Yeti.. will beat you at anything.. unless you don't want to beat me in which case it's no fun.
*hopes the anything will be a dance-off*
will beat you at anything..
Really? How much time for training do you want?
*won't pick coke drinking*
If I've skim read correctly the man calling me silly names for my views on diet weighs 85kg. How tall are you Molgrips?
He's big legged.

I could be the fattest man in the world, your argument would still be ridiculous.
Yeti, I'd challenge you to the Ben Nevis tri if I thought you were brave enough.
Hmmmm... you could of course just [s]enter[/s] beat me at the full Blenheim Triathlon that you know I'm already doing...
Too late, I'm already there in a team. And it's just a test of speed and fitness, not true grit 🙂
Have you already got your entry sorted for the Nevis then? I know iDave has been teasing you with it for a while.
TBH - if you don't completely kick my ass on the bike leg at Blenheim you're going to look a bit silly.
Yes, I know 🙂 My super fast mate did the bike leg in just over 30m so I'm aiming to beat that.
Haven't yet entered the Ben, should do. It'll probably fill up before I get around to it knowing my organisational skills...
You should all be aware by the way that I don't really think I am better than you all - I don't really know - I just find it amusing to trash talk on STW 🙂

LOL - Is that the Cardiff defence?
How about you help iDave and me crack a good time at Motion in Mercia by doing your share of 90 miles at the front?

It's £95 there are still spaces. 14th September.
15th April..? Sunday isn't it? I have to go to Madrid. I would love to join in some kind of sportive though, I like team events. Might've even been able to get away from the family for that one if it weren't for the business trip.
Yadda.

So how tall are you, Molgrips?
[i]So how tall are you, Molgrips?[/i]
Whats it to you ?.
Calm down Solo. Have you not had your emoticons this morning? While you may not agree with Edukator, there is no need to be rude. Just ignore him.
...otherwise you risk coming across as a bit of a zealot.

Well, whomever thinks that will be making a mistake, born probably from not reading / comprehending my posts, sufficiently well.

Actually, I do feel a bit pissy.
I think its not being able to cycle at the moment which is making me grumpy ?.
Does time out of the saddle make anyone else tetchy ?.
yes
Solo, I'm intrigued just what the body-mass index is of the guy who's called me a "**" and "****" for suggesting that following iDave's banned carbs (grains, bread, pasta, rice) is counter-productive if you want to maintain a stable, healthy weight over many years and perform at a high level in endurance sports. And that iDave's fatty pre-sportive breakfast gave him little chance of performing well; he'd have gone beter on oats/müesli/toasties 3-4 hours before the start after a meal of pasta and fish the night before.
My own body-mass index after half a century of food iDave discourages:

Perhaps iDave could post a photo so we can see what his diet has done for him. You are what you eat.
If I've skim read correctly the man calling me silly names for my views on diet weighs 85kg. How tall are you Molgrips?
Yes, I'm all for people having to pre-qualify to post their opinions. What's the day job Edukator?
*swoon*
iDave is lean, posting pictures is a tad weird.
Solo - do you want a hug? Surely you can see that MOlly out of all people is more than capable of defending himself. Even SurfMat couldn't take what Molly has on this thread.
*glitchy nudge*
*C'mon Patrick, sort it out*
Mol is 5'11" though if that helps Edukator.
And that iDave's fatty pre-sportive breakfast gave him little chance of performing well;
What's that based on other than your opinion?
There were 900+ starters, what kind of finish would I need to have done for you to think I'd 'performed well'?
To keep the thread idiet related, i'm never having milk in my coffee again after yesterdays experience! I've been experimenting with this recently and it triggers bad sugar cravings for me.
Mol, did you say a few pages back that you were going to try to increase power rather than lose weight? Apparently its easier to lose weight than increase power fyi.
Solo, i am also grumpy this morning. 😐
That is a good question iDave.
Edukator - I think you're an awesome Troll and I've enjoyed your contribution to this thread.
A question though... how do we know that's you?
Post a picture of yourself with a [s]tin of baked beans[/s] bulb of garlic on your head and a copy of today's paper or I'll continue to think you're a bit of an angry chubster.
Why is everyone so grumpy, TSY excluded*, this morning?
*Stay strong, sugar-tits.
1m 80 then. So about 10kg overweight for a triathlete/performance cyclist.
I'm a househusband, iDave. I didn't look any different when I was teaching, doing geology or any of the other jobs I've done - apart from younger.
Cheers sweet cheeks.
I'm nay too bad, the mrs (ex-mrs... whatever she's called these days) woke me up this morning at 5:40 to say good bye before she went to work.
Couldn't get back to sleep so made it for the early spin class at the gym and then had a run, a flap about on the cross trainer and a good stretch. Legs feel disgusting now, which pleases me.
*is starting to fall in love with Edukator*

