sitting next to it. Shortly there after Vessey came walking in....low as a snake. He handed everyone a bagel with strawberry jam. They made a mistake at tim's and only put 5 in so he didn't have one. The bull was not being swayed at all and made no bones about it that he wants vessey gone. A short dispute started and ended then surfaced again in by the showers. Something had to be done!
Tonight will be the first time Tdisc has gone to a secret ballot in order to reveal someone's fate. I see a bit of myself in Vessey. Until I got paired with the admiral for the Red Isle and began fearing for my life, I was late and quitting and just getting smashed by the dog days. For me I was able to get it back on track, he needs to do the same. My ballot tonight will not be a secret. I've voting for Vessey to stay. I had a meeting with him this morning and I believe he can commit 110% to Tdisc. Before leaving I wished him good luck...and all he could say was "I'm nervous."
Tdisc isn't for everyone. That's why we have the 100 day trial. We'll see tonight if Josh Vessey survives to see another day with Tdisc. As of right now I'd say that the vote sits at 1-1. I don't think the bull can be swayed.
Till later tonight,
TDP
