This month I was featured in the “My Favorite Workout” column of Inside Triathlon. I wrote the workout, but Melaina Junti (Staff Reporter) wrote the introduction. I knew she was a cool girl when I received my first email with the subject “love mail” (Ok, so maybe I force you to use that subject on my contact page), and she referred to me as “Dude.” I didn’t realize how cool until I opened the magazine she sent me and saw what she wrote:
With an engineering degree from Columbia University, aspirations of med school and a multi-megawatt smile, Ben Collins is quite the catch. Add the 2007 USA Triathlon age-group national championship overall title to his pedigree and it’s a wonder the 24-year-old isn’t swarmed by women – yet.
I need to update the “about” page on my website, can I just use this intro? Oh, and Melaina, do you have any plans Friday night? Dude?
You need to tell that chick that you’re taken.
Or else.
Brian, you’re wife kissed me Thursday morning. My first kiss from an Olympian.
And Christine says the US isn’t filled with loose women…
Maybe it is just Seattle woman that are.
Christine, are you calling my wife a hussy?!
I will not tolerate such a libelous affront to a lady’s honor. Apologize immediately or feel my wrath.
Ben, please apologize lest he send you a slew of lengthy e-mails. It’s this really your second kiss from her? Please make things right with Brian.
Sorry Brian I was not calling your wife a hussy… but just curious what might your wrath entail?
