Tdisc Press Conference

Tdisc Training Facility - Feb. 18/09
(Table is set up at the front with 4 microphones. From left it's Tdiscpye, Tdiscadmiral, Tdiscgreggy, and Tdisckree. Everyone else is mingling around out in front of Tdisc.)

7:00:01 P.M.- (The author of the blog...Tdiscpye) Friends, family, reporters, fellow triathletes, prime minister Stephen Harper. Thank you all for coming today...we appreciate the support we have gotten over the past 160 days of training. We've had many ups and downs through the process but none bigger than what happened on monday. When you live your life in the public eye, sometimes you feel a lot of pressure. (Captain Tdiscgreggy reaches over and puts his arm around The admiral.) This man took the weight of Tdisc on his shoulders for as long as he could before finally he snapped. Things were said and actions were shown by members of Tdisc which eventually led to the Tdisc shakeup. (Tdiscpye reaches over and puts his arm around the admiral) Apologies were given and apologies were accepted. We have overcome our differences to continue our push to Fredericton '09. In the process a proposal was put on the table for the Red Island Relay. I'll now hand it over to Tdisckree to explain the details of the proposal.

(Tdisckree) Good afternoon, In the wake of Monday's blowup I came up with a proposal for the Red Island Relay.TDISKREE and TDISCGREGGY VS. TDISCADMIRAL and TDISCPYE.

take it or leave it......

I think the teams need to be across family and household lines. Also, this will force tdiscadmiral and tdispye to get along better. the two biggest names in tdisc will be forced together. This leaves each team with a good runner and good biker.
TDISC has been getting stale lately and really looking for blogging material...this announcement will send the fans and media into a frenzy and clear the uncertainty that awaits us in 100 days in Brudenell.
Looking forward to hearing back from the Pye-Admiral camp.
I'll now hand it over to the Captain of the team for his spin on things.

(Captain Tdiscgreggy) I think this proposal is a positive thing, because of a number of reasons….
TDISCKREE born 1980 TDISCADMIRAL born 1980
TDISCGREGGY born 1983 = 54 TDISCPYE born 1983 =54
Strong Biker, Strong Runner. Strong Biker, Strong Runner
Neither team lives together, so no sneaking out together to get a workout in. Everything will stay honest.
This will also force each other to continue and be strong, because now if that one person backs off it will let down another. Friendly competition makes the end result faster, because now you are not running and biking for yourself, but also another team member.

(Tdiscadmiral) BOY'S IT'S ON!!!!!!When two emotionally charged individuals come together everyone elsebetter get the hell out of the way. I will help my new partner battle his food addiction and he will helpme battle my rage problem. We will be on call for each other 24hours aday. I have now decided to invest in a cell phone. I will only betaking calls from my new partner tdiscPye. I wish all participants the best of luck in the Red Island Relay. Watchfor us on the podium.

(Tdiscpye) I agree with the admiral. I don't think there will be any doubt we'll be good. I extremely excited to work with John...he's one guy I know i'll never have to kick him in the rear...i'll just have to keep pulling him back. With him now getting a new cellphone we will be in touch and immediatly we'll start crunching numbers. I have a time in my head for the admiral...I just have to convince him that it is reachable. I'm excited for what's to come...it'll be one heck of a ride. So the field is set...Tdisc #1 will be the favored Tdisckree and Tdiscgreggy. Tdisc #2 will be the admiral and myself. I will now hand it over to Tdiscgreggy to close out this press conference.

(Captain Tdiscgreggy) This week in the life of T.Disc is a prime example of the trials and tribulations we go through to become triathletes T.Disc has grown from these experiences to become more than a team, but a family. In the face of real adversity the joking stops and the outcome is a stronger, closer unit, some even venture to say a band of brothers.
This week was also special because we selected our partners for the Red Island Relay. This was a positive because it separated us into partners in which were strong in one leg and weak in another. This was a move to take our training to the next level, by forcing us to work on our weaker activity.
This was a great week overall for T.Disc because we have had a day’s rest and released all tension in the air and moved forward. Great effort by everyone today, and can’t wait for tomorrow! Thanks for coming.


Today was a good day for Tdisc. We had a great weights session and swim. Everyone was very positive and supportive of one another. Bike and run tommorow....no spin.

Till next time,
Tdiscpye
