Expert  1203  |  Subject: Clydesdale Weight???I just stumbled on this and was trying to figure out how you determine if you are a Clydesdale? Is there some BMI type formula? I have dropped 97 pounds since last year but still have about 25 or more to go, best guess. |

Veteran 351 Bucks County | Subject: RE: Clydesdale Weight??? Be careful - are your logs accurate? Even if they are not - don't get into trying to "race" - so to speak - in your very first race! Chalk it up to experience. Your goal(s) should be the following: 1.) Enjoy the day 2.) take your time (you can breastroke or backstroke during the swim), thank the volunteers, run the 5k at a slow and easy pace 3.) don't get injured - if you take your time you'll be ok 4.) finally - finish the race. Good luck this weekend. |

I have my first tri scheduled for sept and would be tickled with DFL because at least that means I finished my goals for the first on is 1. don't drown 2. don't fall off the bike and 3. finish the run after that I may worry about times by the way I have seen it here that DFL>DNF>DNS congrats on the weight loss keep up the good work |

Focus on having fun and finishing - if you are last (only one person gets that) then enjoy it. |

DNF I have to assume is Did Not Finish DNS - did not show? Dead F***ing Last > Did Not Finish > Did Not Start I know that's how we (racers) refer to it, but I recently found out it's actually Did Finish Last. Which, IMO, sounds just a bit better. |

Regular 157 Bay City, MI | Subject: RE: Clydesdale Weight??? Hey someone has to finish last and if it was not me than it maybe someone with a much more fragile sense of self esteem (like some skinny 15 year old girl) Its really more of a community service on my part. and a DNF is always better than a DNS period no questions asked. |

Master 1322 Chicago | Subject: RE: Clydesdale Weight??? I haven't been last in a race, but I'm ALWAYS last in my training group's runs... Most of the time I don't mind it's just part of the overweight package deal. My fear with being last in a race is just being alone out there not so much worried about being last. Now that I've done a few tris I don't worry about it much if it happens it happens. I just signed up for a 15k run that I very well might be the last woman standing. |

I checked the application for the one I'm doing and I don't see a Clydesdale category either. I'm pretty confident I won't end up with a DNF or DNS. I completed the bike portion in training yesterday. 28.7 miles but I only averaged 14.5 mph. I did the run tonight. 6.2 miles at 13.8 miles/min. I have two months to hopefully figure out how to do those faster. I'm going to swim a mile tomorrow morning in order to establish my baseline for the swim. |
