Ironman South Africa 2007: Gerrit Schellens and Natasha Badmann win again

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

It is not obvious but Ironman South Africa is one of the tougher races you can do. I have not done any other Ironman races yet but I am sure of this. Lanzarote and UK and Zurich have the hills and maybe some wind, but the Port Elizabeth combination of waves, hills and killer wind [...]

USA NAVY has sponsored this years Ironman World Championship.

Sport is not about nations and conflicts and world championship events are not a place for military recruitment.

US Navy, or any other form of military anywhere in the world, is designed to murder people. I believe that there is always possibility of resolution without aggressive conflict or war.

US Navy also is in control of various nuclear weapons and other WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and therefore is of high risk for the safety of anyone in the world.

Also military budgets are better spent on health and wellbeing rather than expensive defence from imaginary enemies. Why not produce more triathlon races with those gazzilions of dollars instead of investing them on nuclear missiles?

US Navy needs to advertise to find more recruits. Such large budgets need more staff to justify them politically (remember the pre dot com crash hiring spree?).

Please do NOT join the Navy or any other form of military. The guys you will have to fight on the other side are also military - if everybody just quits military there will be no one to fight. It is that simple!

World does not need more soldiers. We need more bakers, doctors, artists and triathlon coaches... Bakers and coaches do not kill each other.
