You'll be taking two whole days to do it? Sheesh ... you slacker!

Nah, it goes from dawn Saturday through to Sunday, the idea being that
fatigued runners get lost in the bush at night, and then when they can't
find their way out, they dehydrate all Sunday as well... I suppose...
Winner this year was just under 18 hours, so yeah, I'm expecting to take
more than 24 hrs.

Hi all,

I've put a post on my blog about starvation mode training. If you're
into nutrition and training methods, please feel free to read this post,
make a contribution, submit links, whatever; I'd greatly appreciate
anything you've got.

Some data for this.

Today I skipped breakfast (lazy .. slept in!) then went to the local
velodrone to do some coaching & training. It was raining so we did
theory inside, but I did do about 1hr in E1.

I got a blood sugar tester last week - and used it today.
Before I left home, 6.1mmol/l
after I got back ~1hr E1 only - 6.4mmol/l

My finger is turning into a pincusion, but I'm getting real data. I
want to see what happens to blood sugar levels on longer rides and
intense training (and racing), and what difference sports drinks make.
Will log my data on the aboc website when I have something interesting
to show for it.

What did it cost and where did you get it? After soem discussion a month
or so ago about the energy drop I get near the end of Sunday BR's I'm
interested in getting some data on myself for blood sugar levels.

Any chemist (pharmacy) will sell them. Anywhere from $60 to $90 or so,
including lancets and test strips - they're diabetic glocosameters. I
got an
accu-chek (sic) 'advantage'. They all work .... They're around the
same size as a stopwatch and most have a small pouch that will fit in a
jersey pocket easily.

After Glenvale on Sunday, where I spend the vast majority of an hour in
E3 or above, I was 6.1mmol/l - which is good! No bonk ... I'm waiting
to get a bonk and then see what it's dropped down to (but am not going
to provoke it!)

Not necessarily. There are plenty of doctors around here who'd be hard pressed to afford a bike like that.

See what happens when you do astrology instead of real work at uni...

I'm sure if you lust after her enough, you'll get her in the end 🙂

Cheers,

Yep, I work with some of the astrologers to which she is referring.

Don't worry. I shall be up in Sydney sometime. I can track you down.

I got 35 hits on astrology on the UWA website. I was afraid to delve deeper.

Teach astrology? We don't teach astrology hear. But I am doing my
PhD in it.

Moving right along but sticking with the A's we have the japanese Astronomy
student in my bunch called Hiro, who is delightful and cheerfully admits he
would much rather stay here and continue doing further degrees (its a long
way to go to vet science) and the only thing I can see likely to intefere
with that plan is his tendency to devastatingly sprint out of the sun and
rip the legs off the rest of hubbards on week day mornings. He is discreet
enough not to shout banzai but his intentions are clear.

But for that regrettable tendancy we think Tokyo's loss is Sydney's gain and
his studies in Astronomy are helpful is telling us about when the alignment
of the planets will assist us in our next race - and the atmosphere is much
better here for observing heavenly bodies in their orbits than back in the
land of Nippon.

Need to exercise some judgement about when to unleash that sprint though
boyo.

Not sure about the numbers of practicing witches in our bunch though -
clearly we need to add some questions to the Sydney Cycling membership
renewal form.

best, Andrew

His surname wouldn't happen to be Protagonist, by any chance, would it?

I have no idea what the above means. Is there a course in communications at
your uni?

Err, no TimC, this would be a serious degree.
Probably involves some performance, just like a music degree,
Would also involve some basic science like physics, etc (cannonball, net
stringing etc)
And most probably circus management (shouldn't be much difference to
managing your local leages or rissole club really,
plus a logistics component (really important for a circus)

Reminds me of the time that Thoams Cook wanted to organise a three day
bicycle ride from Sydney to Canberra for over three bicyclists. Told
them it was impossible; just not enough hotel/motel beds in any location
between places.
