THE BODY CENTRE

you will have WH running back and forth to his wife! (who sounds like a truly remarkable person!!)

Agree with you! THEY DO! thanks again for what you delivered this week! and for how you do it. Always.

RobMobius - here is the reference to work done which suggests the fat pad theory vs friction syndrome. Sorry it took me so long http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1469-7580.2006.00531.x

Do South African triathletes/IM's have a forum like this one? Would appreciate an URL.

BikeMax, bruce -- are you taking part in Andy's quiz on Wattage f? And what's new in the new WKO+?

It is said that road to hell is paved with good intentions - from a different angle, this seems very true. I have been asked to give pics of WL trangressors. Thank you for that kind request, but i will decline. Suffice it to say that i have pics of members of all clubs (some quite prominent members) and of all age/racing groups (including Masters) taken throughout the season and year which can show that Sunday's riders are NOT to be singled out now. A public apology to Orca and a Bikemax rider for having been targeted from pics that I have taken AND posted. But i hope to get a new camera for Xmas so that WH and others will be less blurry and will see you at the races next year.

In all fairness, Skye, this would be the wrong time to single out clubs or individuals. I am afraid 80% of the elite bunch were at fault, dangerously so, on Helshoogte.

A nice one showing the 5 tandem break on Hells (stolen from hubby's laptop)

Absolutely!

Just a couple more. Really didn't get many, but Jasper was there, so I hope he got some good ones! Willehond's group! The ladies Ronelle2007-12-02 13:56:17

Tandems (and tandem pics) galore! TOP: Uwe Schmidt and Lourens Calitz leading a group of 5 tandems on Hellshoogte and went on to win this group

The early break starts taking form Chased by

WH -as promised .. I didn't get a lot of pics this time round on Helshoogte - mostly because of this ... really stressful from the side of the road where you can see both ways.

Do you have any results WH?

Best comeback (or remark) award -- either Joe Low (to many to mention, but that recent one liner on somebody's Christmas parrot was the best!) or Holy Roller -- on that Julius Caesar skit! (think was on Marius' name) x100

Naas asks me to tell you that he cannot wait to start training with you because he knows that way he will be able to rub salt into the wounds of his opposition.

Naas - do you understand 'reserves' to mean the same thing as what bruce/Bikemax intend when they use the word? Sounds to me as though there might be some confusion here? But yes - it would be interesting to see what it does to your next 4 years if you practise what they preach. (and practice)

Bikemax - translated this is: but don't do (all of) the hill @ 90 - 95% - you just mess up (a bit stronger choice of words here, implying 'waste your reserves') -- what for? Thought you might want to comment on that statement?

We've had non-stop rain today (mbay) so I hope things look better for you towards CT! I think your friend is not too happy to be confined to a hospital bed - doesn't look the type! Wishing all of you a safe ride!!

Mandibles - can it be one of the guys in your group i met today .. in hospital?!
