Thoroughbred Yearling Sales And The Games, Scams And Half Truths That Attend Them

Feb 22, 2008
The annual sales for thoroughbred yearlings in Australia and New Zealand are upon us again and as usual there are the attending trainers, bloodstock agents, and staff from the various studs and preparatory farms. Also present will be the ever hopeful owners, some of them veterans of the great racing game, some of them total newcomers who are eagerly looking forward to becoming the proud owners of the next champion thoroughbred.

Horse racing often known as " The Sport of Kings" is great fun, there is no greater thrill than watching a horse you own come first past the post unless you're lucky enough to actually have an animal that wins one of the big Group races, that pretty well puts you into another league.

Thoroughbreds are fantastic animals, beautiful to watch, thrilling to race and unfortunately very expensive. When you consider that traditionally it has been agreed that only about 2 % of catalogued yearlings will eventually pay their way during their racing careers you can see that you need to be extremely lucky or you need some really expert advice.

Well there are some lucky people, but the majority of prospective owners rely on so called "expert" advisors to buy them their champion.

Fair enough you might say but are these advisors really experts? That's a much better question and if you are looking to buy yourself a horse you should definitely have another look at the credentials and the associations of the particular "experts" you might seek advice from.

Ask yourself;

1. What association does the "expert" have with the vendors selling the yearlings. In other words, are they getting a kick back from the vendor to buy their yearlings, or do they own the animal themselves through dummy vendors.

A good way to check the latter is to see if they owned the dam when it was racing,if they did then it's a real possibility that there's still some connection. This is not a rare scenario, so much so that it is often an open secret and those involved think it's perfectly normal to take a commission from both the buyer and the vendor because as they say "everyone does it".

If you stretch a few morals that might be alright providing the animals concerned are sound, but sometimes it's a good way for vendors to get rid of yearlings with faults that would otherwise affect their sales value dramatically. Of course when the horse concerned breaks down in training, the poor old owner is told "that's the risk you take when you go racing" and he has no idea that his very expensive investment was always likely to break down.

2. What's the true success rate of the "expert"?

Ask to be given a written record of the number of yearlings bought by the "expert" and then ask to see their records of the performance of those yearlings.

If you don't do this all you'll be going by is hearsay.

It's a fact that a trainer only needs to have a handful of good runners every season to keep getting good publicity, however over the course of all the sales some trainers may well buy 200 yearlings and with those numbers plus the ones handed to them to train by breeders they ought to get at least some topliners.

The same goes for bloodstock agents, ask to see their records don't just listen to their success stories.

Remember sales records can be checked, hearsay is just much repeated publicity.

3. If you are going to get breeding advice, don't just listen to the usual rubbish of certain nicks and crosses having worked particularly well in the past. Ask the "expert" whether they have analyzed all the failures bred along the same lines. It's easy to take a champion and to say the horse has these particular crosses but that doesn't mean hundreds of totally useless horses don't have the same crosses. The sad reality is that very few so called breeding "experts" have ever done any work on failures.

4. If you are told that a particular stallion is a sensation, again ask how many mares did he serve and what quality were they? Obviously the biggest studs have the biggest advertising budgets and get the best performed mares, the progeny of those stallions should get far more quality performers.Look at the stallion tables to see how many mares,the stallion served,how many winners did he have and how many of those were stakes winners. Then look at the service fee and at how much a yearling by that stallion is going to cost you.

5. Take statements on fantastic confirmation etc. with a grain of salt, an analysis done over a 25 year period showed that the world's most expensive yearlings averaged more than US$2 million to buy and only averaged $200,000 in race earnings. It's a pretty safe bet that all those yearling were supposedly bred in the purple and had superb confirmation. Conversely some of the greatest performers were ugly as sin, small and often had legs that were not totally correct.

When you've asked all these questions ( and a lot more that I'm sure you'll think of as you go through the learning curve ) and you're satisfied with the answers you'll be ready to enjoy a wonderful sport in the knowledge that you have done everything possible and now it's up to fate.

Achille Carelli

 (Active 1852-1873)
Achille Carelli was active/lived in Italy.  Achille Carelli is known for landscape, historical landmarks and Bay of Naples painting.

Biography   Achille Carelli

Achille Carelli, 19th century* (active circa 1852 to 1873).

Son of Raffaele (1795-1854), brother of Gonsalvo (1818-1900) and Gabriel(1820-1880), and the lesser-known member of the Carelli family of painters.  His active period as a painter can be traced to about 1852, somewhat later than his brothers who exhibited in the 1830s and 1840s.  This suggests that he was probably younger than the others, likely born in Naples after 1820.  Achille is referenced in several Southern Italian travel, art and business directories/publications from 1855 to 1873, during which time, his studio was located at 57 Riviera di Chiaia in Naples.  It does not appear that he achieved the recognition and notoriety of his father and broth   ...  Displaying 750 of 3745 characters.

      Interview: DJ Carl Cox

      Page 2 of 2
      Carl CoxInterview

      Credit: TrustTheDJ.comQ: Was DJing a business to you from the onset or was it a hobby that snowballed into a business?

      (laughs) I don't think it would be wise not to take yourself seriously in this business.

      Q: You were married once upon a time; what happened?

      When you have a partnership, you have to ask yourself where you see yourself in the future, and with marriage, you ask whether you want to be with someone for the rest of your life. It was hard to be with someone who was never happy with herself, there is no bitterness now, but it was better to be separated.

