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

Dark Tuesday

I'm sorry to inform yas that today's race was canceled due to limited participants. As you have probably heard...Tdisc has had some troubles the last couple days. Tdisc however will not be folding...they have solved there difference's and are ready to move forward. In the wake of monday's blow up, Tdisc decided to go on there own today. More info to come.
I went for a short jog than a swim tonight. I slept in this morning and didn't really feel like working out tonight but forced myself through it and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Today my food addiction flared back up which consisted of meals like, timbits, caramel eggs, score trifle, doritos, and just straight chocolate chips. Tonights workout may have gotten be back on the right path...I have breakfast set out for the morning.
Tdisc is back at it tommorow with weights and a swim.

Till next time,

Tdisc on the brink!

What should have been an ordinary monday was nothing but that. On a normal day Tdisc usually sends around anywhere from 3-5 emails. Today 14 emails were sent around trying to figure out what went wrong today. It was than that Tdisc decided to hold a news conference to determine the state of the team. Not much was decided by then....Tdisc went into the news conference still up in the air, however Tdisckree and Captain Tdiscgreggy addressed the media at the news conference.

Tdisckree
"In the wake of today, I am putting things on the line....pushing the envelope and really opening up myself to backlash but I truly feel this will make the team stronger and more focused going forward. This is my proposal...oh yeah I am not quiting or retiring. Once again this is my proposal... As of today Feb. 16 The TEAMS FOR the REd Island Relay will be as follows : 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." Tdisckree.

Captain Tdiscgreggy

First off, this is off the record but as Captain of T.Disc I was greatly disappointed in even joking around about quitting T.Disc. This has been more than a team, more than friends, this is a way of life. T.Disc has been there for us in the low Mondays, and the high Thursdays, it personally has got me through a lot of hard times. Not sure where I would be without T.Disc, so if I hear one more bullshit comment about quitting or retiring, we are putting the admiral in charge of workouts.
My thoughts on today, is that the admiral without a question was not happy with the workout today, and you know what? We are all allowed to have those days, some of us just take it out in different ways. No matter what happened we all got through the workout and all had a great sweat. Today is over with, now we can focus on Krees suggestion.
I do not want to pick favorites, and I don’t think we are. 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.
Just some thoughts, I hope everyone’s day is going well. Great workout this morning, it pays to lay off the party scean for a weekend for sure. Feel great, and can’t wait for tomorrow.

RACE DAY!!!!

TDISCGREGGY

I need a night to sleep on the events that transpired today. I'll be running as an individual without a team tommorow on race day. I'm not sure I like the direction the team is going in. We'll see what happens tommorow on race day. Tdisc is a lot like bob gainey....patient....may wait to long to pull the trigger.

Till next time,

Tdiscpye
