Holy CRAP... hang on a minute!

Clydesdales Championship?

SERIOUSLY?

can't be can it?

I have been solidly over the 200# mark (not by much but the scale never gives me a 1 instead of a 2).

Gotta be a joke?

I'm heading to dig out the official guide that came in the mail yesterday for mention.

(Hey i was all over the clydesdale mtb cat when i was racing MTBs in michigan back before the car took over my life).

Yup. I'm doing it, too, time permitting. Rumor has it you can even race if you're not 200, but you have to wear a backpack or something. I didn't read TFA. Details probably there.

the paper thing that came in the mail didn't have anything in it...

i'm still skeptical...

esp considering 8pm is the start of the Giant/Brewery party.

Is it too late for me to register? Should I make the trip just for this? My recent funk has me sitting firmly at the 200.0 mark. I'm not above going on a strict donut diet for a few weeks to be sure.

Rich, if you show up we'll have the whole too tall internet crew (almost) there. Hell we'd have enough to field a whole basketball team, hell hanging out we'd look like a freaking old man's basketball team.

I'm in there like swimwear. I can't believe I'd ever choose to race the husky category. It feels a bit "special" to me, but whatever. I guess it means I can have more fries.

Excuse me, I've got some 'Trebon' guy on the phone, and he said that being tall is no excuse for being slow.

Yeah but Treefarm is all of maybe 170 pounds.

that makes a huge difference...

not that you'd get it (mr short and light)

Colin R said...

So the problem isn't that you're tall, it's that you're fat? My work here is done.

i'm also not 25 years old anymore.

add Old and not paid to train and race.

Colin- go hawk some more t-shirts

gewilli said...

you do the math (your supposed to be good at that, right?)

Colin R said...

oh sorry, i was just joking with you. #pushingbuttons

Under 10% BF? Is this the Gewilli comedy hour?

gewilli said...

well the little arm measurement system said i was at 9% at 205# and a handful of weeks earlier (4-5) skinfold had me at 11% at 210.

not that it matters - sub 10% plus 10% i'm still just as slow as ever.

G-ride said...

you were 210 at waterville? SHITE.

I was 153 or something. I was 147 today.

None of you skinny nancies are Clydesdales.

May be Kurt and Curtis can enter on a tandem. I am sure that combined they are a whisker over 200lbs