      Q: Would you say you chose your career over your relationship?

      Definitely! I chose not to have regrets.

      Q: What would you be doing if it weren't for music?

      I would be in a mental institution. I would not have anything to grab on to without music, that is why I say that. Music keeps me smiling at the end of the day — it gives me strength and joy.

      ¿ Quick fact ?
      Taking extra care to give everyone the chance to enjoy his music, Carl Cox spun a special set for hearing-impaired students at the Swiss Cottage School For Deaf Children in London, in September 1998.
      Carl Cox, Credit:

      Q: You should be in a mental institution either way! One thing that should drive you crazy is the small salary that many DJs earn compared to other artists. Does it?

      No. I am not a guitar player, I do not perform on stage with drums or keyboards. I do not sing. I liked seeing Paul Oakenfold up the ante in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it definitely gave us all more exposure. And we try to give the next guys more exposure. But does it bother me to see other acts sell more and make more? No. Aerosmith is a band, Outkast is a group; I am an individual going up there and spinning tunes. They make more, good for them. It's a different thing.

      Q: You mention Aerosmith and Outkast; would you remix their stuff? In other words, where do you draw the line?

      Good question. You have to be true to the music. It is good to take something and make it different, make it more soulful for example, but it has to be true to the music. If you can do that, then sure, you can touch anything.

      Q: It's safe to say that everything you touch turns to gold. Thanks for the interview, Carl.

India won the Cricket World cup 2011 Trophy

India won the Cricket World cup 2011 Trophy | India beat Sri Lanka to win ICC World Cup 2011

India won the Cricket World cup 2011 Trophy: An inspired India on Saturday night regained the coveted World Cup after 28 years as they suppressed Sri Lanka with a six-wicket victory in a nerve-wrecking final to script a glorious new chapter in their cricketing history.  Gautam Gambhir made 97 and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni smashed an unbeaten 91 off 79 balls as India won the Cricket World Cup for the first time since 1983 with a six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka on Saturday.

India won the Cricket World cup 2011 Trophy | India beat Sri Lanka to win ICC World Cup 2011

India beat Sri Lanka to win ICC World Cup 2011

Sri Lanka, who won the toss and elected to bat in the day-night final, rode on Mahela Jayawardene’s 103 not out off 88 balls to pile up 274-6 in their 50 overs.

India, cheered by a sell-out crowd of 33 000 at the Wankhede stadium, surpassed the challenging target with 10 balls to spare as Dhoni pounded Nuwan Kulasekara for the winning six.

India had slumped to 31-2 by the sixth over when sling-arm fast bowler Lasith Malinga dismissed Virender Sehwag (0) second ball and had star batsman Sachin Tendulkar (18) caught behind in his fourth over.

Gambhir, who was dropped on 30 and escaped a run-out chance on 49, turned the match around by adding 83 for the third wicket with Virat Kohli and 109 for the fourth with Dhoni.

Yuvraj Singh, who was named the man of the tournament, partnered his skipper till the end with 21 not out after Gambhir was bowled by Thisara Perera in the 42nd over when 52 more were still needed.

Dhoni’s men emulated Kapil Dev’s compatriots who won the 1983 World Cup by beating the West Indies in the final at Lord’s in London.

The victory, watched by Indian President Pratibha Patil and Sri Lanka’s head of state Mahinda Rajapakse, was the first occassion a team had won the tournament on home soil.

It was only the third time in 10 World Cup finals that a side batting second had chased down the victory target.

The finale gave Tendulkar, the world’s most successful Test and one-day batsman, his first World Cup title in six appearances since 1992.

The defeat ended Sri Lankan star bowler Muttiah Muralitharan’s dream of being part of a second World Cup-winning team, having won the title under Arjuna Ranatunga in 1996 in Lahore.

Muralitharan, who turns 39 next month, went wicketless in eight overs to end his career with a record 800 Test and 534 one-day wickets.

Confusion reigned at the toss, which had to be performed twice after match referee Jeff Crowe did not hear Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara’s call when Dhoni threw up the coin.

Jayawardene shored up Sri Lanka’s innings before tailenders Nuwan Kulasekara (32 off 30 balls) and Thisara Perera (22 off nine) helped their team smash 63 runs in the last five overs of power-play.

India’s left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan dried up the flow of runs at the start and his two wickets made him the tournament’s leading bowler alongside Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi with 21 wickets each.

Zaheer opened with three successive maidens and then struck with the first ball of his fourth over when Sehwag dived to his right in the slips to remove Upul Tharanga for two.

Fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth lifted the pressure by conceding 15 runs in his fifth over that included a no-ball and a warning for running in the danger area in his follow-through.

Sreesanth, who was preferred ahead of spinner Ravichandran Ashwin after Ashish Nehra was ruled out with a fractured finger, was thrashed for 52 runs in his eight overs.

Tillakaratne Dilshan, going into the final as the tournament’s leading scorer with 467 runs, made 33 when he was bowled by off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to make Sri Lanka 60-2 in the 17th over.

Jayawardene put on 62 for the third wicket with Sangakkara (48) and 57 for the fourth with Thilan Samaraweera (21).

