My numbers aren't bad in that regards, HDL is good enough to be good. Last couple years they've been doing the bone density thing but not this year - (no chance to see if there is a trend or a change) also no vision screening. At the docs for the tire kicking the eyes seemed remarkably improved over last year. Variability.
So what trend is most interesting? The Body Fat one.
Even without clicking on it there's a pretty clear trend.
In 2008 going into the 25hours of Great Glen (yeah 25 because that's how many hours I rode) I stopped drinking coffee. I had stopped drinking coffee two months before the test time above. The time points are all early november of the respective years.
Hard to make a trend, but that still is 10% of my life so far, I call it significant. The slope from '08 to '10 is surprisingly consistent. And the drop down to the 5% body fat range this year is pretty sweet.
A certain jackass turd ferguson tried to point out that I'm still slow. But I'm not as slow as I was last year, so I say I'm faster than before and being lighter has helped. No. Having single digit BF% isn't the secret to going fast, it is only a small part of it. One other trend is this year I have about 3# more lean muscle mass. So not only did the fat go down but the muscle went up. (I'll call that significant beyond the error range).
Coffee. Yes. Coffee = skinny GeWilli. the no beer thing helps too.
And probably hurt me this weekend. Instead of downing a thousand calories of alcohol I drank water. Dumb. Should have eaten 10x more. This skinny = no back up reserves to mobilize. Gotta eat.
Weight has stabilized lately around the 190 range +/- 2 pounds. Over the last few years my weight has a weekly/daily trend during race season in a 4# range, from fully hydrated and full of food and poop to dehydrated and empty. Yes. I'm always full of poop, somethings never change.
The three cups of coffee I had before the BP check probably didn't help those numbers at all. Oh well. I'm not dead yet.
