So who won? The green ground-pounding gorillas, or the white spear-wielding warriors? That's the dance I'll do before my next race...

Donald,

Pumpkin pie is good stuff. Good thing you weren't at PCTR's San Francisco One Day event, we had three homemade pumpkin pies with home made frosting, 2 pies of the Safeway kind and pumpkin bread which was pretty darn good.

Sure it looks good when they do it as a team but if we did it individually at the races... Although on the races that we are participating together, you could lead a group of us and we could do it as team. I'd prefer not to be the only crazy looking one. Eye of the poodle remember.

So last year's allegations of doping has you out of the race this year huh:) Well I just want you to know I believed none of that stuff, none it. I'd say Steve in a Speedo is definitely one of my favorites.

I played rugby in college and we used to do the Haka before our games. It became a tradition after we had someone on the team who was from New Zealand. Sadly, nobody dressed up in war paint and a thong wrap and pointed a spear at the other team. I'll tell you what though, you will be ready to run through a brick wall after doing it. Do it before a swim start in a tri, and I bet you nobody will want to cause any contact with you.

My problem is that the Pumkpin pie is in my fridge. And a plate...well..that had pumpkin pie on it, is sitting next to me. :)

I liked how you summed it up about people having objections..

"so much for culture"

thats a hoot!!!
but..that is a cool custom.

nice job picking those endurance blogs...theres some diverse blogs...humorous..thorough..deep thinkers...etc... good choices

I think the award should be the best Tri blog rather than Endurance blog. Doesn't endurance have to do with more than just triathletes?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... pumpkin pie. Yum!

As I recall from watching the Whale Rider, women are not supposed to do these Maori, double penis dances. Maybe if I just do them in my head...

Thanks for helping get me in the top 10!!

That video is cool!! I love the "tribal" guy! Intense!! I would NOT want to face that team!! The guy at 1:53 scares me (more than just a little!)

I'm glad that you were able to get back in the pool and start your workouts again. But you'd better stop hitting Safeway! :)
Before your next race, perhaps you should your warm-up if it's going to be anything like the Aussies.

Yowza! That's wild...My next thought is that you ...

My next thought is that you had to go and put it out there for my Mad Monkey husband and his buddies to see...we're in trouble now!

i have a trail marathon on saturday. i am developing a reputation with the trail club for being a little off my rocker. this is JUST the ticket to solidify that.

shoot...i'm going to do this before EVERY run.

2008-11-06T04:15:00.000-08:00

I'll tell you what.

If you do either the Haka or the Dreamtime in full view of the public prior to a race and put it on youtube (or equivalent), then (and only then) I'll do the same.
