dear Dave and chaps,
You will be pleased to know I have saved myself the trouble of going to Denmark by cleverly getting my car stolen and then contracting swine flu (so unfair for a committed vegetarible) so I need not worry about the diet and training etc for now. I am now preparing my competition schedule for the next few months. Clearly I need several weeks to recover from said flu, so shouldn't risk dieting until about the middle of September. The nationals start on the 19th but they are in sunny Mudeford where I'm told fat is fast, so they don't count. After that I am persuading her indoors she wants to go to the Gold Coast for the worlds in Brisbane, but they start just after Crimbo! What am I to do? Presumably if I go to oz for christmas they only have barbie and beer at xmas anyway, so I could just focus on salad..... any hints? by the way dave, looking forward to the show tonight! Edited by winging it |

The reason no one understands is that no one else has a thing for the ugly bint. I have heard though that you do only have a 'bit of a thing' so you are of no interest to Gillian. Two bricks. Hope that helps |

Well chaps (including English Dave
)I have been endeavouring to follow your sage advice but the weather has not been sharing my ideas. This has meant that I have been spending some time on my sofa watching my sailing vids and dvds in an effort to learn things. I now know, for example, how not to gybe a 29er. I am sure this will be useful knowledge one day. I have tried very hard not to accompany this activity with wine, pizza and chips, but have not been successful as often as I would have liked. However, all is not lost; I am, after all travelling first to Germany where, not being a fan of the fleisch, I will not find much to eat, and then to Denmark, where I won't be able to afford to eat...so although my dieting might be a tad last minute I will be making an effort. Of sorts. I am now praying hard for wind. ![]() |

Travel with someone fatter, older and uglier than yourself (if you can't find a perfect match then 2 out of 3 is OK). An additional bonus is if they can't sail for toffee. You will thus look like a superstar babe by comparison. |

Regular and frequent capsizing should help a great deal - this has all the ingredients of a decent gym circuit if done correctly (or should that be incorrectly?) - swimming (anerobic), weight lifting (pulling yourself onto the board), stretches (leaning back to get the boat back upright) and finally some warm-down excerise in the form of a) bailing-out or b) sloshing about in a cool bath trying to get going again!

Seconded, use the time to get super confident in the boat and improve stamina. If it blows you can show the waifs the way around the course! and if it doesnt you'll still be fit enough to sail the final race of the day while they will be passing out with exhaustion. |
