BDoTW

A new colum will start to make an occasional, regular appearance on the blog.

The "Big Dealer of The Week" post will highlight significant feats from around the globe by persons who have demonstrated their fortitude, resilience and overall 'commitment to the cause'.

This weeks BDoTW shows how improvisation in adverse conditions can prove the difference between life & death.

Man Survives for three days on Frozen Beer

A man in the US has managed to survive nearly three days trapped in his pickup truck by eating cans of frozen beer.

Clifton Vial couldn't dig his truck out of a snowdrift in western Alaska.

He had no food or water and no coverage on his mobile phone.

The 52-year-old was eventually rescued and the ordeal left him 7kg lighter.

Clifton has not only shown the true meaning of the catchphrase 'survival of the fittest', but also developed a novel strategy for shedding those unwanted winter pounds. There's a spot at the next Team meeting/Bar for you Clifton if you're ever in town. Also the head instructor of 'Freddys Skid School' will more than likely be in attendance offering some advice.

Now for those readers that are struggling to keep up with the amount of new posts recently, rest assured this weeks activity has been an anomaly (akin to TBD moving himself anywhere physically). However, if readership does pique into double figures, posting frequency will be readdressed accordingly.

Until then, senior Team leadership are going international this weekend on a recruiting drive. So any questions regarding calorie consumption and off season training hours can be directed to the slowtwitch forum.

Blog, out.

Rolling in the Deep

As the year comes to close, a few things happen; Team Leadership gets restless, the blog gets updated, Team Members reminice about their seasons results- and wonder if they'll be any faster next year and planning for the 6th Annual Boys Night starts 24hrs prior to it taking place.

So a brief summary of the current facts for those that care to read them;

Current Team Leaders PPBD & LLBD have switched to a high intensity training week structure involving pool sessions, UFC training and plenty of sleep.

TBD: Has been MIA since November 2008, word on the street he has been looking at mobile home pads at both ends of town. No longer exercising.

DBD: No longer in a speedo. Current training hack for Team Leaders. Has been tapering for Boys Night and will look to utilize his excellent winter altitude navigation skills this weekend.

ABD: Has been diligent in adding some Brain to the Teams Braun. Collected more trophies this season than Justin Bieber. Will use experience to get through this weekends activities.

KBD: Recently lost a shootout in Arizona, assures fans that it was just a flesh wound. Will bring the 50. calibre and his military drinking skills to the ranch this weekend. Has followed The BBD's advice to be more 'social' and joined twitter.

BHBD: Now branding cattle and chickens at the ranch. Purchased 6 more more pick-ups for boarder runs. Brining a new type of therapy to the table in 2012 involving a taser.

PBD: Invested in a house on the lake (again), and a super light weight, aerodynamic, wind tunnel tested travel trailer with capacity for one tub of gatorade and a foamy. Still riding outside.

LBD: Moving up the food chain, membership still valid if he brings more than a six-pack this weekend. Now owns 4 cats, 2 budgies & a hamster. Taking orders for Team toques & scarfs. NOW OFF THE TEAM, suspension iminent. Back on team until 12pm.

EMBD: Still exercising & not even close to 200lbs. In charge of writing Team training protocol for next season. Has grown Teams equipment hut exponentially, in the running for 'Big Dealer of the Year'. Still confused by Team acornyms.

BDC: Keeping the Team spirit alive in the next valley with borscht, country music and the odd 6 hour commute. Will be back on the horse next year.

VBD: Newest Team member, still on probation. Recently violated team code by wearing a moustache after Nov. 30th. Going 'international' next season.

BBD: In the far north financing next seasons Team activities. Only member who got a tan this year at the Big Show. Keeping up designated Bachelor status to ensure the Team stays grounded during future festivities.

If you didn't make the list you may have done too much or too little exercise, that can be rectified this weekend at the BIG K Ranch though. Standard equipment required.
