Me, up in every PTO & athlete post this week ready to argue about burritos.

Still no announcement on British tri team for Olympics. In meantime, had a rifle through appeals process for Kelly D. O'Mara's Triathlonish & left scratching my head over point of appealing on almost any grounds. Even if you win, you'll probably lose. triathlonish.com/p/how-does-the…
