Who knows what her story is - but you must admit that it IS harder to find fast triathletes who are super/sickly skinny!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-82412590837142106132010-09-02T18:53:44.165+02:002010-09-02T18:53:44.165+02:00ARRGH! it ends:

Oops. :).<br /><br />Cherelli,<br />I will say that there are a lot of men here named "bear" (Bjørn). Does that count?<br /><br />Sorry about the KG, inches everyone! That is just how I think. But I like how it's equally challenging on each side of the Atlantic.<br /><br />Amy, I've thought about throwing out the scale, but I'm still too scared of what it will mean for my weight. I have actually done it before and it wasn't pretty (in my opinion, at least). Very cool that you're getting into speedwork. I guess I am surprised that is new for you!<br /><br />Thank you Lily Jane and welcome! Yeah, I do think it is amazing what a person with an eating disorder can still manage to accomplish. We humans have A LOT of reserve. BUT, I will just say that body fat actually makes one a faster swimmer along with muscular arms and that muscular legs are the key to cycling quickly and weighing more doesn't detract much. I have yet to see a successful triathlete who is sickly skinny, but maybe there are some.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-4189303569735988722010-08-31T07:38:26.138+02:002010-08-31T07:38:26.138+02:00I totally can relate.

However, I do think that there are many people with eating disorders who are able to accomplish insane feats (such as a half-Ironman). You just can never know. At any rate, however, you just keep rockin' it!!! :D And I look forward to getting inspiration as I begin training for my own half-Ironman soon... :DLily Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696906362160881249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-74300506230085317742010-08-31T02:06:48.488+02:002010-08-31T02:06:48.488+02:00Your training has a lot more to do with your speed...Your training has a lot more to do with your speed than your weight. Runners come in all shapes and sizes--skinny slow ones, skinny fast ones, larger slow ones, larger fast ones. <br /><br />Have you ever considered tossing out your scale (I'm just assuming from your use of numbers and data, that you weigh yourself often)? It's a healthy and liberating move, in my opinion. I lost weight unintentionally once I stopped obsessing about numbers. At least I think I did--I have no idea how much I weigh--well, within 5 or 10 pounds, but not exactly. <br /><br />Congrats on a great race! And great mile splits! I've started doing speedwork (on a track) for the first time in a long time. But I haven't gone beyond my favorite 200m workout yet....I will...amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331844957221069032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-19874276127557510822010-08-30T14:21:56.619+02:002010-08-30T14:21:56.619+02:00PS, I meant "Great job!" not "Great...PS, I meant "Great job!" not "Great job?"Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788427454417876392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-89578199069653254272010-08-30T14:21:28.081+02:002010-08-30T14:21:28.081+02:00WOW!
