Dwayne Posted As Missing In Action

[[old] Cant Climb]

I have been following the Chad threads from Day one......<br /><br />I don't know who to believe, no one has any reason to believe Chad more than Dwayne<br />or vice versa. I never met Dwayne so i can not vouch for his character, can anyone here...?<br />Seems like a decent enough guy (Dwayne) though.....<br /><br />I hope Dwaynes times are real because as a fan of athletics i find them marveling....<br /><br />But entering one soild time at a sanctioned public event would put to rest any doubt,<br />......beyond a reasonable doubt......

Dwayne, you were kind enough to send me a summary of how your 2k went. It would probably be something that would interest a lot of people so would you be ok with me cutting and pasting it into this thread. It was sent as a PM though so I will only do so if you are ok with it.<br /><br />I so nearly got your time on Saturday ... admittedly, it was only afterwards that I realised I was a few tenths short and I went as quick as I could but I'll get you one day, old man.

I believe you have alot more potential left in you. I can even see you hitting the low 40's, if not the high thirties someday.<br /><br />Congratulations on your hammer. Well deserved.

Cheers Dwayne - I believe I can get down to maybe even just under 5:40 but the gains are going to be hard fought from now on. I think my current form is around 5:44 on a good day so still some way to go though.<br /><br />Here is your PM from shortly after you did you 2k.<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--quotec-->Graham,<br />Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.<br /><br />Do I think I could have gone any quicker - In a nut shell...no way. I started the piece all off the mark. Started my SR way to slow. I've been doing so much distance and steady state stuff as of late, I just wasn't thinking. My first 500 (or so)m was at a 26. Not really how I need to get this thing off.<br /><br />So I kicked up the SR to around a 38 to lighten up the handle. But of course by the time I hit the 1600 to 1700 mark, the handle was still way to heavy. Really felt like stopping at this point, but the word 'Chad' kept popping in my head. Sooo...stepped the last 250 to 300m in at around a 50 spm to finish. One word...TOUGH!!!<br /><br />But I think even if I had made the start the way I normally do I couldn't have pushed it any faster. Just a feeling, can't really explain it. I really think this was my fastest.<br /><br />Anyway, the splits are below...<br /><br />500 - 1:25.6<br />1000 - 1:27.8<br />1500 - 1:26.6<br />2000 - 1:26.2<br /><br /><br />Dwayne<br /><br /> </td></tr></table>

But I didn't really "know" that, preferring to give him the benefit of some doubt that he'd be able to show up for the event.<br /><br />After all, Boston is closer than South Africa.<br /><br />I certainly didn't mean to accuse Dwayne of not showing up.<br /><br />Did he show up?<br /><br />As posted before, I looked at the results and 51st place in his division was 7:51 and his name is not showing up there anywhere.<br /><br />Maybe his time was so fast that it ran off the end of the page? <br /><br />If you know his time and place, please do let me know, as I would like to find out what it was.<br /><br />Thanks much!

[[old] mpukita]

Let's all face what this is ...<br /><br />Chad has no information ... no "goods" ... and, he's not the shrewdest guy around either, that's clear.<br /><br />In essence, he's like a prosecutor who has a big case in front of him, lots of publicity in the newspapers and tabloids, yet no evidence ... because the police did a rotten job, or the defendant is innocent. He has no idea, because he has no idea ... he's clueless. No data to work from. But, he's gotten caught up in the mayhem, and has promised the public that he will get a conviction of the defendant, because his ego has outpaced his character, so he's got to stick to his guns and do what he can to save face. In essence, he'll sell his soul to get a conviction, whether the defendant is guilty or not ... because he's not honorable, he only cares, selfishly, about his own career and his own hide.<br /><br />So, what does he do? He keeps pounding and pounding on theories, innuendo, rumours, insinuations, hoping that the defendant will somehow implicate himself by "slipping up". Once again, no care on the prosecutor's part if the defendent is really guilty, and if the "slip up" is just that, a mistake. Once again, this dishonorabe prosecutor cares for nobody or no one but himself.<br /><br />And, he keeps telling the jury, right from the opening statements and arguments, "I have the goods. I have the smoking gun. I will see you convict this man!" because he has to ... he has nothing else. Drag it on as long as possible, maybe the defendant will slip up ... maybe the delay will uncover some evidence ... although deep down inside, this dishonorable character knows the truth ... this defendant can't be convicted because there is no evidence other than rumour, innuendo, theory, feelings, and crap, which is no evidence at all.<br /><br />This is the story of Chad ... Sad Chad ... Miserible Chad ... imagine having to live like Chad ... where the only pleasure you get is in tearing someone else down, not performing yourself. Awful. Miserible. Terrible. Sad. Sad Chad.<br /><br />That's all this is ... sadly ...<br /><br /> <br /><br />-- Mark

Please, no more defense moves like that! <br /><br />I'd say Chad is more like one of those guys who wants to convince us that he really was abducted by aliens -- and probed and probed and probed. He just doesn't understand why no one will believe him -- the proof is all around us, but we are all too blind to see. The more we don't believe him, the more he has to try to convince us. He has to convince us in order to convince himself that he is not deluded. On the other hand, maybe . . . .<br /><br />Or maybe Chad sees himself as the doctor in the original <i>Invasion of the Body Snatchers</i>. He's trying to save us all from a dreadful menace, but it seems so terribly improbable -- until the truth is suddenly revealed (or reviled, as the case may be). So, if a truck crashes in California, and they find large seedpods in the back, metamorphosing into world-caliber indoor rowers, I will give Chad his due.<br /><br />In the meantime, let's just let Chad "revile" himself.
