THE JAG - ed. by Josh Minogue Last week I got called a lucky hack, give me your best. ----------------------------- Sydney Water Starts. It all started when two kids from the gong had nobody to race now everybody‘s doing it, kicks off at Shellhabour this weekend with rounds at Warilla, Towradgi and Thirroul. Please remember to keep your phones and wallets out of sight and lock your cars, especially ‘Rilla, those kids are sketchy. SIQS Dates. So we’re set! The real series is locked in and what an adventure we’re going to have…. Is everybody excited about crashing Whiteys house when we go to Wollongong??? Did anyone say old school house party Nugget??? PS who is the after party co-ordinator this year??? Let’s get this thing going… Tommy Fraser Holmes. How good is it to see Olympian and all around good bloke TFH back in a scull cap. All the swimmers will have something other than cycles, heart rates and distance sessions to talk about. It’ll be epic to see Ky vs TFH... if the swim wasn’t boring, it’d be great to watch. In love with Caine. Sunshine Coast Ironman believes Caine’s the one. That’s the headline that plastered the Sunny Coast Daily last week. In my defence I do get a funny feeling whenever I race him, but it’s usually just the lactic acid, he’s all yours Luke. Avoca’s rolling rolling rolling whatever. Is there a club anywhere that parties harder than Avoca??? We all saw some of the quality photos they threw up on the weekend from their ride/crawl/bender…. Bikes and black teeth great combo… If I wasn’t such a lightweight it would be epic to go and party with the boys but they hate me and I am no fun. I did enjoy one night out with Benny Hamo in Bali this year, at the infamous Alley Cats, all I can remember is him saying to me “you wouldn’t drink with me!” and ordering 14 double doubles. The next day I woke up in a rice paddy field with a man who looked like Rayden from street fighter screaming something about owing him 40,000 rupee for two chickens….. best night ever. Top 5 handlers of all time. The number one handler. Can you call yourself the best?? Luke is the self proclaimed ‘number one handler’ expert heckler and does most of his best work at the bar post race, reminding everyone that he is in fact the number one handler. Talks the talk but do we care? Richard Hancock. Not only did Rich raise two professional Ironwoman daughters; he managed to keep most of the boys in the sport away from them. Well Played. The image of Richard sitting on a front porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun somewhere in Sawtell springs to mind. Hannah Minogue. Gets a mention because as I jumped off the ski in the 2009 Gold, Super handler Han was meant to hand me a banana. She unpeeled it, dropped it in the sand and still gave it to me, sooo imagine getting a mouthful of sand mid race, epic transition. Ian Poole. The Uber handler, can handle anything! Except maybe a cotton shirt. Has the uniform sorted too... 40 degrees in Perth: Beanie and no shirt. 9 degrees in Portsea: Beanie and no shirt. Night club post series: Beanie and no shirt. Loves it. Pat Norton. The representative and man in charge of the handlers union. Good time animal, nobody has more fun or runs more red lights on scooters in WA. Did miss one handling job, in the marathon Kellogg’s race in perth 3 years ago, apparently he got caught up on the nudist beach, trying to find his pants, willing to do anything to get the job done….. Anything. The Sinner. Ask and you shall receive, after my little run about Jeremy Cotter last week, the boys up here thought they’d stitch me up and tell me he had read my rant and entered the gold to smash me. Safe to say I spent the day curled up in a ball in tears. Nice job. The Saint. All the guys and girls who have entered the Gold, it’s a rough day so good effort about putting your foot on the line and having a crack at the toughest day in our sport…. You can look forward to waking up red and rashed on Monday, and that’s just from the Sunday night at Melba’s.
