Yes, it was blast. Learned a lot. Made lot's of mistakes as novices. Want to do the PA section this summer but maybe 4 days. 10 was too much...not physically but kinda boring/got old.
Not enough showers though. Her friend picked us up and took us to a carwash and scrubbed us down. Looked like the scene in Pulp Fiction when Vincent and Jules were washed down with the hose. We were both pretty ripe.
I have no idea where you get your made up statistics from but the so called ‘gold standard’ BMI chart compares weight to height.
Your 10% number is some WAG.
I won’t bother reading your posts again
you are to stupid to be cynical
the bmi charts are actually pretty reasonible. If you are a woman 5’6” tall you should weigh less than 160 lbs to be considered within normal weight. That is not stick thin nor anorexic it may actually be a bit to much. Whatever propogandda you are reading is full of misinformation
Thanks, for posting an excellent essay.
100 mi, big deal let me know when your over 55 and still able to do them. At your age riding 100s up and down real mountains were breakfast. Try 5000 ft climbs just so you can coast down. Ever done that hotshot? Ever ridden or climbed over 10,000 ft? Try real mountains rather than those hills in the East.
Sounds like your already over exercising and your body is breaking down. You’re falling for a scam and those weight charts are a joke as is the belief in men should have women’s bodies and women should have teen boys’ bodies. It simply gives the gummit another reason to run people’s lives whether it has merit or not.
Never read you posts and now I know why, you won’t be missed.
Amazing how you signed up in Nov last year. A couple newbies playing the troll game.

Also I agreed with this article by a chef you may recognize and it seemed a good way to educate kids in a way that might also offer a career source with hands on learning of the culinary arts field-an explosion of interest by all ages readily avail. on certain networks. Enthusiasm in a class which could benefit a student in many ways.
I guess you could compare this scenario to the old Fish adage of the importance of the pole, not the fish.
School Nurses Check Children’s BMI? Why, so they can screen them and take control of their nutrition AWAY from the Parents?
Yours was an interesting and erudite post, but it revealed a deeper and more sinister backstory. School Nurses are checking kid’s fat-to-muscle ratio??? What ELSE are they examining? This is what Conservatives have been concerned about...the loss of control over the raising of our own children.
But then again...it’s “FOR THE CHILDREN”, so why not take all parental authority away in terms of nutrition, psychological screening, religious training, “Values Clarification”, Sex Education, Interpersonal relationships, recreational activities, tolerance training, and sexual orientation? Testing BMI in other people’s children should NOT be the function of the School Nurse. Checking the kids for head lice is appropriate, but not invasive testing like that.
Just my humble opinion.
Nope. Just a bike accident.
You’re falling for a scam and those weight charts are a joke as is the belief in men should have women’s bodies and women should have teen boys’ bodies.
Read up why BMI was developed. It was developed by researchers to be used as a tool to see what a large swath of the general population's weight was heading over a period of decades. It is accurate for the reason it was developed. It was never developed to be accurate for 100% of the population. I never look at those charts anyway btw. Don't care. I've always led a healthy lifestyle and have never been fat.
It simply gives the gummit another reason to run people’s lives whether it has merit or not.
I brought up in my first post I did not want the gov't to get involved and you keep ignoring that and bring up insults of labeling me a troll or liberal. There is no myth about obesity...the American public is overweight in general and anyone with 1/2 a brain cell knows that.
Nice insults in post #14 and 15 btw. You are the one that can't take any critique of what you write. You completely took out of context what I wrote and throw in comments about something I never even brought up.
Amazing how the two newbies play tag team. Makes you think they are from the DNC?? Not to mention the absolute trust in the gummit programs. Please don’t post to my threads anymore.
Pray for America
Interesting how you assume because someone hasn’t always been on FR that they must be a troll. Logic is not your strong suit
Yawn, you just proved my point. You name call like a braindead lib, you walk like a braindead lib, then you must be a braindead lib. How’s that for logic. Now please go to some threads that actually think you add something of value.
What is the temp there at DNC HQ?? Do they pay by the hour or the mindless post?
Pray for America
Interesting that you think suggesting that logic is not your strong suit is name calling and yet your response is nothing but name calling.
I will pray for you. Enjoy your day