Venn Diagram Explains Nerds, Dorks, Geeks

We spend a lot of time at Astek with brand exercises that have informed us that we are firmly in the geek camp (bright/passionate). I just came across this Venn Diagram at Great White Shark that supports our verdict by clearly delineating us from the socially inept side of the equation. 🙂

La Liga: Espanyol 4 – 2 Atlético

Lacklustre performance by Atleti in match with horrible start

Romaric celebrates his goal (AS)

Romaric celebrates his goal (AS)

Atlético Madrid travelled but failed to turn up in another away match.

On Thursday night, the Colchoneros lost 4-2 to a vibrant Espanyol side, who capitalised on mistakes early on and were more aggressive over the course of the entire game.

Diego Godín, Thibaut Courtois and Arda Turan all returned to the starting line-up after sitting out suspension last week. The biggest surprise in Gregorio Manzano’s eleven was the omission of topscorer Adrián.

We assume Atleti had travelled to the capital of Cataluña with the best of intentions, but not for a second tonight showed the team the will to get their first away win of the season.

Courtois hit a poor kick in the 5th minute and Espanyol pounced immediately on the first weakness Atleti showed. Joan Verdú picked up the ball and scored from 30 meters out after the Belgian ‘keeper responded to the shot poorly.

Moments later Verdú was gifted a second goal. Again he picked up the ball in midfield and he was allowed to run forward without any Atléticos stepping up to challenge him. The Catalan finished his run with a powerful strike to double Espanyol’s lead.

Still Atleti hadn’t woken up and after yet more shambolic defending by the entire team we conceded a third. Nobody was there to stop Romaric on his rampant run, and the Ivorian slotted the ball past Courtois after setting up a one-two with Sergio García to make it 3-0.

After half an hour the Rojiblancos finally showed signs of recovery when they pulled one back, albeit with a bit of fortune. Eduardo Salvio’s cross was flicked on by Falcao with his shoulder and the unconventional way of heading was enough to beat ‘keeper Álvarez.

We almost instantly brought the gap down to one, but Mario Suárez’ header was tipped over the bar by the Espanyol captain.

With Falcao’s goal Atlético were provided a lifeline, but instead of picking themselves up and chasing another goal, the players continued their slump and ridiculed the club even further.

At the start of the second half our defenders rolled out the red carpet for Sergio García and the pony-tailed forward profited from the time and space he was given. He made his way through the penalty box to make it 4-1.

Thievy almost scored another, but Courtois was finally able to make a save and pushed the shot wide. He was also called to action when García and Thievy were allowed to make their way through the Atlético box.

Courtois was one of the few players able to improve his performance during the game, because a little later he made another stop from a header by Sergio García.

Arda Turan, Falcao and substitute Adrián worked tirelessly to make the most out of a match that had already been lost, and the Turk scored a great goal in the 82nd minute to make the score a little more bearable. It was Arda‘s first league goal for the club.

No more goals were scored as Espanyol won deservedly, 4-2.

On Thursday we host Rennes at home in the final round of Europa League group action. Coming off two horrible away defeats we can only hope the team improves their performance, but drastic changes will need to be made.

Line-up: Courtois; Perea, Miranda, Godín, Filipe; Mario Suárez (“63 Assunção), Gabi, Arda (“84 Koke), Diego; Salvio (“46 Adrián) and Falcao.

Goals: 1-0 Verdú (“5); 2-0 Verdú (“7); 3-0 Romaric (“19); 3-1 Falcao (“32); 4-1 Sergio García (“54); 4-2 Arda Turan (“83)

  • Sinan

    To bad Arda’s goal didin’t helped the team… He played a great match.

  • Germany

    time to go manzano!

  • Javi Lozoya

    There goes our CL hopes, but seriously, we have no team no compete in Spain for a CL berth, our defense is a big joke, and our midfield as well, very, very poor performances from both the defense and the midfield, and since our midfield is so poor, we create create very few goalscoring chances in most games recently, but I don’t blame the players and coaches at all, the responsibles for the bad spell of the team are Gil and Cerezo, and no one else.

  • Javi Lozoya

    Offtopic, Ajax was disqualified unfairly, they got 2 legit goals disallowed, the Zagreb-Lyon was a fixed match, Ajax deserves to be in the knock out stages because they are a very competitive team, shame on Platini and UEFA.

  • Javi Lozoya

    Remember the name, Kyle Ebecilio, he is gonna become a World Class player,I have no doubt he will, I have SEEN him and he is pretty damn talented, and Tonny Trindade too, he is gonna become a World Class player just as Ebecilio.

  • Javi Lozoya

    Now more than ever, Gil cabrón fuera del Calderon!, if he remains still in charge of Atleti we’ll never progress again, we’re never gonna win any important titles, we definetely need to take a stand against Gil if we really love Atleti, Atleti has had enough of Gil’s dictatorship, think about it guys, Atleti is sinking every year because of Gil, not because of the managers, not because of the players, just because of Gil.

  • k14

    Honestly the goals was a result of weak defensive midfield, gabi was bad, but mario was indescribably horrible.
    how can ur team concede 4 goals and not commit any foul as a defensive midfielder.
    Todays game would have been completely different if Mario was included.

  • k14

    wasn’t *

  • Abi

    A ‘positive’ result!
    ciao Manzano

  • atletisrael

    Are you sure you want ro reboot your football club?
    F**k yes!

  • FF

    who talks about CL hope!! man stop dreaming we will finish in top 15!!! the best team not relegated!!!!

  • falcao

    what about gokhan tore??
    do you know anything about him??

