Intervention Foiled

Well right now as I am sitting on a jet under the name Jacked Up. Mr Up to the uninformed.

While I am heading at 600mph to my destiny at Soldier Hollow, my Family, Friends, USBiathlon Representatives, Coaches, Adviser's and Coworkers are sitting in my living room drinking Dark Roasted Starbucks by the gallon expectantly waiting my return from what they think is my Saturday morning obligatory hammer session.
What brings a group like that together?

An intervention.

For yours truly, Jackedup old man.

Luckily an unnamed source leaked that the support team that I have learned to count , whom has enabled me to continue my addiction to the sustained dopaminergic release I get from training has decided it is time for Jackedup to own up to the facts.
This Olympic "Craziness", need to be confronted. Why now? It's a mystery to me. Just because My Wife and Kids have not seen me for the last three months is no need to panic.
Tipped off to this attempt to derail the Jackedup train, I decided to stage my own preemptive strike.

Friday was spent at the Courthouse changing my identity to my alter Ego - Jacked Up. Getting plane tickets updating USADA etc all the time pretending I was innocently at work.

As I prepared to continue my delusions, my "intervention group" was getting their iron clad case together to make me face the facts.

They think that this triaining should stop. They cite many reasons.
#1 That I am not contender for the US Olympic Biathlon Team but a middle aged man undergoing a mid life crisis. Unnamed Representatives of the USBA have convinced them of this.

#2 My new "Tiger Claw" technique is insane and proves that I have gone over the edge.
#3 I have a family ( huh? when did that happen) that needs my full attention, and financial earnings.
#4 This is 2009 not 1992, the sport has passed me by. I need to be working on my golf and boccie games, not ramping up some 210 beats per minute roller ski workout on a treadmill.
#5 Even if I made the Olympic team -Who cares anyway!!

My answer:
Jacked Up cares.
And that is good enough for me.
Nice try intervention group, by the time you get this, I will be on the start line in Utah.
Destiny awaits in Soldier Hollow, I will continue to fight the good fight.
Like the Phoenix, I will rise again....
