Attention Big Dog
It has been proclaimed that Big Dog's recent sookiness will be forgiven and he will be added back to the Dribble if he fulfills the following:
* Makes a 'Sorry' t-shirt and wears it to all offical Team QUON functions
* Writes a Sorry poem and posts it to the blog
* Takes a photo of himself hugging a ginga and posts it to the blog
* Kindly offers to take Tonii's officiating duties (in return for beer)
Team QUON may even forfeit all of the above if Big Dog makes a simple heartfelt apology.

Quon Championship Still up for Grabs!
ALL,
The Baby Jesus and Smup are still in the running to become QUON Master. After the Family Tri and the Ironman Spectacular, Smup and Thommo have raced back into contention. Smuppy was voted Spectator's Spectator just ahead of Reidy. The rock was in 3rd place followed by Garry Codkin, Nath, Joseph and OOOli.
We have two remaining events; the QUON Beer Skulling Championships and International Performance of the year. With Thommo all but sewing up the International Performance of the Year and Smuppy's amazing skulling ability, it is sure to be one of the closest finishes in QUON history.
Word on the street is that the Baby Jesus may even be around for the end of season function! This could be the difference between QUON glory or not. Watch this space.

Direction required from the QM
Dear Jason,
There are two questions which has caused much angst over the weekend that require clarification;
- We need to understand the true mean of the word compulsory, its use in the related context and the implications associated! If the 'Quon family triathlon' was 'compulsory Quon event', does this mean that any Quoner that failed to attend is then illegible to be a Quoner?; attend functions?; wear the club colours?
- When is the 'end of season drink'. Traditionally we have rode the crits, pooled our money for the end of season drink. The presentation is seperate, this is our mad monday. When is this scheduled, or should we engage an 'old bull' to organinse it all?

it "IS" all about me
I do not mean to detract anything from Baby J's performance last Sunday. The guy is awesome!
But, putting things in perspective, the 8:53 time that I did over 12 years ago, just goes to show what a great athlete I am.
The technological advances that have occurred in both equipment and training methods, course layout and supplements, (and porn) just show that I truly am a fantastic athlete.
Who was better; Steve Waugh or Don Bradman, Micheal Phelps or Ian Thorpe, Grant Kenny or Ky Hurst. Comparing eras will always provoke arguments, and that is not what this post is about.

I just want RESPECT!
I don't care what the Rock thinks; I am a supreme athlete and I deserve respect!

Smup and the Princess by a Nose in the Innagural Family Sluggo's Triathlon
'Smup and Princess Simon beat Radnell/Connell in photo finish' What a race; the weather was superb, the racing was QUONtroversial and the final result was a photo finish. Overall line honours went to the Uber Butlers (Mick and Dixie); Dixie proving to be the differnce in a blistering final run leg. However, winners for the day were Paul Smith and his Princess Simone. They pipped the Radnell/Connell combination by the smallest of margins (0.2 of second).
The start time was slightly altered to 2.15pm due to our real estate agents running on real estate agent's time. The Rock and Zany arrived fashionably late enough for the crowd to build and the tension to be at an all time high. With pre-race withdrawals from 50-1 outsiders the Almighty's and 1000-1 outsider Uber Ginga, the racing was always going to be tight.
Competitors had the option of a 200m swim or a 1km run to start proceedings (due to blue green algae concerns). As a result, Team Baby Jesus and the QM and his sponsor went out to an early lead on the back of some beautiful running from Sam Thommo and the Sponsor. The bike leg saw Joseph the Butler power around the course and close the gap to Baby Jesus and QM who embrawled in a holdsy-handsy-athon bike ride.
As if shaving your nuts every day isn't enought; Rads' Nads were in full effect on the bike as he powered around the 8km's in nothing but his speedos. He said after the race "I felt liberated". Indeed.
The kids of the QUON showed that we may have some future superstars in the making. Bella Terra has excellent running technique (when the crowds are in view, much like Zany) and the pebbles looked more like climbers than their old man. The Preston boys had lightning quick transitions and powered through the bike course ala Scotty in '93. Jacko had dropped Scotty on his way back into transition.
Charli was seen barking orders from her high chair on the bike. Wonder where she gets that from?
The Spillane clan looked ever the athletic family. LL cool J's (Livvy and Lexi) breezed around the course with consumate ease. One of them will represent Australia one day, you just wait and see. And not as an age group triathlete like Crafty. However, the day belonged to the Smuppy and his Princess who pipped the Radnell/Connell favourites by a nose. Their overall predicted time was within 20 seconds of their actual time. Well done to all. Final Results and an updated ladder will be provided after the big dance.

He Will Rise Again This Sunday
Whilst the majority of the world believe that He will rise again on Sunday 12th April this year, those of us in the know are fully aware that He will actually be rising again one week early this year. He will return at Port Macquarie this Sunday the 5th April.
Good luck Baby J on your maiden trip over the long distance. May you bring back the dollars and a ticket to Kona.
Oh yeah, good luck also to the QM, Uber Ginga, and Bruce Almighty.