I would call that a current mrs.
so made it for the early spin class at the gym
I don't hate many forms of exercise, but spin is one of them. It's just rotten....not because it's hard, but because it's just so..well..erm...soulless.
it's just so..well..erm...soulless.
You have to get all happy clappy and sing along to the music. TBH I wish I'd just chucked my bike in the boot and gone out for a proper ride.
So as a retired geology teacher what light can you shed on the insulin response to different types of carbs and the subsequent influence on fat storage? Or are you just not wanting to consider the science as your opinion alone holds such sway? You still haven't done anything other than say "I eat bread therefore you're all wrong"
iDiet question...
Is pork pie ok? Someone has just brought a massive Grosevenor Pie in and I bloody love 'em.
You have to get all happy clappy and sing along to the music
I am too much of a misanthrope to do that.
Hmm. Maybe the problem with spinning is me being too much of a joyless **** to get into the spirit of it?
....Nah, it's just shit bruv....loooooool!

The meat and the wobbly bits should be ok, the rest you can post to Edukator.
The meat and the wobbly bits should be ok
It's got an actual egg in the middle of it. Man reached his pinnacle when he learnt to encase eggs in meat.
I'm grumpy because its raining today and i am sooooo tired after the weekend! And I suspect i'm having sugar come down/withdrawal, having had to fuel on jelly babies and snickers for 70 fast, hilly miles yesterday. 😡
Still, only 3.5 days to work this week and then its holidays!
DGoAB.
Sorry to learn that not all is well in your world today.
Whats the prob ?.
Think I'm suffering bike withdrawal.
But !, interesting discovery, with the milk.
I guess you'll continue to test that theory to see if you've zero'd milk as the culprit.
So, not all bad, maybe ?.

You are desperate aren't you.
I guess sitting at home with all those keys in front of you.
You just can't resist, can you.
Heres the news, Ed.
You don't agree with iDave.
[b]Wow !.[/b]
The basis of your [i]knowledge[/i] and so therefore your alternative opinion to iDave, appears to be mostly anecdotal.
Someone called you a name, ah.
Its the interdnets, innit.
You'll get over it, even for a Troll such as yourself.
Not withstanding that you quite clearly suffer a massive dose of small man syndrome.
I've no idea of the level of people out on British sportives, iDave. Even then "well" is in relation to your personal ability. I reckon I've "gone well" if my cardio-vascular system has performed at the top of what I know is possible from expereience/tests and cardio performance the main limiting factor in my performance rather than how the legs felt.
From your own description you were nowhere near being close to the threshold of your cadio vascular capacity for those four hours.
I haven't done cyclosportives for years but finished 102nd in a particularly mountainous "Etape" having "gone well" - heart rate at 160 - 175 up all four climbs.
So I'm confused....
...erm, nothing else to add.
[i]It's got an actual egg in the middle of it. Man reached his pinnacle when he learnt to encase eggs in meat. [/i]
You got that right !.
🙂
I've a Scotch egg in the fridge here at work.
iDave is solely responsible for my, now complete, addiction to scotch eggs !.
[i]Still, only 3.5 days to work this week and then its holidays! [/i]
Thats the spirit !.
😀
And I suspect i'm having sugar come down/withdrawal...
Do others experience this? Have you tried actual drugs??

Complete and utter failure to understand the principles involved. And complete and utter failure to shut up when you are making a complete tit out of yourself.
Incidentally, I didn't agree with iDave's ideas at all at first (the argument is probably still around) but I did listen to the evidence, did my own research and put my money where my mouth was and I realised I was wrong.
[i]Do others experience this? Have you tried actual drugs?? [/i]
I've never suffered what I would describe as sugar withdrawal.
But sometimes I will feel very tired.
Not even sure if the two things are related.
I note some folk on here go on about how they're feeling or how they feel at a certain time of day, such as first thing in the morning.
I wonder if these people are slightly over-analytical.
I don't really walk about, constantly looking within to see how I'm feeling.
Perhaps I'm just an air head.
😐