  • falcao

    im sad because of reyes….we need him

  • falcao
  • falcao
  • falcao

    watch this please

  • ff

    we dont need talents player we need someone like essien or xabi alonso it will be enouuuugh!!

  • falcao

    i know … we need two very good CM, WE ONLY NEED THAT

  • Javi Lozoya

    I’ve seen Gökhan Töre and he is a very good player but we need a defensive/holding and box-to-box midfielder, because honestly, our midfield is very poor, and none of the players we have, (Gabi, Mario) are even good at destroying attacks in the center of the midfield, Assuncao is a good midfielder but he is getting old and doesn’t have enough stamina, and we definetely need a good DM or else we’re gonna suffer for that spot for the remaining of the season.

  • falcao

    gabi is good but mario is very poor
    Assunção is good he should play…but in any case we must buy one DM in january

  • falcao

    i believe in KOKE too,he is a great talent,he will be our base for a few years

  • falcao

    who would you like to see instead MANZANO on our bench……???

  • Javi Lozoya

    Frank de Boer or Van Gaal, they’re both good managers, they like to play Total Football, and they know how to work with young players, I’m pretty sure that the team will improve instantly with any of the as our manager, also, Luis Aragones would be a good option, because he has a strong character and he is the maximum idol and figure of Atleti, he would also improve the team and make it work in my opinion.

  • Javi Lozoya

    How about you Falcao?, which manager would you like to see in place of Manzano?

  • Heißenberg

    it’s best not to think who could or should be new manager, since Manzano will never leave.
    There was plenty of chances to do that but he is still here. We will win the games against Rennes and Betis and we will return to ‘normal’ . These will be one more shitty season…

  • ratchet

    I completely agreevwith you heissenberg. Sorry if my german is sligtly out, but i think that b-like sign is double s. Anyway, would gil ever go, just coz we ask him to?

  • Ringo

    I think Koke needs to be put (and given time for it) in a deep lying playmaking position, since he gives a lot of structure from there on. But the problem is his ‘partner’, a midfielder close to him who knows how to play a bit of football and who’s got some strength, a Yaya Toure kind of player, I guess. Perhaps Mario could grow into that role, but I’m not really sure.
    Gökhan Töre is not the solution this team needs, I guess. All Atleti’s attack needs from now on is a coach who divides their roles in a better way, bettering their combinations.
    You can’t say Arda, Diego, Salvio, Adrian and Falcao don’t know how to play some football.
    When you look at the team you can clearly see the midfield is the problem, the defenders are put under too much pressure, there is no dominance at all. The midfield is the area where control over the game is decided and momentarily Atleti fails to do so.
    With a strong, intelligent and structured midfield, there is less difference between home and away games, as well.

    When you look at games (for Spain and Atleti B) when in the right position, Koke shows he’s always free to pass to and he isn’t to eager to be the hero by only giving long balls forward. He’s, after some time, the player Atleti needs.
    So if they want to buy a guy, go for a big one.

  • Javi Lozoya

    Ringo, perhaps Capoue, Moussa and/or Mohamed Sissoko
    would be the rights guys to lead or midfield?, any of them are quite good, and seriously with Mario and/or Gabi our midfield is gonna still be very weak and poor.

  • Arjit

    Something hit me the other day, Gil and Cerezo will leave the club but it won’t be until they get that 250K euros or so that we will recieve for vicenete calderon when we move to our new stadium. Those mercenaries will be out as soon as the money comes. Also, there’s really not much wrong with our attack, but every single defender we have keeps launching the ball up the field for no reason. Even the “talented” filipe kept kicking and running yesterday. This is the fault of manzano and manzano only. He needs to instruct his defenders to look for options and get mario and gabi to play much deeper in midfield. Or what i would like to see personally, use assuncao to pressure anybody with the ball while gabi stays back behind him as our deep lying playmaker, like the old-school Gattuso-Pirlo combo.

  • falcao

    my suggestions are Hector Cuper,Radomir Antic,Aragones,Pantic

  • Ringo

    Arjit, with Koke + strong guy I meant about the same thing.
    But Koke instead of Gabi.
    Javi Lozoya, I haven’t seen much of them, but they seem to be fitting physically!

    I completely agree about Gabi having to play deeper, I saw that he was playing more like a RW than a central midfielder… That’s a mistake of Manzano’s by not pointing that out or not even seeing it, but it’s also Gabi’s, he should be disciplined enough by himself!

  • falcao

    do you know OSCAR from internacional porto alegre???
    he is a machine

  • falcao
    his worth is about 15mil.
    also we have Marvin Martin from Socheaux
    and of course Ian M’villa from Rennes

  • falcao

    there are also Casemiro and Lucas from Sao Paolo
    we have 1000000000 talented players on that position only we need some money

  • falcao

  • Javi Lozoya

    Marvin Martin is a machine too as well as M’vila, Martin is called the French “Xavi”, they’re fuckin’ great players, good eye Falcao, and Martin supposedly said that he is ready to leave Sochaux and he likes the Spanish league, so there’s a chance to sign him in the summer, and about M’Vila, there’s no doubt he is a great player, but I doubt that he even wants to play in Spain, I’m sure he wants to play in England with Arsenal, and that’s the best thing for his career.

  • falcao

    i’m really sad about Reyes,he is great player who we need…
    i hope he will not go

  • Javi Lozoya

    Ryan Boudebouz and Modibo Maïga both from Sochaux are great players too, keep and eye on ’em.

