Interim Blog Author
As Interim Author/ Vice President of bloggingwithtdisc.blogspot.com and as Head Coach of TDISC, I am saddened by the news that Tdiscpye (now known as Ryan MacPhee) has pulled out of the 2009 Triathlon Season, and has relinquished his positionw with bloggingwithtdisc.blogspot.com. What started out as a normal friday at the TTF turned out to be a stunning and damaging day for the Tdisc community. Tdiscpye left the pool area about 20 minutes within the swim and made no comments to team members or media. He then released a statement at 8:24 am that simply stated the login and password of the blog. At 11:16, he was contacted for comment. He had very little to say and was having a hard time speaking while eating chips. A few of the comments made were :
" I am wasting everyones time and my own."
"I am quiting computer."
" I will take a week or so to rest my injuries and start getting prepared for 2010."
" I'd like to thank the followers of the blog...good support."
"I'm just not gonna be ready for the season...I'm not improving."
" Not happy at all."
Being a part of Tdisc I've learned to expect the unexpected because of the personalities on our squad, but this is something I didn't see coming. I will run the 5k Colonel Grey SADD Run tommorrow but Admiral will sit it out. Tdiscgreggy started his spring vacation today and well Tdiscpye ... what can I say.
As coach of Tdisc I urge blog followers to voice their opinions of todays events on the guestbook page or email me at tdisckree@gmail.com or call Tdiscpye personally at 394-4894 and let him know how you feel.
Keep on Keepin On
