Drinking is good - what did you have? 3/4 of a bottle of Syrah. I was going to rest the liver tonight, but after working 10 hours and getting home so late, I figured what the he!!.
Is that a type of wine? In my recollection, it's a lovely, wonderful, slightly sweet white wine.
YUM! I need to get my hands on some of that. Currently I am partial to a nice glass of rose wine. But I don't drink very often because as I get older, the less it takes to get me drunk. Currently after 2 glasses I'm gone!
TOPPAGE!!!

Is that a type of wine? Yep, it's actually the same thing as Shiraz, quite popular in your part of the world! But the California ones are called Syrah. Same grape. It's red, quite tasty. |

Each sport? Dunno. I have only completed one IM and didn't formulize or use a plan - I winged a lot of training. I know that my peak was a 20 hour week about 4 weeks or so out, then ya taper. It depends, too, on what needs improving. Mine would be the swim, so I will focus a little more this year on that. Most of the time will be biking - peak time will be based off how long it takes to complete the century ride. I love the physical training, but there is more than that - there's a BALANCE of everything else, like sleep, social time, nutrition.
My hat goes off to anyone that can manage their life in such a way to fit in IM training. 20 hours a week, holy crap!!! Yes well those of us lacking in lives choose to do Ironmans |

My ankles are swelling up again so Im getting compression... Just trying to decide whether socks would be better than the calf thingys and how on earth do you work out size... Help???
Theres a chart on the back of the pack. On Skins anyway. And if you're borderline, its better to go down a size.

I always get the pleasure of sharing with some guy who could rival King Kong when it comes to body hair. FOR GODS SAKE GUYS, SHAVE THAT SH*T OFF!!!! It makes me long to go to a triathlon and look at all those smooth shaven bodies. I usually get awkward breast strokers jump in the lane with me just as Im getting into my rhythm... Or freestylers who just shouldnt... and both kinds 90% of the time will hit the wall right infront of me and push off to go again... meaning I spend lap after lap in frustration... The only positive is that swimming late last night the pool was REALLY quiet... the outdoor pool had only 2-3 people per lane in some lanes and only 1 person in a couple of lanes so it was just so much more pleasant.
Thats why I swim in a squad! People in my lane are all about the same speed and there's a coach telling you what to do so you don't get bored. Plus everyone is doing the same thing so you don't bump into each other, do different stokes etc etc etc

I would love to, except in my area there's only one master's swim team to go by (even though they have workouts all day at several different pools) and the absolute minimum fee (limits you to one workout time, one pool) is $89 U.S. per month. |