  • Javi Lozoya

    I agree about Lucas Moura, he is fucking beast!!!!!, he is from another planet, the Brazilian Messi, his style and movements are like Messi’s, no wonder why Lucas Moura has a 80M buyout clause, so I’m afraid we will never ever will get to see him at the Calderon, and that’s a shame because he really is a great player destined for greatness.

  • osmanson

    schuster could also work

  • falcao

    of course..

  • falcao
  • falcao
  • falcao

    we can buy players from Internacional Porto alegre
    we corporate with them
    they have some very good young players

Tri'ing the Pacific Crest Half Ironman

Last weekend I had the pleasure of joining nearly 2,000 athletes for the Pacific Crest Endurance Weekend in Sunriver, OR.

<- Maia, the true triathlete of the family

This three day event had everything from 5k’s to Half Ironmans that weaved through the Sisters Wilderness, giving everyone a chance to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Oregon high desert. I met up with my extending family for a mini-family reunion, and we all enjoyed racing and watching others in the perfect 70 degree weather.

I chose to race the Half Ironman triathlon on Saturday, and was looking forward to “doing a tri” for the first time in years. My open water swimming skills were definitely lacking, and after witnessing the cycling accident on Sand Hill Road last month, I was too nervous on the bike to do long rides (btw, for those following along with this story, Debra has returned home from the hospital and is doing well on her recovery). But I figured I had a good foundation from all the running and could get through without too much trouble. One thing for sure – after all these ultras, the half marathon run was going to feel like a sprint!

The extended Dunlap clan were also signed up for many of the events, providing many opportunities to cheer. When I tallied it all up, here’s what we had on the schedule:

• My 7-year-old niece, Maia, was going to do the Splash/Pedal/Dash
• My father, Larry, was going to do the Olympic distance duathlon
• My step-mother, Sandie, would swim in an Olympic triathlon relay along with my step-sister, Jill (run) and her husband, Mike (bike)
• My mother, Diane, was tackling the 5k after a two-year recovery from heart surgery
• Christi, Sophie, Rocky, Maia, and I would join Diane for the 5k, along with Christi’s brother (Scott), his wife (Erica), and their 2 and half year old twin boys (Cannon and Carson)

Whew! Needless to say, there was someone to cheer for every day!

Maia was first, tackling the Splash/Pedal/Dash like a pro on Friday. Over 150 kids took on the water slide, 1 mile bike, and quarter mile run. As they were sent off two at a time on the chip-marked course, parents circled in a frenzy to cheer them on and take pictures. I was very impressed with how kids as young as five years old did all three sports with almost no help. Maia was great, even kicking it into overdrive for the run! So many budding triathletes. We celebrated like kings that night, eating BBQ and drinking beer until the wee hours. I had so much fun celebrating, I almost forgot I had a Half Ironman the next day!

(Maia swims, bikes, and runs!)

The next morning, my brother, Mike, drove me out to Wickiup Resevoir on a beautiful morning and we tried to estimate my splits so the family would know when to look for me. I hadn’t done an open water swim in years (and had a brand new wet suit to prove it), and I was still burping ribs and beer from the night before, so I figured 40 minutes for the swim. The bike course had changed this year and didn’t have the big climb around Mt. Bachelor, so I thought maybe 2:45 for the bike. The run would largely depend on how the bike went, but I had never run faster than a 1:40 in a Half Iron, so that was a good stretch goal. Overall my stretch goal would be under 5 hours, but 5:20 would be most likely.

(The swim start at Wickiup Reservoir)

I hustled up to my wave just in time for the start, and we were off! The water was cold (~60 degrees), but quite pleasant. I found a rhythm at the back of the back, but continued to burp up a storm (note to self – baby back ribs do not make the best pre-race meal). When the wave behind us caught up, they rolled over me like a speed bump, pulling off my goggles and forcing me to take a quick break to get them back on. I didn’t get too angry – this was the Pacific Northwest Championships after all, so the front-runners were giving it all they had. Another wave caught us as I hit the halfway point, but they were all in a line like a Tour de France peleton. We let the convoy by and did our best to pull into their slipstream. Before I knew it, the swim finish was in sight.

I dashed out of the water and immediately into the port-o-pottie. Those baby back ribs were tearing through me like frayed rope. No worries – I’m sure there would be plenty of port-o-potties along the way. I got my bike gear on, slapped on some sunscreen, and gave my brother a high five as I headed out. The swim took 38 minutes, but the 10 minute T1 had thrown me off my pace.

The day warmed up quickly as we all headed out on the bike. I had on a Sugoi tri outfit that ventilated nicely (Christi calls it the “super hero suit” thanks to the metallic blue stripes). Most of the roads had nice big shoulders to ride on and sparse traffic, but I noticed that my heart would jump when the big trucks went by. I seemed to be the only one though – all the other riders were barreling down the highway in full aero position. I stayed down in my aero bars as much as possible, and kept my power meter on 220 watts. At the half way point, I was averaging 22.5 mph, which was projecting a very fast 2:30 bike split.

(Biking towards Mt. Bachelor along the Cascade Lakes Highway)

The scenery was amazing, as we raced past the Cascade Lakes and through endless hills of pines. I did my best to take a pic, but it turns out that isn’t very safe on the bike (whoa!). My legs felt tired around mile 45, reminding me that I hadn’t done many long rides this year. But I stayed in my pack, and finished up in 2:33. With a not-so-quick change into a new shirt and shoes (and yes, one more port-o-pottie stop), I headed out on the run.

