I'm not bad-ass or anything. I just train hard, ride my bike, and try to be a nice guy. Don't know if succeed or not, but I try.
Time standard for the talent pool is 1:04.16 - I was a little slow. Doubt the Fed will want to take a slow 40-year-old to a World cup, but hey, if you guys want to petition Pat McDonough, I know I have a better kilo than that in me. Of course, tell Pat I'll need to know soon, as right now I'm just sitting around getting fatter. I would have to get the bike back out and actually train.
I'm really just satisfied right now. I have busted my ass for three years. This year I missed a total of 4 workouts, and only 2 due to illness or laziness. One of those was because I couldn't breathe for all the coughing I was doing (in February). So, I guess I was really lucky, not being sick when it counted, having a great coach, and having a great training partner. I'm not lucky to have a great wife - I chose well there.
In closing, I'll just say that if you chose a non-olympic event that few or none seem to care about, pick the right time to show up, do a decent time, yes, you too can be an elite national champion, just like me. But I AM and Elite National Champion, and no one can ever take that away.
And I don't smell like chamois cream. And I don't use product. My flattop stands proud all by itself.

Next time you're in Boston I've got a case of Pawtucket Pete with your name on it... we can sit back, get fat, get drunk, and talk in nerdy engineering terms to scare off the punk-ass Harvard/MIT dipshits 2/3 my age and half of yours.
Having a wife isn't so bad... I certainly enjoy having yours from time to time.
I have not, but would be happy to.
