Wow! You did amazing!!! Great job with the race.
I have been saving for a bike - will be ready to purchase in another month, and am torn between an upright vs recumbent style. I think the recumbent will be more comfy and less wrist stress (haven't actually ever tried one), but it seems like being so low to the ground would cause visibility problems, both for me and others.
Anyway, congrats on the race -way to kick some!

oh heh never heard that slang before, though now it makes sense after that talk in Mals diary - somebody mentioned cougar in there.
Well i failed the race, was wrong time of month for me and i was not feeling particularly motivated.
Tampon string causes a rash after 80km so i called in the sag wagon, i just couldnt be fucked doing any more riding and didnt want to end up very sore.
To be honest i could have finished the race but i just wasnt into it - the tampon string rash was in all honesty an excuse to bow out.
i did 80km though, i got up at 5am, im now going to goto bed at 8pm though because frankly im knackered.
I probably ate more calories today than i used, but again i really cant be stuffed.
Ive decided to not bother to hard at trying to drop the last few lb until the off season cycling, my cycling just suffers greatly when i lower the calories down. My last race of the season is in 2 weeks, then im just gonna maintain the cycling fitness and train my daughters and drop last of the weight.

Sorry wishes that you have the shits! It sucks! I had them constantly for... 8 years solid! Talk about one big poo situation!
I had never heard the cougar thing either, but I bet you could have any 25year old you wanted! My man (who is 23) was quite impressed with your most recent pic!
Also I have meant to ask you: are you really really sure you don't live in london and work at university of london union gym??? Because I swear there is a woman who is your spitting image there, she is the personal trainer (so she scares me A LOT!), and she is always there, training herself and pushing other people to train and I am always tempted to go and say: dude I know your identical twin sister!! But then I am afraid she would have me doing squats for like 3 days in a row for talking to her...
I hope you feel better soon and kick those people's asses on that race! I have to admit I did laugh a little bit (ok a lot) about the tampon string rash... never heard of that!
Go cougars, go!!! Camy

Ugh hope you're feeling better...
80K is an awesome accomplishment to get thru.. well done...
you should write a note to tampax - or your brand of choice - complaining abut the string rash
tampons are supposed to be sport friendly

tampons are supposed to be sport friendly I was a little concerned when I caught this story on the news however.

Serious, whats her name? My dad is from england so could actually be related!

Just means you need to do some finger fishing i guess.
So today ive slept, pooped, slept, pooped, etc Having trouble putting anything in my mouth at all including water, ive eaten 1 donut, 1 mocha, and 1 finger club sandwich all day and maybe about 4 cups of water (if that). Problem is that everytime i eat i get dire consiquences, im hungry but dont dare eat.
On a semi funny note, ive dropped a ton of weight fast lol - and i didnt even have the energy to weigh naked to see a more exact number!
I expect it will all come back once im well again, though im worried about the impact of being sick only a week before a race.
Hopefully ill be right as rain by then.

felt better last night for a while, managed to get a bunch of small bread rolls down me to up the calories to around 800ish, of course the consiquences were dire ... literally! lol
got up this morning, still not able to sleep more than 3 hours without having to get up and run to the loo.
If you want to loose a lot of weight fast - boy do i have a cure for you!
I still hold now hopes that it will stay off as its probably mostly water hehe

The cup grosses me out too! Also the idea of having to to take it out and then jumping, with you knickers around your ankles to the sink (in a public bathroom!) to wash the thingie out... something I am not sure I want to experience!
Is there really a sponge? That would gross me out too to be honest... even tampons grossed me out until like 2 years ago... now pads gross me out... I am easily grossed out for someone who works with her hands inside people's vaginas!
I hope you feel better... do the BRAT diet, bananas, rice, apple and toast! That should have you back on your feet in no time!

the BRAT diet? that sounds extremly unhealthy - no protein in it at all :O
I think im getting better, not running to the toilet every hour or so now, though i still feel really queasy a lot and not overly interested in food. Though i am managing to eat more.
More of the morning queasyness than evening, so i tend to eat more in the evening. lso i regained a bit of the weight back that i lost the other day (as i said, fluid)
If my stomach is this queasy next week for the race i doubt i will be able to do much at all in the way of racing. I need to eat some pretty acidic strong sugar syrup when riding which is full of carbs sodiums and other cool stuff (yes it tastes aweful, but it works!).
If i feel really bad next weekend when i race ill just sit near the back of the pack with my mate who is much slower than i.

String rash...that a new one. Never even thought of that being an issue. The cup thing seems a bit messy. I can just picture myself in a public washroom cursing like a sailor trying to get the damn thing out.
Hope you're feeling better. I guess I can't say your full of shit anymore! LOL!

Sorry your ill. The Brat diet, is not a "diet, diet", it's the get over the runs, kinda diet. With foods that will "stick" to you, but are also mild and wont agrivate the problem as much. Even when my kids are sick and nothing will stay down, the stuff on the brat diet, stays down better. So at least you have something in you. Just while your sick... Anyway, it does help and I've heard it recomended by some doctors.
I hope you get better soon!

Sorry the BRAT diet confused you, it is food that makes the runs better... you are not supposed to eat it forever.
I have some experience with stomach sickness (due to having it for 8 plus years) and I think for a few days you should stick to veggies (potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato) just boiled and then with a tad of olive oil or just mashed up with a tiny bit of butter, soups etc... your intestines need a little rest so they can relax!
Hope you are feeling better soon and can race again! Camy