The Dunlap clan was there to cheer me on, led by Maia in her new bright red Flamenco dress. With a round of high fives, I set down the course on a 7-min mile pace. My quads were a bit tight, but the run felt very natural. One of the best parts of being a runner is that you’re one of the few people smiling on the last leg!

One thing I quickly noted about triathletes is that they seem to be more competitive than the ultra runners. If I came up on somebody from my age group (who were everywhere – when is that going to stop?), they would prefer to surge than chat. In fact, nearly all of my humble attempts at starting conversation with “isn’t this a great day?” were met with grimaces of disdain. The few who answered back were often ultrarunners! That’s okay – to each their own.

It felt like I barely had enough time to soak in the wetlands and river area behind the resort when the aid station attendants were shouting “2 miles to go”. I hit one more port-o-pottie (oh Lord, let this be the last) and kept up the speed to finish a 1:38 run leg, good for 5:01:36 and 70th place. I was WAY off the winning pace (sub 4 hour - those guys are FAST!), but was feeling good enough for beer and pasta at the end.

(Bringing it in to the finish; photo courtesy of Christi Dunlap)

After a night of more food, family, and fun, we all gathered along the course to cheer on my Dad in his duathlon, and the family relay. All did very well, with my Dad winning his age group in the duathlon, and the relay team exceeding their expectations. The true hero of this race was my Step-Mom, Sandie. She is legally blind, but still managed to clock an impressive time on the swim course, even in a wetsuit she had never tried before. Given how little I could see during the swim, I have no idea how she did that!

(Larry Dunlap, my Dad, wins the 60-64 age group Olympic duathlon)

(Mike Barnebey, Jill Barnebey, and Sandie Dunlap ace the Olympic relay)

The 5k was also very special. My Mom had been using this 5k walk as a stretch goal for recovering from some new stents put in just two years ago. Like many heart-related procedures, the first year of her recovery involved juggling rehab, short exercise, and a medical cocktail that severely restricted her. She couldn’t travel, walk long distances, or anything. The only way out was a lot of hard work on her behalf – the kind that makes my training seem easy – and a big goal to work towards. I was very proud of her just for making it to the start!

(My Mom, Christi, Sophie, and Erica at the start of the 5k)

I will let my Mom describe the 5k:

Coming in Last

By Diane Dunlap

After a long decline in health that finally led to heart surgery two years ago, last year I had struggled to walk from where the suv was parked to Scott’s swim/bike transition point at this same event. Any thought of walking a mile or a 5k was out of the question. Last year, I was still working my way back to 10,000 step days and cardiac capacity that would let me do any aerobic work. This year, I had another year of training and recovery behind me, and I was ready to try for a new record.

So, on Sunday morning, eleven of us (and Rocky!) lined up near the back of the 5k pack with the other walkers. The race started, the runners off into the 80 degree day on the pine-lined walking and bike paths, followed by the walkers. It took less than two minutes for all of the family and the other walkers to slowly begin to pull away from me. All but Jim Stott, my partner, who had decided to walk with me, just to make sure I was ok. Gotta love him! He’s not a runner—that was his first race ever. It must be love—he strapped on his lawn-mowing Keds and insisted on keeping me company. Then, Scott dropped back to join us—bless his heart! He commented, “I’ve never been last in a race—wonder what it’s like” before spending the next hour entertaining me as only he can. It must have seemed like a glacial pace to him, but he just kept making me laugh and distracting me from the accumulating miles.

So, what is it like to finish last? Well, first I kept moving over on the path and then trying to speed up because there was a car on my heels. I finally turned around to see what the crazy driver was doing, and saw that it was the local police cruiser, and I really was the last person in the 5k! He waved to us when we left the road to go onto the paths.

For awhile, we walked with a nice woman who said she always came in last in this race, but then she “zoomed” ahead when I had to slow down on 1% and 2% inclines. At about the 1 ½ mile mark, 26-year-old Kristopher Houghton of Albuquerque zipped past us on his way to a 32:29 finish in the 10k. By the time we rounded the last turn in the woods and headed toward the sounds of cheering in front of us, we were lapped by two other 10k finishers. I began to have images of the tortoise and the hare! I felt like I was going really fast and long, compared to my prior times, but I was feeling pretty “tortoise-y” in this company!

Volunteers cheered me on at the aid stations, even as they asked if we were the last ones and began to close up their tables. Several people out for a stroll on a beautiful morning suddenly realized, “Oh, you’re in the race!” and moved over, clapping as we “sped” by. Little children ran up on the path and ran around us laughing and hitting “high fives.” When we came to the final turn into the finish gate, the crowd cheered as loudly for us as they did for the duathlon runners who were also starting to come in. I felt like a real athlete as our names were called through the electronic monitor, the announcer said “great finish” and we were shunted into the 5k finish corral.

I found out another part of finishing last—they were out of 5k medals! Doesn’t pay to come in last if you want a medal! But, they took our numbers and promised to send one in the mail. We stepped out of the finishers’ tent into the sunshine and found our family members—already rested up because I took so much longer than they did! I also found that woman who always finished last, who thanked me for doing the honors this year!

So, I completed my 5k in just over an hour, last but for my partner and son who pushed me across the finish line ahead of them. I came in 234th out of 235—I guess someone didn’t finish. I was tenth in my age group! Oh yeah, there were ten in my age group. Didn’t set any records, didn’t make the local news, didn’t get a medal, but I’ve never been prouder of me in my life!

