Yeah, that's normally while I'm working - climbing, etc. I can't stomach food while I'm active. I've been looking for foods that I can put down in small amounts. I force down half a Cliff Bar here and there... Put the other half in my pocket or pack. Gu is pretty tolerable - but I mainly use that for anti-bonk. I was 'overweight' for some time - finally got to a 'normal' bmi just this last month or so. Just from diet, not from exercise. I lost 10+ pounds AFTER I did a marathon last May. Just starting to get ready for another one in November. The change was mainly cutting out almost all processed foods and going all raw, except for the pasta. This is all beside my original point - I gotta find a way to get myself to eat while I'm out next season. Climbing is pretty much over for me for the year and I am concentrating on the marathon coming in November. Then rest & recover for 2-3 weeks, snowshoe for a couple of months, then maybe do another marathon in May before the climbing season...

Only climb with people you owe money to.
Also, don't carry nice gear.
And let them drive.

Just like internet dating, I'm sure.
Except nobody on this site has had a background check.

What you say about nutrition and hunger interests me, because I have a habit of not eating during long trips until the day is over. I may go mainly on Gatorade, and keep Gu or some sort of energy bars on hand for 'anti-bonk', but I just CANNOT bring myself to eat a meal during a hard day of climbing or hiking. I have to wait until it's over, and cool off. I don't feel hunger. I keep well hydrated, almost always with sports drinks, and if the going is hard, I keep the Gu going now and then. But that's about it. During long runs I drink about 4-5 ounces of sports drinks about every 5 miles. While climbing, I may drink 3-4 quarts of Gatorade, and eat nothing in 12-16 hours.

Prusiks are the way to go. It will take way less time to prusik back up a rappel and to go down the correct route than it will to place one bolt.
Assuming you are on something steep and making a long rap this is not true. A single 1/4" bolt can be placed in a shorter time than it would take to ascend up a full length of rope on a couple of thin cords.
Especially if you keep them in your pack and you just keep 'prussik materials' instead of tied prussiks on your harness.
:lmao: -
Yes but why the hell carry prussiks if you keep them in your pack?

He's right, you know.
Mods - close down this website immediately!

I wish I had a dollar for every time I 'quit' this website.
Then again, I wish I had a dollar.

I hope that rant does some good.
It does actually - thanks!
...but I think all athletes can benefit from learning how to parallel physical stress with the times that their bodies are able to recover.Elaborate? Explain?

Yeah, but that's what I was saying earlier. He chose a lifestyle that required all his time plus some. I have an average job, but I'm out of there at 4:00 every day, training by 5:00. You can't have everything.

Yeah, I get 'tired', and I know most people would give up at that point, but it's easy to keep going just a little further, and just a little further, just a few more steps, just a little more... to the point where I'm stumbling and about to crash. I certainly get tired, but I push through it, but that's part of the long-run training - not something I do every day, but weekly. Only if and when I have those last couple of miles during a long run - or my long run is extended because the race in nearer. Lately I've been working on speed, so I've been crashing sooner on my long runs because I've been doing them faster than before - actually, where I didn't used to crash at all. But I'm doing them much faster and much more comfortably, but what's odd is when the crash comes, it comes on fairly quickly. So for example, I may set out to do 14 miles at 10 - 10.5 minutes per mile (I used to do 12.5!) and wind up spent after 11 miles. I can do it - I just have to build up more slowly, and now that I'm not climbing 2 days a week it's a WHOLE lot easier to build up faster!
-
Yeah, it's good to know. Besides, I pretty much have the ability to push myself until I collapse, and have pushed myself to the brink a number of times, and then rested an extra day because of that. (This is during endurance training.) Another more recent rule is 'Don't take more than 2 days off at a time.' - unless something is wrong - illness, injury, etc.
So it may have something to do with the different types of exercise, too. For me it's mainly endurance and speed. Sounds like it's been more strength & such for you. I just run & climb. I may spend some time this winter doing some strength work preparing for next season - I did more climbing than usual this year, and I wished I had hed more upper body strength. Not gonna mess with it until after I finish my next marathon, though...

Well, the gun range was part of our JROTC program. In our junior year we had to alternate days between ROTC and PE class.

I went to a high school here in Washington that had an indoor rifle and pistol range. You could bring your own firearm (.22 caliber) to school, as long as you checked them in at the armory before classes.
Times have changed.

We could spice it up by the consumption of 1 oz of XXX milkshake per 10 lbs body weight immediately before the start.
Again, people are trying to slow down the fatties.
I prefer meth anyway.

What about other handcaps?
adjustments for # of children for instance?
This ain't the IRS.
You can carry your children up if you wish, however.
If you carry a child, you can count the weight as body fat on the BMI scale.
Think long and hard about using this tactic, because if you lose, the child is first on the barbie.
My daughter has offered to draw a picture of a butt for the winner.
With the loser being the model?
With the loser being the CANVAS.

No. I think BMI is all the handicap anyone could need.
I have a friend who clocks in at BMI 47+. He could make it and win.
He should get out and play more tag.
...wait...

Loosers carry the winner down.

Adjustments for sport climbers?

Wait - that doesn't work, because if you have a higher BMI, your score would be lower...
120 min. / 25 BMI = 4.8
120 min. / 30 BMI = 3.6
Sorry.
You really are a lizard brain...
What's your point?
-
High score wins?
It should be
Time to summit / BMI = Score
Low score wins
Notice that the fat kid figgered this out...
-
I've got it!
BMI x TIME TO SUMMIT = SCORE
:fahq: (time to summit) / BMI would make more sense... you get credit for being fat...
Wait - that doesn't work, because if you have a higher BMI, your score would be lower...
120 min. / 25 BMI = 4.8
120 min. / 30 BMI = 4
Sorry.

The legendary French alpinist Gaston Rébuffat said, "You will never regret an early start."
