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!

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

 

TT, you promised not tell anyone about that!!!!!!!  I thought the expression what goes on in the showers at draycote stays in the showers!!!

Dear Dave,

I have a problem, i seem to have a bit of a thing for Gillian Mckeith!  No one seems to understand!  Do i ring the SDA phone number as suggested by Jimbo, Chemically castrate myself, or just use 2 bricks?

 

Please help i feel so dirty and backward!

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.

next month?I have surveyed the lovely mags offering me a
'beach babe body' in time for summer with a critical eye;
I doubt their idea of 'beach babe' ties in with what is
needed to power sixteen foot of single handed trap boat
round the Baltic, but even so, I do want to look my best
and impress all the lovely foreign sailors I know will be
there.  Plus there will be five other foreign girls all
trying to get their shapely hands on the very ugly ship
in a bottle that constitutes our women's world champ
trophy and I do not want my extra ballast to ruin my
chances.what's a girl to do, Dave?


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!

Place all effort into practice sails and fitness runs (thats everyday for one or the other) until a 4 days before the event.  I bet the extra practice out weighs the weight loss and I bet you'll have lost weight aswell.


ps.  The hunky sailors will be just as impressed by your gybeing



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.