So, I’m thinking next year, maybe I’ll aim for last in the 10k, or the ½ marathon, or maybe even the marathon. You know, the possibilities may be endless!

(That's it, Mom, I'm signing you up for the tri next year! - SD)

  1. Great post Scott!

    Be careful in the Death Ride - remember to save some juice for that last long 5th climb...

    See you at TRT.

  2. Oh my God, Scott, you have an absolutely amazing family! I mean, I am in such an owe...may be because I come from the country where you're either competitive at national level or don't do any excercise after high school at all (as in after years of getting grief from my folks I now hide that I still run)...but the story of your extended family, all of them, not only doing it, but actually enjoying it to the moon and back...I am jealous, and very very happy for each and every one of you. Go, Mam, and Dad, and Maia, you too:) and Dunlap clan! If you are looking for adoptions, think of me, please:)

  3. awesome job, scott. it's so great your entire family can join you for the fun. you totally made the half ironman sound easy. :)

  4. Great job and what a fun family day! I love your mom's "10th in age group" comment.

    And yeah - triathletes and road runners seem to be A LOT less willing to chat in a race that ultra runners. It's an interesting contrast.

  5. I can't believe kids are doing tri's! How far is the splash pedal dash?

  6. Hey Scott:

    Nice post as usual. You make it interesting without going into detailed split times and what not. I would have given up at the first port-a-pottie stop :-)

    I see that your daughter has the Revolution jogging stroller. Do you run with her in it? I ask because I tried out mine last weekend for 4 miles or so. But my wife was really worried that my 7 month old would be 'shaken' by his first trail running experience.

  7. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

    The Splash/Pedal/Dash was a quick slide and three 1 ft deep pools to run through (enough to get wet), a 1 mile bike, and a 1/4 mile run. Fastest time was 8:00!

    Anupam - I LOVE the BOB Revolution stroller, although I don't run on the trails much with it. Roads, bike paths, and logging trails are all game, but if it's single track, I better be walking (I use a Kelty backpack). If your kid(s) are like Sophie, they do like a little shaking to get them to sleep, so some rough road actually helps. We are known to do 10-12 miles on the Crystal Springs trail fairly regularly. It's nice to have the snacks and water in the carrier too!

  8. Your Mom has an absolutely AWESOME attitude and sense of humor. Love it! The way I look at it, even last in a race, is WAY, WAY ahead of the majority of the population. Just getting out and participating makes life so fun and interesting. Someone always has to be last. And, she will not always be last, either. But, for personality and Mom-coolness factor, she is a winner!

  9. Hi Scott,
    Sounds like a great day out for the Dunlap clan.

    Loved your mom's race report as well. Now we know where you got your great blogging skills.

    I hear there is a great baby back rib BBQ place in Carson City, so you can stock up for your 100-miler...

    Take care,

  10. How wonderful! Congrats to you and your amazing family for all the great athletic feats accomplished :D.

    Sounds like you all had a fabulous day!

  11. Oh Scott you have got to stop these blog entries that make me cry! Well it's your mom's fault this time I guess. (Nice job Diane!)
    For some unknown reason I signed up for the international distance of the Donner Lake Tri this year, and like you have done no swimming in, well, years maybe. (Since my last tri?)My swim is 1.5K, and I strongly believe I will know what it is like to "come in last," at least in the swim portion. But anyway, your half-iron was really impressive, so I guess if you can do that then maybe I can at least keep from drowning. Thanks for the inspiration!
    See you in Tahoe!

  12. Great job all of Scott's family, and very respectable swim and bike splits. It's cool your whole family's into it. Those triathlete's are indeed an intense, competitive crowd. Diane, sorry you weren't dead last, but close enough (I had that honor at Tahoe 100 last year, and I'm prouder of that finish than any other). You're awesome.
    By the way, Scott, how did you find my blog? I haven't told anyone about it except my wife?

  13. Mark -

    I used Technorati (see the link at the bottom of the page). It's a free service that tells you what other blogs link to yours. Since you have a link to your interview, it came up.

    Great entry, btw! Congrats on your win at Kettle Moraine!

  14. BTW, for those following the Debbie Weil story, be sure to check out the comments on the blog entry - Debbie left a comment! Sounds like she is making an incredible recovery.

  15. Your blog is the best. So many times in so many ways...

    Great shot of Maia sprinting to the finish!
    Your Dad looks like Superman - now we know where you get it from.
    And your Mom's story had me laughing. Hey, I'm supposed to be going home from work and instead I'm sitting and reading about how fu it can be to come in last.
    So I guess I'm leaving work dead last - and enjoying it!

    PS: So glad to hear about Debbie.

  16. (second) best. post. ever.

    the first best being your Debbie/Mt. Diablo tale.

    this has become my favorite blog. thank you for sharing all of this!

  17. Hi Scott,

    I did the Pacific Crest Half-Ironman run section as a relay with my brother cycling and his wife rocking the swim. It was a beautiful day and fun weekend. Great to read your post. Your mom and dad seem to have provided you with great writing skills and athletic ability respectively.

    David Ross

  18. Way to go Scott. That's a phenomenal time for someone who has not done a Tri in some time.

  19. Hey Scott! I'm a friend of Jill and Mikes! Our daughters go to school together AND Mike and I rowed in college together! I did the Pac Crest 1/2 too! (My 3rd tri overall and 1st at that distance) I'm totally HOOKED! Just thought I'd drop a note and say "Hi"! GREAT race! Congrats!

