That stinks. I was kinda in the same boat due to tendinitis. It made me fat. I was down to 151lbs the day the tendinitis started. Then I had to back off my training for the tendinitis to dissipate for 3 weeks. Next thing I knew I was 158lbs. 153lbs today, finally getting closer to my 148lbs goal race weight. It's so much easier to climb the lighter I get.

(coming from the 215 pound guy that would kill to be your weight)

I just weighed myself for the first time in months and I'm 155!! I have been doing 3-5 days of heavy labor a week for the last month. I bet it goes into the 140's by tonight. One good BM and a hard day on the bike will knock the stuffing out.

I can't remember the last time I actually weighed myself.

I'll never forget when I was in the 180's when I started this nonsense. Graying out on climbs at crawl speed, and about as unhealthy as could be. I can't wait to get back on top of my climbing game. I'm close, but not there yet. Being 10lbs over my goal weight is frightening to me. It also makes riding my 13lbs bike seem stupid.

Apparently there are nude duathlons.

Seems like it would make the who poo issue a little less messy.
Not me, I am worse than a teenage high school girl.
It helps a lot. Hell just the the difference from my 13lbs bike to my 16lbs bike is a huge difference. When I am 10lbs over race weight, I hate climbing.

There is nude everything. I really do not miss randomly seeing nude bike riders in OR. Not exactly the portrait of health and sanity you would hope for in someone greeting you au natural.

Day off today for some ocean swimming and going out of town this weekend to visit the car collection of Truett Cathy (founder of chick-fil-a). It's nice having a break.

Have fun car girl.
So I just walked outside with the dog to see if the truck had arrived for some furniture we are donating and I hear this loud bang on the metal siding in the back of the house. I'm thinking a tree branch fell but a screeching wild turkey comes running around the side of the house in a blind panic.

Thin with a deceptively strong upper body and powerful legs.

In converse to this however. Last weeks crit race, I rode my 16lbs bike in 15lbs form with the FCCs on it. Still down 2lbs from my 13lbs ultimate speed weapon form bike. The result was 1 position better, and .9mph faster average speed over the previous week's race on the 13lbs weapon. These were both on the same circuit, so it could go either way. I will say however I think I could of grabbed the win in the sprint on week 2 on the 13lbs bike.
