Drafting

Originally posted by beireland I still don't take cheap shots at people in swims even when they might deserve it. I do get angry and upset and maybe will refuse to surrender a line but when you start intentionally trying to injure people, you need a different hobby. These were not cheap shots, they were told if they kept it up they would suffer the consequences if they persisted. I was always in the money and these guys tried to steal it. It did not happen often especially after they knew I did not like to be harrased. I am a very gentle guy, fair and was always considered by many of the people I raced as a guy they could depend on for help. An Argentinian one time came up to me at the start and smeered vaseline on my eyes so my googles would not stay on. He wanted me out of the race... should I let him do this. George