  20. hi Scott!! Mike Dunlap here. my wife Lori and I just did the Bone Island Half Ironman in Key West. We both finished under eight hours, and I was lucky enough to capture third in the sparsely populated 65-69 age group. Was reading about your experience in the Lake Tahoe swim, and realized that we were complaining about 63 degree water in Florida's January!!! no are awesome, dude!!! Proud to be another Dunlap Family of athletes!! Your Fla "cousins"

I LIVE for comments! Please add your thoughts, let me know you stopped by, etc., and be thoughtful of others. Always best if you sign your name, of course.

AdWords in Gmail: Relevancy of Adverts Improving?

I’ve been dipping into Gmail a bit more than usual of late following the launch of Google Buzz. Seems like the adverts have become a lot more targeted since I last thought about it.

Could be worth revisiting some old campaigns that perhaps haven’t worked in the past, especially those targeting specific geographic locations

(I was seeing a lot of Scotland related ads. Still a bit of relevancy work to do though as one of them was for golf)

The symbol of vegetables, the mascot of the canning company, Jolly Green’s statue in Minnesota is a favorite among tourists and local residents. He’s nearly 56 feet tall, jutting out above the highways, welcoming travelers to Blue Earth. A local radio host has helped launch his fame from a radio show he hosted in which tourists would try the various canned vegetables and ask where the Jolly Green Giant came from.

7: Giraffe Statue in Dallas Zoo, Dallas, Texas

After a major renovation at the Dallas Zoo, designers decided to erect a massive giraffe statue to grab the attention of all passersby's traveling along the interstate. They went for the top prize of Texas, capturing the title of the “tallest statue in Texas” at an impressive 67 feet tall. They needed to get creative in order to reach that milestone, at the last minute they added a single blade of grass to the metal sculpture to put them over the record.

8: Lucy the Elephant, Margate, New Jersey

Lucy is hard to miss if you’re in the area of Margate city. At over six stories tall and 90 tons, she’s a lot of elephant and rightful owner to the title of the world’s largest elephant. At one point, Lucy the Elephant was a host of a bar, a real estate office, and even someone’s vacation home.

9: Vulcan, Birmingham, Alabama

While the sight of the Vulcan statue may be a bit unusual while driving down the highway in Birmingham, Alabama, it is a beloved symbol of strength by the local iron industry. This massive iron statue is the largest of its kind in the whole world, weighing in at 51 tons and towering over 56 feet tall.

10: Hiawatha, Hiawatha Park, Ironwood, Michigan

From the tallest Jesus statues to the tallest iron statues, the Hiawatha statue in Michigan is the world’s tallest Native-American statue. The 52 feet of steelwork and fiberglass engineering weighs in at a stunning 16,000 pounds. It was made in 1964 and weathered the storm over the years. In 2004 it was renovated and celebrated with the revival of the Hiawatha festival to emphasize the importance of carrying on the tribe’s native culture and traditions.

    For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

    George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

    Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife. She may go out once a day to markets whose signs are now pictures because women are not allowed to read. She must pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, for in a time of declining birthrates her value lies in her fertility, and failure means exile to the dangerously polluted Colonies. Offred can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name....

Audible Editor Reviews

Chills abound in Thomas E. Fuller’s original audio play The Hour of the Wolf, a suspenseful piece of gothic horror in the manner of H. P. Lovecraft.

Gruff Colonel Horatio Fitzwilliam and cheerful Doctor Geoffry Stanhope are travelling through the Bavarian Alps when they learn of a deadly wolf that’s been ravaging the hunters in the Duchy of Augsbach. Once they decide to investigate, they’re befriended by Fraulein Ritter, who keeps a dark secret behind an ingratiating facade.

Daniel Taylor and Bill Jackson bring to life the witty repartee of the lead characters in this Atlanta Radio Theatre Company production, which plays up the Teutonic setting and builds toward its eerie climax with deft choices in music and soundscaping.

Publisher's Summary

If The X-Files starred Sherlock Holmes, it would look like this: Colonel Horatio Fitzwilliam, late of Her Majesty's Army, finds wonders beyond imagination as the sturdy companion of the perpetually bemused Doctor Geoffry Stanhope.

It was supposed to be a simple hiking tour of the Bavarian Alps. But something is hunting the hunters in the haunted Duchy of Augsbach, and it is up to Dr Stanhope and Colonel Fitzwilliams to find out what it is.

If it doesn't find them first.

This is an original, full-cast, soundscaped audio dramatization.

    "poorly done"

    And terribly predictable. I was really unimpressed with this piece. There is a lot of fun, very well done science fiction dramatizations on this site - Unfortunately, this is not one of them. You are better off with the 2000x series of stories here.

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Gloria Steinem

Personal Growth • 3 hrs. • Abridged • © 1992

In a quest for a sense of inner contentment and self-worth, Gloria Steinem brings the reader on a journey of investigation and discovery. Steinem reads the text herself in a straightforward and friendly, but not intimate, presentation which is so easy to listen to it invites repetition--thus ensuring the painless relearning of the lessons of the book. It's difficult to tell from the reading that this audiobook is abridged; each section can stand alone. Nonetheless, the listener wished the book were unabridged. Steinem left me wanting to learn more. C.R.W. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 92]
