<p>Happy Birthday, TriBob!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If memory serves YOU were my first friend back on the old forums. Your friendly ways made me feel welcome and encouraged me on. So if there is any gift I can give you on your special day, it is reminding you that you have a very special place in my triathlon heart. Thank you. And happy day!</p>

A friend indeed. In fact, maybe we were at the same party, you shy one you, because Sam Adams (Mr. Winter, thank you very much) greeted me at the little neighborhood bar and grill.</p>

<p>Happy Birthday Master TriBob !!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To second Thor, were it not for your kind encouraging words many many years ago....  Let's just say you softened the edges for an easily intimidated newbie... and I am immensely thankful for you.</p>
<p>Hope you and Sam have a GREAT extended weekend </p>

<p>I am with Thor and Melistic.  I remember your encouraging replies to my posts in many years ago.  Plus every time I hit a seemingly failure, your words of 'nanakorobi yaoki' comes to my heart.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy B-day TriBob! </p>

 

[hobey]

<p>Happy Birthday Tri-Bob!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You were the first person to answer my n00b questions when I joined CR and I thank you for softening my introduction to this wonderful group of people. Hope you have a wonderful day!</p>

Happy birthday Bob! You helped me get my first bike, hooking me up with Genie who was selling hers. That truly opened the door to triathlon for me. Always fun to race with you locally, though not often enough. Enjoy!!

<p>Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppy Birthday!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since everyone is extolling your virtues, i'll jump in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You brought me from a mostly-dead cycling forum over to coolrunning. I you haven't been able to shake me since! Thanks!</p>
<p>p.s. and you helped me decide on my first.. and so far only... coach!</p>

 

[TriBob]

<p>Thanks. I hope your spouses are as happy I got you into this. </p>

 

[TriAndStopMe]

<p>Happy Birthday, TriBob.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of my earliest memories of CR is how you seemed to have an ever-ready supply of links... especially great swim links!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Too funny ... as one of my fellow triathletes commented (after i mentioned how my wife was beginning to complain about training volume) .. " ahhhhh another tri-widow"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I echo the remarks of many. I discovered the MS page on the CR site when I was just toying with the concept of learning how to swim (with purpose).  The environment you helped create made me feel comfortable enough to post and the encouragement from team LIT gave me confidence to try.  So here we are several years later and i'm still at it ... and my wife continues to wonder when i'll get over this 'phase' (hmmm wondering how to break the news <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">)</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Happy Belated B-day TriBob! </span></p>
