<br />
yeah, yeah.....laugh it up, you sophisticated git
<br />
<br />
Tell me Nick, what weighs more: half a shoebox full of oxygen, or a pair of size 11 grass shoes with a sole an inch thick? :nta <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> It's the weight I'm more interested in, and normally the track is dry, so the traction I'm used to is generally capable of defeating most defences. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
And getting your sorry arse run down by gits in sophisticated shoes <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> The amount of power you gain with the extra grip should easily account for the weight <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
I tried playing touch in runners, not thinking about the amount of dew you get in the middle of winter even at 8PM <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Fell over on my sorry arse twice and got penalised for playing off the mark another time because I'd just slide forward a meter :2funny: -
well Nick, getting my sorry arse run down happens so rarely that i don't consider it a big enough issue to warrant the purchase of shoes that make me look like a sophisticated, highly competitive twat like like these younger blokes. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
But you raise some fair points, which is rather unlike you <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> On really dewie or rainy nights, maybe I could pack my old footy boots to gain the extra grip required, just in case? :nta <br />
<br />
Occasionally I pull the old Adidas World Cups out and have a run, but it feels like I have besser bricks tied to my feet, only because of what I'm used to though...these boots are feather-weight. -
Good for your legs - think of it as a weights workout <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
-
geez, this is a bit embarrassing that I should use a pair of footy boots as a weights workout. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> They'd weigh about, what...300 grams? Holy shit, this is pathetic. :shifty:

What happened to the besser blocks? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

<br />
Usual sprints again last night, with a jog to the park, 3 x aforementioned sprint routines, with 20 pushups/20 crunches in between each, followed by 2 x shorter sharper sprints as mentioned in my 28/02/06 log. Trundled home. the session again lasted about 38 minutes. I had 2 smallish ham, lettuce, tomato, avocado rolls for dinner, and rewarded myself with one small bundy, lime and soda to replace lost sugars <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
One point I'd like some feedback on please: is it good to be still sweating from your excercise after having a cold shower and dinner an hour or more after the end of the exercise session? I have no idea how hot it was last night, but it was very humid in Brisbane. I'm thinking as long as I keep pumping the water into myself after finishing, sweating shouldn't be too much of an issue should it? :nta -
No it will be OK. I find that you shouldn't have the shower as soon as you get home because you're still pouring heat onto your body and convincing it that it needs to sweat by raising core temperature and humidity. My post-ride/walk/gym session is basically:<br />
<br />- get home and throw down 500mL cold water.<br />
- take off sweaty garments - yes down to buck naked if you feel comfortable that way <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
- grab another 500mL cold water and find a cool place to walk around in while sipping - this is either outside (where the neighbours can't see) or if its too hot outside, in front of a fan or in an air conditioned room. The walking is just so you're not sitting still and potentially cramping up<br />
- Once you've got to a point where the sweat is basically dried you've cooled down sufficiently - time for a shower<br />
<br />
After the shower get around in boxers because in the Brissie humidity covering your body up will simply make it heat up and sweat.
-
yeah Nick, I pretty much do all those things you mention, except the buck naked part. It was half an hour after I got back from running before I even jumped in the shower, but even then I was sweating as soon as I got out. Must just be the heat, as the house gets shut up all day, and is often like a sauna when I get home. <br />
<br />
Got my tennis again tonight, which is something to look forward to. I have a habit of racquet-throwing tantrums, but since buying a new racquet, I've become a lot more selective in when I chuck a MacEnroe moment. My mates call me "the mad racquet thrower from Kenmore" :nta -
I have a cold shower after I exercise, but only then after waiting some time for the sweating to stop. Obviously the longer I can parade around the house naked the better as far as MvJ is concerned. <br />
<br />
There is nothing worse than exercising, having a long cold shower, drying off and still sweating. Yuck, yuck, yuck. -
well Miller, count yourself lucky you don't live in the warmer, humid climes of Queensland then. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
I have that problem after every exercise session I do in summer, even when I wait for half an hour before having the cold shower...but I am a pretty sweaty person :shifty: -

oh shit, come on Emma, it's not nearly as offensive as a particular TSF poster, turned fastbusting moderator telling us he's going home to masturbate himself almost to death. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Judging from my press-up abilities ascertained tonight, I need wrist and elbow strength. Which means more of that, and some heavy elbow bending at the pub as well...

tennis last night which went for 1 and a half hours. Was good to have a run around, but my form was as shit as a shit burger wrapped in 2 big pieces of shit, with plenty of woeful shots played, and lots of explosive and volatile tantrums from me. One blowup even saw my racquet accidentally fly out of the court, over the fence, and onto the top of the enclosed cricket nets adjoining the tennis courts. It was a hell of a job retrieving the fucking thing, and this caused another Red Bull tantrum when I had to climb up onto the cricket nets to get it. A tough job because I'm surely not a monkey.<br />
<br />
I was, however, happy with my speed around around the court, which might be a product of all that fast-twitch fibre training. :nta -
Bit of a grumpy possum on the court eh? You need a contact sport <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
