I'm not discussing the length, I'm correcting GOM.
Ah well, in that case, Gom, Mouse is right!
(and my Garmin says 110 as well
)
But if it's long enough for Chrissie, it's long enough for me!
I was talking about IMDE, not Roth, and was not taking into consideration the difference in length of the two routes, and was not in no way comparing the length of the two routes together in any way shape, or form!
IMDE by itself was by all accounts, 185km, 115miles!
Anyway, what do I care, I have retired!
Whenever me and my mate ride, her Garmin always measures less than my Cateye.
And on another note - first toe nail just came off!
just caught up with al the reports................
I love reading them all.well done
GOM - give up! IMDE was 3 miles long, so 115 miles, and Roth was two miles short, at 110, so ner!
they're all too long in my opinion, apart from the little big woody, the most famous long distance middle distance tri
HA ha ha! I'm not saying FB doesn't have a lot of muscle but a substantial part of the excess is not muscle! I'm a big muscley girl but I bet I could lose 5k w/o before having to think about muscle loss.
I also agree that the difference between IMDE and Roth this year was 5miles
you been peeking haven't you??
I do not deny that I have some weight I could lose - just look at my IMCH 2005 pics if you want to see a leaner me but even then I still weighed 95kg!!
it's the old exercise/life balance
and I'm off the beer till after Outlaw
(Lean and fit being adjectives in this context, of course, not verbs.)

Absolutely. I'd like to be faster but not enough to do everything that it would take.
I'm not overweight from a health perspective Jj but there's little doubt that I would run faster if I lost a bit of weight. I'm just not keen to do the recording of my intake that it would require. And I definitely have more muscle than most women.
I seem to be unusually healthy and resistant to injury which I think might be a benefit of not being that lean.
[wobbles off to glare at a bicycle]
Ah, the old weight debate. I'll not deny there's an advantage on the run in particular from being leaner, but at the end of the day it's more important to be at whatever weight is natural for your level of activity. Trying to lose weight by dieting while training for long distance tri is never going to come out well. Training needs fuel after all, and we're not pros so if you like cake & beer, why not?
Anyone got any chocolate?
sorry - the toblerone I bought on the ferry has gone now...
did you get the shield btw??
I didnt even go on a mega strict diet, just been watching what I ate for 12 months.
I was tugging the bowser then....
Is that a euphamism?
I put on a whole stone training for IMDE - I think I confused hunger with thirst and I think it shows a flaw in my training/nutrition during that time. It really upset me.
Now I have to eat salad.
Pleh! (tm Jj)
