Hi David. You are welcome to stay over with us. Johan Kleynhans

Heard the farmers almost want to give it for free for the next few months. Buy direct and cut out the middleman who will be the only one benefitting. Source 702 this afternoon.

April stinks. Back to 98 kg from 96. Trained about 60% from what I wanted to do. On top of that ate too much and also had a beer or 2 over weekends. Anyway back into discipline again having to redo all I have done the past 2 months. This was a total waste of valuable time and effort. It is amazing how quickly you pick up the weight again. It is like throwing a bottle into a pool. It pops right back to the surface. Eek

Weight is up to 97.1 from last week. This is not good. Will have to focus again. Also only managed to train once last week. Eish

Just do it.

Let me rather say that perhaps I don't fully understand what you say here as it is not my experience. If you are properly hydrated and ate correctly during a race and you use a high sugar supplement then (in my experience) it is right what you say. If you have not eaten properly or did not take enough liquid then in my opinion the statement cannot be correct. Then exactly that will happen.

Well well. Weight this morning 95.3. I must admit that I had a running stomach for a few days this week which probably helped as I ate nothing for 2 days. I also did not train the whole week due to not feeling well. I still take it however. So I am very close to 95kg which is one of my mini goals on the way to 80 kg.

I can also testify about the reading glasses. At 55 I started wearing glasses for reading. I used them for about a year. Weight was 106kg and I had a coke and chocolate just about every day. At 56 I drastically cut back on sugar and middle of 2016 I started training again. At the time I misplaced my glasses and realized I could see again. I am 59 now and I dont use glasses at all. My phone font is on the second smallest and I read it easily. I struggle a bit in low light however to read. During all of these years my blood pressure and blood sugar were normal. Only had a bit of colestorol. I believe it was the sugar all along.

To race 50 miles you need to be able to train/ride 60 miles comfortably to start the conversation with.

Apart from comfortable positions it is always crucial to have your leg/knee/cranck/BB position sorted out first. Then you can sort out the handlebar/saddle relationship in my opinion for aero or comfort.

96.4 this morning. Only lost 200 gram this week. My body is fighting back. I will have to hang in there. In the past I always started to pick up weight from this level. But to be honest I only trained once this past week where I normally train 3 times.
