Matt is his name cause he doesn't deserve a nickname yet. And he is being very cautious around us as well so he doesn’t earn a bad one. New to the Team in 2008, he lists sleeping, flying, eating and yes, training as things he should be paid a salary for. This young 23 year old is single and available and is currently in training to become a military Pilot. It was during Basic Training that a friend’s war stories about Ironman got him interested in the sport. His most favorite training mistake was cracking a leg bone after pushing to hard to soon in a Half Marathon. Needless to say, this is his most memorable moment as well. His biggest motivation in Triathlon seems to be a need to finish an Ironman (note: his friend was a single good looking female). He claims to look good in all sports gear, but I notice the rest of the Team jotted some contradictory notes on the side…. And when asked if he would beat Swiper in 2008, he got a scared look and refused to answer (note: I don’t blame him). When asked what he likes best about Tri-Force he said “This is Tri-Force???? I thought I joined ….) and I clipped his wings.
2008 Goals- Complete his first Triathlon/ Wave to Swipes as he rides by him on the bike (Note: Swiper will be spectating) 2010 Goal- Getting ready for Ironman
Jay "JayBird" Steele
Major JB front left on a recent rescue of two downed pilots
JayBird is his name. Speedis Gonzaleez is his game! This 34 year old Sagittarius has done the impossible and added even more handsome to our Team! He is a Captain in the Air Force and currently is the pilot of the most successful Search and Rescure Team in Canada! When not rescuing damsels in distress, he can be seen flying "touch and goes" from the Airport with his CC-130 Hercules right over Swipe's work place, just to ensure Swiper isnt sneeking in some extra running or weight training.."Ahh roger, this is Air Command calling Swiper...put down that bar bell, over..." His most embarrassing moment in Triathlon didnt occur till he joined the Team when he had to explain why the single AND married girls all park their bikes on all sides of him??? His most successful moment was explaining to us that with his good looks and Airplane he could potentially attract all the babes to our Team! (are we losing focus here??) His favourite part of Triathlon is the bab...I mean the run and least favourite are the guy...I mean, is the bike but he has already dusted most of us in the swim and run so its only a matter of time before he goes from prop to jet engine on his bike! When asked what he thinks about at the 15k portion of the bike he said "I wonder if Krank's arms are really that much better lookin then my chest???"... And finally that all important question "Do you think you can beat Swiper at any race in 2008?" and he said "with his good looks and charm and big airplane and hairy chest" (at this point I thought he was talking about me..) "chances are he would be coaching the Team by..." and I sealed his lips shut with model airplane glue and went back to my weight lifting....
2007 Goals- Its all Sprint with a little Olympic thrown in Long Term- Forgot to answer this one and Swiper is tired of improvising....
