It is one of few things that I do not like about the US, lot of people just seem spoiled (it is a perfect word to describe it but it is the closest I can find).mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006613066389314843.post-6531222615251338832011-11-02T12:36:23.106-04:002011-11-02T12:36:23.106-04:00Totally agree with your assessment.

I don't think it's just about Ironman or triathlon either- but more an outlook on life and things that are 'hard'. Find Tatiana Vertiz. She won 20-24 age group at Kona and writes a rather honest blog... Obviously not eastern European but certainly not American in her thoughts process. From my coach's perspective, I would have to say that I'd like to take a whole crew of athletes like you... ;)Michelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006613066389314843.post-42167159085888339272011-11-02T11:21:31.398-04:002011-11-02T11:21:31.398-04:00From my blog, people expect that I'm some sort...From my blog, people expect that I'm some sort of monster at races; then they meet me and find out I'm way more laid back than I pretend to be. <br /><br />I'll keep an eye out for Slovakian women triathlete blogs... but would you be furious if I found a Czech one?SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.com
