Lee Gruenfields has this goofy generic race report creator. He states:
Interestingly, everybody who writes about Ironman thinks he’s being original, and spends an awful lot of energy in the process of re-creating the same thing that’s been written before. This is wasteful of the kind of talent that could otherwise be spent doing things like writing the same Christmas letter over and over.
Well don’t you believe it! We love race reports, each of which is unique and special so keep ’em coming!!

What this type of person fails to see is that what we look for in race reports is not the distance its the similarity? Asking ourselves if we could have done that and what adversities were overcome.
