I'm currently 56kg. Jaysis. Almost half your weight. Maybe my ma has a point
And I agree, 12 hours isnt tough anymore. Its just normal. Doing less would seem weird.
It would have been half my weight a few weeks ago! I could make an excuse that I'm 6ft 4" but unless your 3ft 2" it doesn't hold

That would probably involve grabbing another person in Benny's case (e.g. me at our club pool session :rolleyes:). He's a lean machine already :cool:
56kg Oryx :eek: - I didn't think the scales went that low
. However I didn't think the alarm clock setting went as low as it does also but I'm learning otherwise I hope you'll still be strong enough to drag me over the IMAT finish line when you spot me on your warmdown....after your massage....after your dinner....Those kettlebells ought to be good for something! 0 -

Were just saving it up. Come the start line on race day we will be squaring up to each other like sumo wrestlers.Wells Delicious Gazelle wrote: »Bloody killing each other with compliments so you are:) 0 -
I'm 5' 6". So not emaciated. I was lighter than this from the training i did my first time doing tough guy.
Actually, you are about perfect for a female triathlete. The two calculations I use as a general yardstick (for women) is....100 pounds for the first 5 feet, plus 5 pounds for every inch after that, minus 5 - 10%.....AND/OR.....weight divided by height in inches, and you want the result to be between 1.8 and 2. For the first calculation, your weight would be between 123.5 and 117 pounds (you are 123 pounds)....and the second calculation you are 1.86. I say you are one fit chickie!!! 0 -

Okay, okay, okay......it's also VERY acceptable to be within zero to 10% of the weight calculation (100 pounds at 5 feet plus 5 pounds for each additional inch), so no worries there (and a wee bit more could be right for you - we are all different in what works best for each of us). Hope that helps ladies!!! 0 -
You pacing Sunday RQ?
Nope. I was pacer coordinator. Would still like to make it down and maybe run the half at about 1:45 pace. Don't think I'll make it though.

Haha no worries. I'm only 5'2'' and a couple of pounds heavier than Oryx but if I lost the weight that would fit me into your equation I'd lose half my muscle mass. Could do with dropping a bit of body fat but I wouldn't want my swimming to deteriorate so can't be doing that. 0 -

I once read somewhere that people with higher body fat float better because fat is less dense than muscle. It's probably rubbish but it makes me feel better when I see some very overweight people glide up and down my local pool while I struggle along 0

I channelled my inner Dory tonight, spinning away happily on my turbo listening to the best music. I drew the line at watching sport, I don't think I'll ever go that far. 55 mins at a handy z1/z2 effort. Bliss.
If you ever come over here and visit me, I'm taking you to a professional hockey game and you will LOVE it!! 0 -
