...for thought.

Anyone who likes the idea of an anti-gravity treadmill...

After losing my 75 pounds and getting to my VERY lowest, I am carrying about 10 pounds above that. I have been at this weight for about a year, give or take. It really stresses me out that I can't seem to get back to 125....but maybe this is a good healthy weight for me. I guess I will know on May 16th...

Doesn't " ALWAYS " mean fitter
As the author states though lighter is often faster.

I've found my race weight to be just where Mary says I'm getting too thin.

For long distance Ironman races and the big volume buildup before I tend to drift down to what feels like pretty low body fat levels for me. When measured at the races, a perk available at tri race expos, I'm still just in the average athletic range for men, 8-9%. Many age group men race ~5%. I tell myself that's them, not me but can't help but think if that might , you know, be faster on race day.

Did not mean to leave out a word of the title. Really. Goodness knows I like how race weight feels.

Lucky guys can get to that body fat % without too many health ramifications; go below 12 when you're a female and wind up in a world of amenorrheic hurt. I know why we need the puppy fat but it's not fair!

knowing that rk has an aversion to wet stockings, locals have spotted rk 7 min pacing across the crest of a hill. It is believed but not confirmed that he is expecting something or in a nervous haste, causing the incessant pacing but we all know his inner fear of wet stocking syndrome or the Brits reinvasion of Castine

We will hold down the fort while you're gone. :)

Safe travels and have a blast!

Bring 'em - you'll need 'em.

Word on the street is it's cold in FL.
Yeah, I know - but that is what I've heard.

Have fun there cold or not.

Tee hee.

long ride to Houlton for the 5k
